Summary

Kindezi Old 4th Ward is a K-8 school in Atlanta's historic Old Fourth Ward neighborhood, serving 321 students as part of Atlanta Public Schools.

This school stands out for its remarkably small class sizes—a 9.3:1 student-teacher ratio—and its high per-student spending of $32,734, which is about 45% higher than nearby schools like Morningside Elementary School and Virginia-Highland Elementary School. The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with nearly 97% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. One of its strongest points is performance with African American students, where it ranks in the 58th percentile statewide—well above its overall 37th percentile ranking. The school also shows solid early-grade math results, with 3rd graders matching the state average at 48.4% proficiency. However, scores tend to decline as students move through the grades, with 8th grade math proficiency at just 18.2% compared to the state's 46.3%. Chronic absenteeism sits at 27.7%, essentially matching the district average but higher than the state's 17.7%.

Test scores at Kindezi Old 4th Ward swing dramatically from year to year—for example, 5th grade math proficiency jumped from 2.6% to 32.4% over three years. With only about 35 students per grade, a handful of students can shift results significantly, so multi-year trends matter more than any single year. The school's overall state ranking has been volatile too, recovering from a low of the 15th percentile in 2022-2023 to its current 37th percentile. Compared to nearby schools serving similar demographics, Kindezi outperforms Michael R. Hollis Innovation Academy (4th percentile) and The John Hope-Charles Walter Hill Elementary Schools (21st percentile), and it matches Centennial Place Academy (Charter) in several subjects. However, it trails Wesley International Academy Charter in middle school math and social studies. The school's 8th grade science showed a notable improvement recently, reaching 27.6% proficiency before dipping slightly—a bright spot in an otherwise challenging upper-grade picture.
