The city of East Point, Georgia is home to 10 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Fulton County School District. The district is ranked 57 out of 203 in the state and rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. Two standout schools in the area are Resurgence Hall Charter School, an elementary school ranked 136 out of 1,248 in Georgia with strong test scores, and Parklane Elementary School, which has shown improvement in its rankings over the past few years.
The data reveals significant disparities in test scores between the highest and lowest performing schools in East Point. For example, in 3rd grade English Language Arts, Resurgence Hall Charter School had 68% proficiency, while Conley Hills Elementary School had only 21.6% proficiency. Additionally, the majority of schools in the area serve a predominantly low-income student population, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
While some schools like Parklane Elementary have shown improvement, others such as Tri-Cities High School and the two middle schools have consistently low rankings and test scores, indicating opportunities for targeted interventions to enhance educational quality and equity in the region. The presence of two charter schools, Resurgence Hall and Fulton Leadership Academy, also highlights the potential for innovative models to improve outcomes in underserved communities.
