Harper-Archer Elementary School

Summary:

Harper-Archer Elementary School is a public elementary school in Atlanta, Georgia, serving 641 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Atlanta Public Schools district, which is ranked 149 out of 203 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Harper-Archer Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Georgia elementary schools, with only 11% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2023-2024, compared to 36.2% for the district and 38.4% for the state. The school's performance is significantly lower than nearby schools like Beecher Hills Elementary, which had 46.2% of 3rd graders proficient or better in the same subject. Harper-Archer also has a higher student-teacher ratio of 12.4, compared to 9.8 at Beecher Hills and 8.9 at The Kindezi School.

The high poverty level of the school, with a 100% free and reduced-lunch rate, is consistent with the nearby schools, suggesting the community faces significant socioeconomic challenges. This likely contributes to the persistent academic underperformance observed at Harper-Archer, which has ranked in the bottom 10% of Georgia elementary schools for the past four years. Addressing these challenges will require targeted interventions and support, such as increased funding, professional development for teachers, and evidence-based instructional programs, to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
