Summary

Miles Elementary School is a public elementary school in Atlanta, Georgia, serving 468 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Atlanta Public Schools district, which is ranked 139 out of 206 districts in the state.

Miles Elementary has consistently underperformed academically compared to the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 20.7% of 3rd graders, 19.7% of 4th graders, and 12.9% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, far below the district's rates of 34.9%, 38%, and 39.1%, respectively. The school's math and science proficiency rates are also significantly lower than the district and state averages. Despite spending between $15,333 and $15,754 per student, which is higher than the district and state averages, the additional funding does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes.

When comparing Miles Elementary to nearby schools in the Atlanta Public Schools district, such as Beecher Hills Elementary and West Manor Elementary, it becomes clear that Miles Elementary is an outlier in terms of academic performance, with proficiency rates that are often double or triple those of Miles Elementary. The analysis also includes data from two elementary schools in the Cobb County School District, which significantly outperform Miles Elementary on academic measures, despite serving student populations with similar high rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility.
