Summary

Miles Elementary School in Atlanta, GA, serves 499 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the Atlanta Public Schools district, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Miles Elementary is in the middle of a remarkable turnaround. After several years of 0-star ratings, the school jumped to a 2-star rating in 2025-2026, climbing from the bottom 7% of Georgia elementary schools to the 30th percentile statewide. The most dramatic gains came in math, where 5th grade proficiency soared from 5.9% to 29.3% in a single year, and 3rd grade math jumped from 20.7% to 32.8%. Science is now a standout subject—5th grade proficiency reached 44.8%, which beats the district average (41.7%) and edges out the state average (44.2%). That's a stunning 37.7-point improvement from the prior year. The school also earns a 3-star rating specifically for its work with African American students, ranking in the 55th percentile statewide for that subgroup. Per-student spending has risen to $29,376, and the student-teacher ratio is a favorable 11.8:1.

Compared to nearby schools, Miles now outperforms The Kindezi School in 5th grade math (29.3% vs. 16.7%) and science (44.8% vs. 33.4%), despite Kindezi having a smaller class size. Miles also beats Peyton Forest Elementary School (25.5% science) and Harper-Archer Elementary School (15.5% science) by wide margins. However, chronic absenteeism remains a serious challenge at 44.1%—roughly 2.5 times the state average and far above Beecher Hills Elementary School's 14.6%. There's also a notable gender gap: male students rank in the 18th percentile statewide while female students rank in the 42nd. If the school can tackle attendance and support its male students, it's well-positioned to keep climbing.
