Druid Hills High School

What Druid Hills High School does

Druid Hills High School is listed in the firmographics as a private entity (founded 1967) located in Doraville, Georgia, but all substantive input data describes Evansdale Elementary School — a public Pre-K through 5th grade magnet school operating within DeKalb County School District (DCSD) at 2914 Evans Woods Drive, Doraville, GA. The website URL attached to the firmographics (evansdalees.dekalb.k12.ga.us) corroborates that the underlying entity is Evansdale Magnet Elementary School rather than a high school. For purposes of this analysis, the description reflects the data actually supplied. The school's core offering is a K-5 public education with two differentiated product lines layered atop the standard curriculum: a 50/50 French/English Dual Language Immersion (DLI) program and a STEM-focused magnet program, supplemented by a Gifted program served by State of Georgia-endorsed classroom teachers and an aftercare service (After School Extended Day Program). It is a government entity funded by DeKalb County School District appropriations, federal Title I dollars, and modest fee-based revenue from ASEDP.

The school's principal technical/pedagogical differentiator is its DLI curriculum, structured so that students spend half the instructional day with an English-speaking teacher and half with a French-speaking teacher in a partner-class configuration. This program carries the LabelFranceEducation Seal of Excellence, an official accreditation awarded by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which was renewed across 2019-2023. The STEM program holds the AdvancED (now Cognia) international STEM Certification earned in 2017. Its go-to-market is the DCSD School Choice lottery system (yourchoicedekalb.org), with open enrollment windows for magnet seats in Kindergarten and first grade. Distribution relies entirely on DCSD-managed systems, including the Infinite Campus portal, the Canvas learning management system on DCSD Launchpad, the ClassDojo parent communication platform, and the Principal Advisory Council / Parent Teacher Organization community channels. Pricing is structurally zero-tuition as a public school; the only direct-to-parent fees are ASEDP aftercare subscriptions at $60, $110, or $170 per month for one, two, or three children respectively.

The school's customer base is Pre-K through 5th grade families seeking magnet STEM, French bilingual, or gifted placement, served through DCSD's School Choice lottery. It sustains an articulated K-12 feeder ecosystem through partnerships with Henderson Middle School and Lakeside High School to enable continuous DLI French-language study through graduation. Corporate and nonprofit partners include Kroger, Publix, Horace Mann, Trees Atlanta, STEM for Every Child, and Georgia Tech (host of recurring First Lego League Robotics state qualifiers). Operational leadership is led by Principal Sherita Davis with Assistant Principal Emiley Ingram, under the governance of DCSD School Board District 4 representative Ms. Allyson Gevertz. Recognition includes the 2025 Title I Reward School designation (top 5% of Title I schools in Georgia, one of only 69 statewide), the GADOE John Hancock Award, and multiple Georgia Governor's Awards (Platinum and Silver 2006, Bronze 2009-2010), alongside two School of Excellence designations (2000 and 2006).
