Brookhaven public schools: every school, zone and report card

Last checked Oct. 6, 2026. Sources: the DeKalb County School District’s school locator, its 2026-27 attendance-zone map data, planning data, cluster feeder patterns and Student Assignment Project page, school websites, the state’s 2025 School Grades data, the federal NCES school directory and the NCES Private School Survey, and the U.S. Census Bureau’s geocoder and city boundary, used to check which schools sit inside city limits.

Public schools in Brookhaven are run by the DeKalb County School District, not the city. Seven district schools sit inside Brookhaven: Cross Keys High and six elementary schools. There is no district middle school in the city. DeKalb PATH Academy, a public charter school for grades 5 to 8, is in Brookhaven too.

Attendance zones do not follow city limits or mailing addresses: most Brookhaven schools have an Atlanta mailing address, and most of the city is zoned for Chamblee High, in neighboring Chamblee. Check one address with the district’s school locator before you buy or rent. The district’s main number is 678-676-1200.

Each school with a page below has its address, phone, principal, report card, zone, feeder schools and calendar. In the tables, enrollment is the state’s count in its 2025 School Grades report, and CCRPI is Georgia’s College and Career Ready Performance Index score from the same report, on a 0 to 100 scale; each score links to that school’s state report card. Schools are listed alphabetically.

High schools

Laying the district’s 2026-27 zone map over the Census Bureau’s city boundary, about 70% of Brookhaven’s land is zoned for Chamblee High, across the north and center of the city; about 22%, a band across the south, for Cross Keys High; and about 8%, at the southern tip, for Druid Hills High. Four-year graduation rates in 2025 were 88% at Chamblee, 73.7% at Cross Keys and 88.7% at Druid Hills, against 81.6% for the district and 87.2% for Georgia.

Middle schools

No district middle school is inside Brookhaven. These three serve the city’s addresses, each matching the high school zone above:

Under the district’s cluster feeder patterns, Chamblee Middle feeds Chamblee High, Druid Hills Middle feeds Druid Hills High, and the Brookhaven part of the Sequoyah Middle zone feeds Cross Keys High.

Elementary schools

Briar Vista is outside the city; its zone covers Brookhaven’s southern tip. Ashford Park and Montgomery feed Chamblee Middle and Chamblee High. John Lewis, Montclair and Woodward feed Sequoyah Middle and Cross Keys High. Cary Reynolds is in Brookhaven, but its zone lies several miles east and includes no Brookhaven address. The 2025 Georgia average CCRPI was 78.6 for elementary schools, 78.4 for middle schools and 76.9 for high schools.

Charter schools

PATH is a start-up charter school authorized by the district, with no attendance zone. Families apply through the school, which posts its fifth grade lottery results. Chamblee High’s own site says it became a charter school in 2001, but it is a zoned school: students who live in its zone are guaranteed a place.

Enrollment by school

The district’s own enrollment and capacity table, updated Oct. 1, 2026, on its planning page, lists several of these schools above their building capacity, including Ashford Park (822 students, capacity 480), Cross Keys (1,586, capacity 1,271) and Chamblee High (1,867, capacity 1,705).

Rezoning under study

The Chamblee, Cross Keys and Druid Hills clusters are three of the six in the district’s Fall 2026 Student Assignment Project, which is redrawing zones for overcrowded schools before new and expanded buildings open from 2027 to 2029: a modernized Cross Keys High, a new elementary school at Dresden, a new Sequoyah Middle and a new Sequoyah High. The district has published three elementary zone options and an options locator that shows which school an address would get under each.

The district says no recommendations have been made, and the Board of Education will consider them in December 2026. Its next public comment sessions are set for 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 20, at Druid Hills Middle School and 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22, at Dunwoody High School. No rezoning affecting Brookhaven schools has been approved.

Private schools

These private schools have an address inside Brookhaven city limits in the NCES Private School Survey for the 2023-24 school year, with the grades it lists; all three use an Atlanta mailing address. NCES says inclusion “does NOT constitute an endorsement of the school” and should not be used to infer accreditation.

• Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic School, 1320 Hearst Drive NE. Pre-K to grade 8.
• St. Martin’s Episcopal School, 3110 Ashford Dunwoody Road NE. Pre-K to grade 8.
