Summary

West Manor Elementary School is a K-5 school in Atlanta's 30311 zip code, serving 247 students as part of Atlanta Public Schools, where every student qualifies for free or reduced lunch and the student-teacher ratio is a notably low 10.9:1.

West Manor's academic picture is mixed, with some genuine bright spots alongside areas that need attention. In the most recent testing year, 4th grade math proficiency (45.3%) nearly matched the district average and ranked among the best in the immediate area, while 5th grade science (44.1%) actually exceeded the district average and essentially matched the state average—a standout result compared to nearby schools like Harper-Archer Elementary School (15.5%) and Peyton Forest Elementary School (25.5%). However, 5th grade math proficiency (20.6%) fell well below district and state averages, and 3rd grade math (33.3%) also lagged. The school's overall ranking dropped this year to the 38th percentile (2 stars) from 51st percentile (3 stars) the prior year, continuing a pattern of year-to-year fluctuation. Notably, West Manor performs better for its African American students (55th percentile statewide) than for its overall population, suggesting particular effectiveness with its primary demographic.

Chronic absenteeism remains the school's most significant challenge at 27.3%—nearly double the rate at higher-performing Beecher Hills Elementary School (14.6%), which serves a similar population just 1.5 miles away and ranks in the 72nd percentile. The good news is that West Manor's absenteeism has improved steadily from 32.4% a few years ago. The school spends a substantial $33,146 per student, and its low class sizes provide a strong foundation. With continued focus on attendance and math instruction—especially at the 5th grade level—West Manor has demonstrated it can achieve at higher levels, as shown by its science results and its ability to match district averages in 4th grade math.
