Summary

Cirrus Charter Academy is an elementary school located in Macon, Georgia that serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 498 students. The school is part of the State Specialty Schools II- Cirrus Charter Academy district, which is ranked 205 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cirrus Charter Academy consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Georgia, with proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments that are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 6.1% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 34.9%. The school also has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating that all of its students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Cirrus Charter Academy spends between $9,111 and $9,807 per student, which is slightly lower than the nearby Bibb County schools, and has a higher student-teacher ratio ranging from 15.3 to 20.5.

The nearby Veterans Elementary, Southfield Elementary, and Burdell Elementary schools generally outperform Cirrus Charter Academy on academic measures, despite also serving high-poverty student populations. One notable exception is Alexander II Magnet School, a high-performing public magnet school in the Bibb County district that consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Georgia. Cirrus Charter Academy's performance has remained stagnant or declined over the past several years, with no significant improvements in academic outcomes, suggesting that the school may need to implement more intensive interventions and support systems to help its students succeed.
