School Overview

McLendon Elementary sits in the quieter, suburban stretches of unincorporated Decatur — a part of DeKalb County that's close enough to the city to feel connected but spacious enough to feel like a genuine neighborhood. Academically, the school performs below the state median across English, math, and science, so families with strong academic priorities may want to look closely at test score trends and ask questions about classroom support during a visit. That said, the surrounding area is family-friendly with easy access to both Atlanta and the charming City of Decatur proper, making it a convenient home base for families who value location and community ties alongside their school choice.
