Summary

KIPP Soul Primary is an elementary school in Atlanta, GA, serving 505 students in grades K-5 within the Atlanta Public Schools district, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

KIPP Soul Primary has shown steady improvement over the past four years, climbing from the 8th percentile statewide in 2022-2023 to the 18th percentile in 2025-2026. The school's biggest success story is in 5th grade science, where proficiency jumped from 28.2% to 41.4% in a single year—now nearly matching the district average (41.7%) and close to the state average (44.2%). This outperforms several nearby schools, including Harper-Archer Elementary School (15.5%), Peyton Forest Elementary School (25.5%), and Bazoline E. Usher/Collier Heights Elementary School (24.2%). Math remains a challenge, with proficiency rates well below district and state averages across all grades—5th grade math sits at just 13.3% compared to the state's 44.1%. However, 4th grade math improved from 18.1% to 23.9% year-over-year, showing some grade-level gains.

Chronic absenteeism is a significant hurdle, though the school has made notable progress—dropping from 52.3% in 2021-2022 to 36.4% in 2025-2026. That rate remains more than double the state average (17.7%) and higher than nearby Bolton Academy Elementary (10.9%) and Westside Atlanta Charter School (13.1%). The school also operates efficiently, spending $12,843 per student—far less than most nearby schools like William J. Scott Elementary School ($35,447) or Miles Elementary School ($29,376). While the school's overall ranking remains in the bottom fifth of Georgia elementary schools, its consistent upward trajectory and science gains suggest targeted efforts are beginning to pay off.
