Summary

Coretta Scott King Young Women's Leadership Academy is a public high school in Atlanta, Georgia, serving 339 students in grades 6-12 as part of the Atlanta Public Schools district.

The school has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 84.4% to 100% over the past few years, which is higher than the district and state averages. However, the school's performance on the Georgia Milestones assessments is mixed compared to the district and state, with the school outperforming in some subject areas like Biology and United States History, but lagging behind in others like English Language Arts and Mathematics. Coretta Scott King Young Women's Leadership Academy has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 94.99% to 100% over the past few years, and a higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools.

When compared to other schools in the Atlanta Public Schools district, Coretta Scott King Young Women's Leadership Academy generally performs better on test scores in certain subject areas, but faces challenges in consistently meeting the academic needs of its students, as evidenced by its fluctuating statewide ranking and mixed academic performance. The school's focus on serving young women and its relatively high graduation rates are positive indicators, but addressing the academic performance in certain subject areas could be an area of focus for the school and the district.
