The same data put 76.6% of third graders and 90% of fifth graders reading at or above grade level.

Attendance zone

Zones are set by the district and do not follow city limits. Check any address with the district’s school locator, which shows the 2026-27 elementary, middle and high school zones. Laying the district’s zone map over the Census Bureau’s city boundary, Ashford Park’s zone covers about 30% of Brookhaven’s land, and about nine-tenths of the zone is inside the city.

Rezoning under study: the Chamblee cluster is one of 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. The district has published three elementary zone options and an options locator that shows which school an address would get under each one. It says no recommendations have been made, and the Board of Education will consider them in December 2026. No rezoning affecting Ashford Park Elementary has been approved.
