Summary:
The Georgia Fugees Academy Charter School is the sole school in the State Specialty Schools II- Georgia Fugees Academy Charter district in Georgia, serving grades 6-12. With only 174 students, the school faces significant challenges, as evidenced by its consistently low academic performance and poor statewide ranking.
The school's test scores are alarmingly below the state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were just 5.3% in Algebra I, 5.3% in Biology, and 13.8% in 8th grade English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 44.9%, 44.2%, and 39.8%, respectively. This poor academic performance is reflected in the school's 0 star rating and ranking of 435 out of 452 Georgia high schools in the 2024-2025 school year, and 446 out of 458 in the 2023-2024 school year.
Compounding the academic challenges, the Georgia Fugees Academy Charter School serves a high-need student population, with 74.71% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's low statewide ranking, coupled with its high poverty rates, suggests that it may require significant interventions and support to improve student outcomes and provide a more equitable educational experience for its students.
