The Georgia average for elementary schools was 78.6 and the DeKalb County School District’s was 73.3.

The same data put 16.8% of third graders and 25.4% of fifth graders reading at or above grade level.

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 Woodward Elementary has been approved.
