Summary

Atlanta High School in Atlanta, TX, serves 511 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the Atlanta Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 66th percentile statewide. The school currently holds a 2-star rating, with about 58.7% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, indicating a moderate level of economic disadvantage in the community.

The school's standout strength is its exceptional student retention: it boasts a 100% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year, a consistent trend over five years. This far surpasses nearby schools like Liberty-Eylau High School (94% graduation, 1.9% dropout) and even the higher-performing Redwater High School (97.5% graduation, 0.3% dropout). Academically, Atlanta excels in English Language Arts, outperforming the state average in both English I (58.33% proficient vs. 55.43%) and English II (61.72% vs. 59.88%). The school also shows strong effectiveness with Special Education students, ranking in the 81st percentile statewide in 2024-2025, a significant improvement from the prior year.

However, Atlanta faces a major challenge in Algebra I, where only 34.78% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 54.03%—a gap highlighted by Redwater High School's 73.13% proficiency rate. The school also shows inconsistent performance across student groups, with notable struggles in serving White and African American students. On a positive note, Biology proficiency has improved from 43.08% to 64.57% over two years, suggesting the school can boost academic outcomes. Overall, Atlanta High School creates a highly supportive environment that keeps nearly every student on track to graduate, but its next step is translating that support into stronger academic mastery, particularly in math.

What people are saying

Friday, December 27, 2019

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.
