Summary

Sequoyah Middle School is a public middle school in Atlanta, Georgia, serving 1,710 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the DeKalb County School District, which is ranked 131 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Sequoyah Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sequoyah Middle School's academic performance is significantly lower than the DeKalb County and Georgia state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 15.5% of 6th graders, 13.4% of 7th graders, and 18.2% of 8th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 30.5%, 29.5%, and 31.6% for DeKalb County, respectively. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 78.01% to 100% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than nearby schools.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Chamblee Middle School, which ranks in the top 50 middle schools in Georgia, Sequoyah Middle School's performance is significantly lower. The school's relatively low spending per student and higher student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools may indicate that it is not receiving adequate resources to support student learning and achievement. However, the data also suggests that the school may have strengths in certain subject areas, such as Algebra I, that could be leveraged to improve overall performance.
