Atlanta schools listed for achievement, struggles
The Georgia Department of Education has singled out seven city of Atlanta schools for performance or progress while noting three schools where students struggled in a specific academic subject.
The schools on the DOE’s “reward” schools list include Carver Early College, Charles Drew Charter School, Inman Middle School, West Manor Elementary School, Booker T. Washington Early College, KIPP Strive Academy Charter School and South Atlanta School of Law and Social Justice.
Three elementary schools were on the DOE’s “alert” list for below-average subject area performance: Usher/Collier Heights Elementary for reading, and Scott Elementary and Thomasville Elementary for math.
