Summary:
The 30318 zip code in Atlanta, Georgia is home to a single public middle school, John Lewis Invictus Academy, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 738 students. The school is part of the Atlanta Public Schools district, which is ranked 139 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
John Lewis Invictus Academy has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, going from 540 out of 577 Georgia middle schools in 2022-2023 to 551 out of 584 in 2024-2025, with a 0-star rating. The school's academic performance is significantly below state and district averages across multiple subjects and grade levels, with the percentage of students proficient or better in Milestones Assessments ranging from 6.7% (7th grade Math) to 56.5% (Algebra I), compared to state averages of 37.3% to 47%. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 100% in 2023-2024.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.3, which is lower than the state average, and higher per-student spending of $14,191 for the 2018-2019 school year, the consistent underperformance of John Lewis Invictus Academy compared to state and district averages is a significant concern. The focus should be on identifying and addressing the root causes of the school's academic challenges to improve student outcomes and provide a better educational experience for the community.
