Summary

Harper-Archer Elementary School serves approximately 545 students in grades PK-5 in Atlanta's Collier Heights neighborhood, as part of Atlanta Public Schools.

Harper-Archer has ranked in the bottom 10% of Georgia elementary schools for five consecutive years, currently placing in the 8th percentile statewide. Test scores trail district and state averages significantly across all subjects. For example, 5th grade math proficiency is 14.9% compared to 39.3% for the district and 44.1% for the state. The gap widens as students progress—3rd graders trail the state by about 22 percentage points in math, but by 5th grade that gap grows to 29 points. Chronic absenteeism affects 33.5% of students, nearly double the state average, though this is a meaningful improvement from 54.3% in 2021-2022. On a positive note, 3rd grade math proficiency has climbed from 7.3% to 26.7% over three years, suggesting recent interventions may be gaining traction. The school spends $31,645 per student—well above the state average—and maintains a favorable 11:1 student-teacher ratio.

Comparing nearby schools reveals important context. Beecher Hills Elementary School, just 3 miles away, serves the same 100% free/reduced lunch population yet ranks in the 72nd percentile with a 4-star rating, achieving 60.7% 5th grade math proficiency versus Harper-Archer's 14.9%. KIPP Soul Primary spends less than half of Harper-Archer's budget yet achieves nearly triple the 5th grade science proficiency. Meanwhile, Bazoline E. Usher/Collier Heights Elementary School, located just 0.34 miles away, more than doubles Harper-Archer's 5th grade math scores. These contrasts suggest that improvement is possible within the same community context, and that school-level factors—not just socioeconomic conditions—play a critical role in outcomes.
