Summary
Fulton Academy of Science and Technology is a K-8 charter school in Roswell, GA, serving 552 students within the Fulton County district, and it stands out for its exceptional Algebra I results and low chronic absenteeism, though its statewide ranking has slipped in recent years.
The school’s biggest strength is its advanced math pathway. In 2025-2026, 96.3% of students scored proficient or better on the Algebra I End-of-Course assessment—far above the district’s 60.6% and the state’s 48.1%. This is a consistent pattern, with proficiency rates above 85% for the past three years. The school also shines in high school-level Physical Science, where 86.3% of 8th graders scored proficient, nearly matching the district and beating the state by 25 points. However, standard 8th grade science proficiency is lower at 41.7%, though it has improved from 26.1% the year before. In elementary math, scores range from 58.9% to 69.1% across grades 3-5, which is solid but trails nearby schools like Sweet Apple Elementary (ranked 29th statewide) and Mountain Park Elementary (ranked 12th), where math proficiency often hits 80-90%. Fulton Academy’s middle school math dips to the mid-50s in grades 6-8, though its advanced track students clearly thrive.
Attendance is a clear positive: chronic absenteeism is just 10.8%, well below the district (16.6%) and state (17.7%) averages, and it has improved for three straight years. The school also maintains a favorable 12.2:1 student-teacher ratio and spends $15,191 per student. That said, its statewide rank has declined from 52nd (96th percentile) in 2022-2023 to 210th (83rd percentile) today, and it now sits behind several nearby schools. Compared to Amana Academy School, another K-8 charter just 3.4 miles away, Fulton Academy’s 8th grade math (56.6%) and science (41.7%) trail Amana’s 81.1% and 52.2%, respectively—even though Amana serves a much higher percentage of students from low-income families. For parents, Fulton Academy remains a strong choice, especially for advanced math, but it faces growing competition in a very high-performing area.
