Middle Schools in State Specialty Schools II- Atlanta SMART Academy

Summary:

The State Specialty Schools II- Atlanta SMART Academy district contains a single middle school, Atlanta SMART Academy, which serves grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 213 students.

Atlanta SMART Academy is a low-performing public charter school, ranking 431 out of 584 Georgia middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on the Milestones Assessment have consistently lagged behind the state averages, ranging from 9.6% in 6th grade math to 42.9% in 5th grade ELA, compared to state averages of 37.3% to 47%. This suggests the school may need to implement more effective instructional strategies and interventions to support student learning.

Despite having a low student-teacher ratio of 11.5, which is lower than the state average, the school has a high percentage of students (88.26% in 2023-2024) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families. This factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges, and the district may need to explore ways to provide additional resources and support to address the needs of its student population.
