Kittredge Magnet School

Public, Magnet Grades 4-6

Summary

Kittredge Magnet School is a public magnet school in Atlanta, GA, serving 552 students in grades 4 through 6 within the DeKalb County school district.

Kittredge stands out for its extraordinary academic results. In the most recent testing year, math proficiency reached 100% in 4th grade, 99.4% in 5th grade, and 99.5% in 6th grade, while 5th-grade science hit 96.1%. These numbers are roughly 60 to 75 percentage points above the DeKalb County district averages and 50 to 60 points above Georgia state averages. This near-perfect performance has been remarkably stable, never dipping below 96.1% in any subject or grade over the past several years. For context, even the region's top-ranked schools don't come close: Beacon Hill Middle School, ranked 10th in the state, posts math proficiency rates of 75–84%, while David T Howard Middle School, ranked 51st, sits at 63–74%. Kittredge's consistency across all grade levels suggests its educational model works uniformly well, not just for certain students or teachers.

The school also reports exceptionally low chronic absenteeism at just 2.3%—11.6 times lower than the district average of 26.7% and 7.7 times lower than the state average. This stands in stark contrast to nearby schools like Stone Mountain Middle School (40.9%) and Sequoyah Middle School (30.8%). Kittredge also serves a student population with minimal economic disadvantage—only 4.89% qualify for free or reduced lunch, compared to 100% at Stone Mountain and DeKalb PATH Academy Charter School. Interestingly, Kittredge achieves these results while spending $17,608 per student—less than several schools with far weaker outcomes, such as Stone Mountain ($18,938) and Druid Hills Middle School ($19,312). Its student-teacher ratio of 15.7:1 is comparable to nearby schools. While its selective magnet status and affluent population likely contribute to its success, the sheer consistency and magnitude of Kittredge's results make it one of the most academically successful middle schools in Georgia.

What people are saying

My child was extremely nervous about changing schools last August, and my wife and I began to question our decision. However,now that we are almost finished with 4th grade, I can honestly say that it was the best decision for all of us. A particular LA 4th grade teacher embraced our son and his unique personality. Since he did not like reading and writing, she incorporated his interests into many activities and also opened up his world to various authors and genres. Now our son is an avid reader and even keeping a journal. We are now even more excited now because she will be teaching 5th grade next year. Kittredge teachers go the extra mile and we are hoping that our 2nd grader will get in next year. Close Quote
