Summary

Woodson Park Academy School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Atlanta Public Schools district, with 878 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Georgia elementary schools over the past several years, receiving 0 or 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing significantly below state and district averages.

Woodson Park Academy's test scores are significantly lower than the Atlanta Public Schools district and the state of Georgia across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 18.9% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA compared to 34.9% for the district and state. The school also has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, suggesting it serves a very economically disadvantaged student population. Despite spending around $15,000-$16,000 per student, which is higher than the state average, Woodson Park Academy has a higher student-teacher ratio than nearby charter schools like Westside Atlanta Charter School.

The nearby charter schools like Centennial Place Academy, Westside Atlanta Charter, and KIPP Strive Primary generally outperform Woodson Park Academy on test scores, with proficiency rates 10-20 percentage points higher across subjects and grade levels. Additionally, Woodson Park Academy's ranking and test scores have steadily declined over the past 5-6 years, going from the bottom 15% of Georgia elementary schools to the bottom 10%, indicating the school is struggling to improve and may need significant intervention.
