Summary:
The 30340 zip code area in DeKalb County, Georgia is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. While the overall district performance is below average, with DeKalb County ranked 138 out of 203 districts in the state, a few standout schools in the area demonstrate strong academic achievement.
Evansdale Elementary School is the top performer, with 37.1% to 50.6% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and 42% of 5th graders proficient in science. In contrast, Doraville United Elementary School and Pleasantdale Elementary School struggle, scoring well below the state averages. The two charter schools in the area, Tapestry Public Charter School and Georgia Fugees Academy Charter School, have mixed performance, with Tapestry outperforming the district and state in several areas.
The data suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement, as the schools with the highest free and reduced lunch rates, such as Sequoyah Middle School, tend to have the lowest test scores. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the performance gaps between the higher and lower-performing schools in the 30340 zip code area.
