Summary:

Ethos Classical Charter School is the sole elementary school (grades K-5) in the State Specialty Schools II- Ethos Classical Charter School district, serving 676 students in Atlanta, GA, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most remarkable finding for this school is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 1.3%, compared to the state average of 17.7% — a difference of more than 16 percentage points. This is a standout achievement for any school, but especially notable given that the entire student body comes from high-poverty backgrounds. The school has earned a consistent 2-star rating over the past three years, with its state ranking fluctuating from 774th (38th percentile) in 2023-2024, dipping to 848th (32nd percentile) in 2024-2025, and recovering to 795th (35th percentile) in 2025-2026.

In terms of academics, the school showed substantial year-over-year improvement in mathematics between 2024-2025 and 2025-2026. Third-grade math proficiency jumped from 27.3% to 37.5% (+10.2 points), 4th grade improved from 22.9% to 42.4% (+19.5 points), and 5th grade rose from 16.0% to 25.2% (+9.2 points). Despite these gains, the school still trails state averages in every math grade level, with the widest gaps appearing in 5th and 6th grades (roughly 19 points below state). Science is the school's relative strength, with 5th-grade proficiency at 38.7% in 2025-2026, just 5.5 points below the state average. In the most recent ELA data available (2024-2025), 4th-grade ELA proficiency (39.0%) essentially matched the state average (39.3%), while 3rd and 5th grades lagged by 12.9 and 4.3 points respectively. The school spends $14,762 per student with a 16.9:1 student-teacher ratio. With its exceptional attendance, strong math gains, and near-parity performance in several subjects, this is a school showing positive momentum — and the upcoming December ELA release will be key to understanding its full trajectory.
