Summary

Atlanta Neighborhood Charter - Middle is a small, high-performing middle school in Atlanta, GA, serving 233 students in grades 6-8 within the Atlanta Public Schools district.

This school stands out for its exceptional math results. In the most recent school year, proficiency rates in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade math were 40.3%, 64%, and 56%, respectively—well above state averages. The standout is Algebra I, where 88.9% of students scored proficient, more than double the district average (41.7%) and nearly double the state average (48.1%). This strong math performance has been consistent over the past few years. The school also boasts a very low chronic absenteeism rate of just 9.8%, compared to 27.6% for the district and 17.7% statewide. This high level of student engagement likely contributes to its academic success. The school maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 9.6:1 and spends a significant $28,673 per student, which is higher than many comparable schools in the area.

When compared to nearby middle schools, Atlanta Neighborhood Charter - Middle is a clear academic leader. For example, its 8th-grade math proficiency rate of 56% is more than double that of Martin L. King Junior Middle School (34.2%) and vastly exceeds the 10-40% range seen at other nearby schools like Kipp Strive Charter School and Sylvan Hills Middle School. It also compares favorably to David T Howard Middle School, another top performer, but with a much smaller, more resource-intensive environment. While the school’s state ranking dipped slightly from the 86th to the 77th percentile this year, it remains a consistent 4-star school. For parents seeking a small, well-funded school with outstanding math outcomes and strong student attendance, Atlanta Neighborhood Charter - Middle is an excellent option.
