This public charter school is part of the Atlanta Public Schools district, which is ranked 139 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Kindezi Old 4th Ward has consistently low performance on state assessments, ranking in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools. The school's proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments are significantly below the district and state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 10.3% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 34.9% at the district and state levels. The school's performance appears to be declining over time, with its statewide ranking dropping from 989 out of 1,248 Georgia elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 981 out of 1,238 in 2024-2025.
Despite the higher spending per student ($20,043) and smaller class sizes (student-teacher ratio of 9.3) at Kindezi Old 4th Ward, the school is not translating these resources into improved academic outcomes for its students. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its instructional practices and resource allocation to better support student learning. Additionally, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (77.14% in 2023-2024) indicates that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, raising concerns about educational equity and the ability of the school to provide a high-quality education to its students.
