Summary

Midtown High School in Atlanta, GA, serves approximately 1,696 students in grades 9-12 within the Atlanta Public Schools district, and it stands out as one of the district's strongest high schools with a 4-star rating and a 95.3% graduation rate that exceeds both district and state averages.

Midtown's academic performance is a clear leader among its immediate district neighbors. In the most recent testing year, Midtown posted proficiency rates of 43.9% in Algebra I, 59.5% in Biology, and 35.9% in U.S. History—all dramatically higher than nearby schools like Frederick Douglass High School (23.2% Algebra I, 17% Biology) and Carver High School (8.5% Algebra I). The school's Biology proficiency is a standout strength, exceeding the state average by more than 12 points and nearly doubling the district average. Midtown also earns top rankings for specific student groups, including White students (#13 statewide), Multi-racial students (#8), and strong 4-star ratings for English Language Learners and Special Education students. However, the school has seen its state ranking slip from #47 to #120 over four years, coinciding with a decline in Algebra I proficiency from 57.1% to 43.9%.

Compared to Decatur High School—a nearby 5-star school in the City Schools of Decatur district—Midtown trails in nearly every metric (Decatur posts 67.2% Algebra I and 78.2% Biology proficiency) despite spending more per student ($23,302 vs. $17,609). Midtown's chronic absenteeism rate of 20.6% has improved significantly from 34.6% two years ago and is far better than district peers like Booker T. Washington High School (57.4%). Notably, Charles Drew Charter Ja/Senior Academy outperforms Midtown in Algebra I (70.2%) and U.S. History (54.6%) with the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (8.6%) in the comparison group. While Midtown remains a strong option within its district, its declining math scores and ranking suggest areas for continued focus.

I really enjoy attending Grady. The teachers and opportunities are amazing. One main thing I was hoping to get from Grady was cultural diversity. Even though the school is extremely mixed it's also very cliqish and segregated in a way. Overall though I enjoy it. Close Quote
