Summary

SLAM Academy of Atlanta is a public charter elementary and middle school serving 192 students in grades K-8 in Atlanta, Georgia, which is part of the State Specialty Schools II district.

SLAM Academy of Atlanta has consistently low proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments compared to the state and nearby schools like Cascade Elementary School and Brookview Elementary School. For example, in 2024-2025, only 14.8% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 34.9%. The school's performance has also declined over the past few years, from a ranking of 866 out of 1,238 Georgia elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 1,232 out of 1,242 in 2022-2023.

SLAM Academy has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 63.54% in 2023-2024 to 100% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the nearby Cascade Elementary (98.98%) and Brookview Elementary (100%). Despite the higher per-student spending at SLAM Academy compared to some nearby schools, the school's academic outcomes remain poor, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to the school's challenges.

The school has unruly students. The administration is very unorganized. The owner of the Slam has no idea how a school is run. Pitbull needs to know that this school needs help. The office manager is rude as well. I would never recommend this school to anyone. Once May comes I am gone from this school forever. Close Quote
