Summary

Atlanta Unbound Academy is a public charter elementary and middle school serving 190 students in grades K-8 in College Park, Georgia. The school is part of the State Specialty Schools II district, which is ranked 199 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Atlanta Unbound Academy consistently performs significantly below the state average in proficiency rates for the Georgia Milestones assessments across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 7.7%, compared to the state average of 34.9%. In math, the 3rd grade proficiency rate was just 3.8%, compared to 44.3% statewide. The school's performance is also significantly lower than the nearby Fulton County public schools, such as Hapeville Elementary, Hamilton E. Holmes Elementary, and Parklane Elementary, which all have proficiency rates well above 20% in most grade levels and subjects.

The high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at Atlanta Unbound Academy, ranging from 53.53% in 2022-2023 to 88.95% in 2023-2024, suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges. This may contribute to the school's academic struggles, as research has shown that poverty can be a significant barrier to student achievement. The school's student-teacher ratio has fluctuated, ranging from 17.2 in 2021-2022 to 12.6 in 2023-2024, which is generally higher than the nearby Fulton County schools. Given the school's consistently low academic performance and high poverty concentration, there may be a need for targeted interventions and additional support to help improve student outcomes.
