Summary

Banneker High School is a public high school located in College Park, Georgia, serving 1,786 students in grades 9-12. Despite receiving higher per-student funding than the state average, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Georgia high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Banneker High School's academic performance is a significant concern, with low graduation rates and proficiency rates on state assessments that are significantly lower than the Fulton County and state averages across all subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rate in American Literature was just 21.6%, compared to 51.2% for Fulton County and 40.4% for the state. The school's 100% free/reduced lunch rate, which is higher than nearby schools, may be a contributing factor to its low performance.

Compared to other high schools in the Fulton County district, Banneker High School significantly underperforms. For instance, Global Impact Academy, located just 3.19 miles away, has much higher test scores and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, while Skyview High School, located 3.27 miles away, also has extremely low proficiency rates.
