Summary:

Zip code 30310 in Atlanta is home to four elementary schools within the Atlanta Public Schools district, serving grades Pre-K through 5th and enrolling between 291 and 627 students, with every student qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

For parents, the standout choice in this area is KIPP Strive Primary Charter School, which is the clear academic leader. It holds the highest state ranking (697th, 43rd percentile) and is the only school in the zip code with a 2-star rating. Its math proficiency rates are substantially higher than its peers—for example, 42.8% of 4th graders are proficient in math, more than double the 20.4% at T. J. Perkerson Elementary School. Interestingly, KIPP Strive achieves these results while spending far less per student ($10,925) than the traditional schools, which spend between $26,855 and $39,281. Finch Elementary spends the most per student but ranks third in the zip code, highlighting a disconnect between resources and outcomes. Charles L. Gideons Elementary School is the most improved, jumping 207 spots in state ranking, with 5th grade math proficiency rising from 7.1% to 25.5%.

All four schools face significant challenges, ranking in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools and exceeding both district (27.6%) and state (17.7%) averages for chronic absenteeism. Gideons has the highest rate at 41.7%, while KIPP Strive has the lowest at 22.1%. Despite these hurdles, 5th grade science scores offer a bright spot, with KIPP Strive (42.6%) nearly matching the state average (44.2%). Overall, this zip code represents a concentrated area of educational and economic challenge, but KIPP Strive demonstrates that strong outcomes are achievable, and Gideons shows that significant improvement is possible.
