Tapestry Public Charter School

Q: Is Tapestry Public Charter School a good school?

Tapestry Public Charter School ranks 265 th of 458 Georgia high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Tapestry Public Charter School is a high school located in Doraville, Georgia, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 299 students. It is part of the DeKalb County School District, which is ranked 138 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tapestry Public Charter School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past few years, ranging from 265th out of 458 Georgia high schools in 2023-2024 to as low as 383rd out of 438 in 2018-2019. However, the school has relatively strong four-year graduation rates, ranging from 81.5% to 93.8% over the past four years, which is higher than the graduation rates of some nearby schools like Elizabeth Andrews High School (8.3%) and Gwinnett Intervention Education Center (GIVE) West (0.0%). Tapestry's test scores on the Georgia Milestones Assessments are mixed, with the school performing better than the district in some subject areas like Biology, but lagging behind in others like Algebra I and United States History.

Despite the higher per-student spending at Tapestry Public Charter School, ranging from $14,020 to $18,249 per student over the past three years, the school's overall academic performance, as measured by its statewide ranking and test scores, is still relatively low compared to the state and nearby traditional public high schools, such as Chamblee High School and Dunwoody High School. This suggests that simply spending more money may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes, and the school may need to focus on other factors like curriculum, teaching quality, and student engagement.

My family has had a great experience at Tapestry. This is our fourth year there. I am grateful that this school exists and feel so lucky to have gotten in through the lottery. Thank you, Tapestry! Close Quote

If you are on the fence about sending your children here because of all the fancy labels and bold claims, let me just say this: do not send your autistic child here. The paras are not equipped or trained to handle or teach special kids. Do not send your neurotypical kids here. Their education is in jeopardy, and if there is a strong autistic kid on the loose that likes to run around the school and hit students, they will not be protected. And if your kid is sent here and they are bullied, expect nothing to be done about it. If they dare fight back or defend theirselves, they will be dealt the same punishment the bully receives. Proceed at your own risk. Close Quote

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.
