School construction, renovations and closures are forcing hundreds of Atlanta Public Schools students to relocate during the 2013-2014 school year.

Atlanta Preparatory Academy charter school and Parks Middle School are closing, and Westside Academy and KIPP Vision Primary are opening.

Other affected schools include Bunche Middle, Coan Middle, Kennedy Middle, Jackson High, North Atlanta High, E. Rivers Elementary, Sutton Middle and Sylvan Hills Middle.
