Atlanta High School has several strengths, including consistently high graduation rates of 99.0% and very low dropout rates of 0.1%. However, the school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams is mixed compared to state and district averages. While the school performs well in some subjects like English II Reading and U.S. History, it struggles in others, such as Algebra I, where proficiency rates are significantly lower. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and Gifted and Talented students performing relatively well, but African American students and English Language Learners struggling.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Liberty-Eylau High School, Redwater High School, and Linden-Kildare High School, Atlanta High School generally performs better in terms of graduation rates, dropout rates, and test scores.

Open Quote Sad day when it's the running joke to hear about which teacher the principal is going to visit, to ask to pass some of the laziest students that either slept, did not turn in the work or chose not to do that assignment/test and were failing. Even worse to hear about an assistant principal that would stop certain kids in the hall for having a Yeti but not others. Discipline has become a joke when an honor-roll kid gets in trouble for no reason but an athlete that plows into a glass door with a skateboard inside the school does not, is not sent to ISS, nor is her guardian sent a bill for replace it for the $250 in damage caused, when said athlete violated a school rule in the process. Nothing happened to 3 kids caught in front of the school vaping, which would be a DAEP offense, but they only got 3 days ISS? Come on. These were also kids that were the biggest trouble makers but they weren't touched relative to all they did--and nothing like hearing my daughter come home and complain about it.

Just take a look at the test scores here on site and you'll see this school is going downhill fast but no one's wanting nor trying to fix it. In fact, a few years back, over 40 of the staff left because of the nosedive in discipline and no administration support. It's even worse when one ran out after a few days from a known student miscreant threatening to harm her and then another teacher getting assaulted, and the administration did nothing to the student (and that was supposed to be automatic DAEP placement for the rest of the year). There are even two teachers that don't teach to the point that one will write "70" on worksheets where students only sign their name but do none of the work and other that gives students test answers before the test, so those students make 90s and 100s where the same students in some cases were known to average 60s in other classes because they didn't want to do the work.
