John Robert Lewis Elementary School

Brookhaven sits in one of metro Atlanta's most energetic and rapidly growing pockets, and John Robert Lewis Elementary reflects that same momentum — though families should know the school currently faces some real academic challenges, with test scores placing it in the lower tier statewide. That said, DeKalb County has been investing in its schools, and the surrounding neighborhood's mix of young families, local restaurants, and easy access to major corridors makes Brookhaven itself a genuinely appealing place to put down roots. Families who are engaged and looking to be part of a school's growth story, rather than simply plugging into an established high performer, may find a community worth investing in here.
