Summary

Judson Price Middle School in Atlanta, GA, serves 241 students in grades 6-8 within the Atlanta Public Schools district, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Georgia middle schools, currently sitting at the 7th percentile statewide (537 out of 578 schools) with a zero-star rating—a slight improvement from last year's 4th percentile but still deeply concerning.

Academic proficiency rates are dramatically below district and state averages across nearly every subject. In 2025-2026, math proficiency ranged from 7.8% (7th grade) to 10.8% (8th grade), compared to district averages of 32.8% and 38.6% respectively. Social studies is particularly weak at just 4.3% proficiency versus the district's 32.6%—a gap of over 28 percentage points. The one relative bright spot is Algebra I, where 25% of students scored proficient, though this still trails the district's 41.7%. Chronic absenteeism remains a defining challenge at 40.5%—more than double the state average of 17.7%—though it has improved from 46.4% two years ago.

Perhaps the most striking finding is the disconnect between resources and outcomes. Judson Price spends $36,877 per student—65% more than Kipp Strive Charter School and 179% more than Resurgence Hall Middle Academy, which achieves dramatically better results with a 76th percentile ranking. The student-teacher ratio of 8.3 is the lowest among nearby schools, yet this investment hasn't translated into competitive outcomes. When compared to Herman J. Russell West End Academy—which serves a similar 100% free/reduced lunch population with comparable spending—Judson Price underperforms significantly (7.8% vs. 21% in 7th grade math, and 4.3% vs. 30.1% in social studies). The Special Education subgroup ranks dead last (0th percentile) among all 425 Georgia schools with comparable programs. While there are modest signs of progress—science proficiency improved from 7.7% to 16.1% and the school's ranking has ticked upward—the persistent gaps suggest that additional funding alone cannot address the deep-rooted challenges facing this school.
