State Specialty Schools II- SLAM Academy of Atlanta


Summary:

The SLAM Academy of Atlanta is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in the State Specialty Schools II- SLAM Academy of Atlanta district. With only 157 students, the school is struggling, ranking 1,006 out of 1,248 elementary schools in Georgia and earning a 1-star rating.

The SLAM Academy of Atlanta's academic performance is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. In 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from just 6.3% to 27.3%, compared to the state average of 37% to 48.2%. Similarly, the school's Mathematics proficiency rates, ranging from 6.7% to 36.4%, fall well short of the state average of 37.6% to 48.1%. Despite the school's high per-student spending of $23,458 and low student-teacher ratio of 16.1 to 1, it appears to be failing to effectively support its 100% free or reduced-price lunch student population.

The data suggests the SLAM Academy of Atlanta is in need of significant improvement to provide a high-quality education to its students. With a declining statewide rank and low 1-star rating, the school must address its academic shortcomings and utilize its resources more effectively to better serve the needs of its high-need student population.
