Summary

Amana Academy School is a K-8 charter school in downtown Alpharetta, GA, serving 667 students within the Fulton County school district. This school has earned a reputation for consistent excellence, holding a 4-star rating every year on record and ranking in the top quartile statewide for a decade—currently sitting at the 88th percentile.

What truly sets Amana apart is its remarkable performance on high school-level End of Course assessments. Every single student taking Algebra I and High School Physical Science met proficiency standards (100%), and Biology proficiency hit 95.5%—far exceeding district and state averages. This acceleration program is a standout feature. The school also achieves strong results while serving a more diverse population than its neighbors: 47.5% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, compared to just 6.1% at Crabapple Crossing Elementary School and 14% at Cogburn Woods Elementary School. Despite this, Amana's 5th grade math proficiency (72.9%) rivals or exceeds those more affluent schools. The school also ranks in the top 6% statewide for African American students and the top 4% for White students, demonstrating strong outcomes across all groups.

Parents should note a few patterns. Math scores dip in 6th grade (55.5% proficiency) before recovering strongly by 8th grade (81.1%), suggesting a transition challenge that the school successfully overcomes. Chronic absenteeism (13.2%) is lower than the district (16.6%) and state (17.7%) averages. Compared to the nearby Fulton Academy of Science and Technology, Amana outperforms it in nearly every subject, despite serving a student body with nearly nine times the economic disadvantage. With per-student spending of $16,204—lower than several neighboring schools with weaker results—Amana Academy delivers exceptional value and a proven track record of academic acceleration.

Amana is a wonderful learning choice for all students. The smaller class sizes, epsecially in middle school are invaluable. The teachers are very engaging and highly trained. Students have the opportunity through Expeditionary Learning to fully delve into curriculum standards through hands on experiences that incorporate all subject areas. The school focuses also on making global citizens of their students who show compassion and leadership while trying to make the world a better place. Close Quote

The ratings do not communicate the whole picture. Amana Academy middle school students are performing better than 99 of students across Georgia as evidenced by the Student Growth Performance metric. Most students transfer to our school in elementary grades and the data clearly shows Amana's program lifts their academic achievement over time at a faster rate than their peers at other schools through the middle school grades. We credit a collaboration between parents and faculty who implement the acclaimed Harvard-based EL Education program with a STEM theme that prepares students become 21st century change-makers!

My girls have enjoyed learning at Amana Academy. My daughter was having some difficulty in maths and her teacher stepped out of her way to help her cope with challenges. Great team to work with. Close Quote

This is my daughter's 2nd year at Amana and we are very happy with our choice to send her here. When I ask her how her day was she either says "great!" or gives me a bug thumbs up with a smile :) Close Quote

The school is open and contains a friendly environment that is absolutely impossible to find in any "normal" public school. Although the education is claimed to be stupendous, its is more based on testing and more testing. Also, while some teachers are fantastic and provide lifelong learning experiences, the other few are lazy and often do not know how to efficiently teach or develop a teaching style. However, the school is very in touch with parents and promotes several activities. If more students were to come to this school and more parents volunteered, then Amana Academy would be able to provide a bright future for all children seeing it is diverse, in depth, and provides a simple outward approach to education in terms of their building, supplies, and materials.
