The school consistently outperforms the Atlanta Public Schools district and the state of Georgia in standardized test scores, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that are significantly higher than state averages.

Both of my children were fortunate enough to get their school start at Morris Brandon and today those years are still paying dividends. Elementary friends have become lifelong connections. The teachers are top notch and become loving supporters of families and students alike. The bar is held high and traditions hold firm. A loving, wonderful place. Once a Bee, always a Bee.
