High Schools in Atlanta Public Schools


Summary:

The Atlanta Public Schools district is home to 15 high schools serving students in grades 9-12. These schools vary significantly in their academic performance, with some standouts like North Atlanta High School and Midtown High School ranking among the top 150 high schools in Georgia and earning 4-star ratings. In contrast, schools like Carver High School and Hank Aaron New Beginnings Academy struggle with lower test scores and graduation rates.

The data reveals significant disparities in student outcomes across the district. For example, the 4-year graduation rate ranges from 62.1% at Frederick Douglass High School to 100% at Coretta Scott King Young Women's Leadership Academy. Similarly, proficiency rates on state assessments vary widely, with some schools performing well above the district and state averages, while others lag behind. These performance gaps suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the achievement gap within the Atlanta Public Schools district.

The data also highlights the relationship between socioeconomic status and academic outcomes, with schools serving higher percentages of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds tending to have lower test scores and graduation rates. Additionally, the charter schools in the district, such as Charles Drew Charter Ja/Senior Academy and Coretta Scott King Young Women's Leadership Academy, demonstrate a range of outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond just district-level policies and resources may play a significant role in shaping student success.
