Montclair Elementary’s 2025 CCRPI single score was 65.0, according to the state’s School Grades data. The Georgia average for elementary schools was 78.6 and the DeKalb County School District’s was 73.3. The school scored 71.7 in 2023 and 63.4 in 2024; a single school’s score can move several points from one year to the next. The full report card is on the state’s Montclair Elementary report card.

The single score runs from 0 to 100 and is built from content mastery, progress, closing gaps and readiness, plus graduation rate for high schools. Georgia does not publish an A-to-F letter grade for schools in its 2025 data.

The same data put 18.5% of third graders and 25.9% 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, only about a third of Montclair’s zone is inside Brookhaven, a small area on the city’s eastern edge; the rest is outside the city.

Under the district’s cluster feeder patterns, Montclair feeds Sequoyah Middle School, 3456 Aztec Road, and then Cross Keys High. Cary Reynolds, Dresden, John Lewis and Woodward elementary schools are in the same cluster.

Rezoning under study: the Cross Keys 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 Montclair Elementary has been approved.
