Summary:
The 30311 zip code area of Atlanta, Georgia is home to 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, all part of the Atlanta Public Schools district. While the district as a whole is ranked 149 out of 203 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, a few standout schools in the 30311 area demonstrate stronger performance.
Beecher Hills Elementary School has the highest statewide ranking among the elementary schools, ranking 580 out of 1,248 Georgia elementary schools and receiving a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. It also has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the other elementary schools in the area. West Manor Elementary School also has a relatively high statewide ranking, coming in at 783 out of 1,248 Georgia elementary schools, and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, with the second-highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics among the elementary schools. The public charter middle school, Atlanta SMART Academy, has the highest statewide ranking among the middle schools, ranking 423 out of 588 Georgia middle schools, and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts across all grade levels compared to the other middle schools.
However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools, both in terms of statewide rankings and proficiency rates on standardized tests. This suggests that students in the 30311 zip code area may not be receiving equitable educational opportunities. Additionally, the extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across all the schools indicate that the student population in this area faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may impact their educational outcomes. The wide range in per-student spending, from $15,320 to $21,668, also suggests that there may be funding disparities between the schools that could contribute to the performance gaps observed.
