Summary:
The Atlanta Heights Charter School is the sole elementary school located within the State Specialty Schools II- Atlanta Heights Charter School district. Serving grades K-8, the school has struggled to provide a high-quality education, consistently performing well below the state average on standardized tests across all subject areas.
With an enrollment of 765 students, Atlanta Heights Charter School has a student-teacher ratio of 25.2 to 1 and spends approximately $10,599 per student. However, the school's academic performance paints a concerning picture, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranging from 12.5% to 26.9% and Mathematics proficiency rates between 5.6% and 25.4% - all significantly below the state averages of 34.9% to 43% and 37.3% to 49%, respectively. The school's overall state ranking places it in the bottom 15% of Georgia elementary schools, and it has maintained this low ranking for the past three school years.
The high concentration of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, at 99.61%, suggests the school serves a population facing significant economic challenges. While these challenges can present additional barriers to academic success, the data indicates that Atlanta Heights Charter School has struggled to effectively support its students and improve their educational outcomes over time. Addressing the underlying issues and implementing targeted interventions may be necessary to help the school better serve its community and provide a higher-quality education.
