Herman J. Russell West End Academy is a part of the Atlanta Public School System and serves students in grades 6 through 8. While the administration seeks to maintain the historical integrity of the building built in the 1920s, it has also worked hard to update the facility and how it serves students. The school strives to provide education that caters to the unique gifts of each student. To achieve this, H.J. Russell has been renovated and extended to include a counseling suite, a music suite, an auditorium, a STEM lab, a media center and a dance studio. Students also benefit from the curriculum dedicated to helping them excel with honors classes and gifted/talented programs available. The school also seeks to serve the community and students with its clinic facility.
Herman J. Russell West End Academy is dedicated to the progress of the community through the lives of the students and community members in general, making it a beneficial staple in the West End neighborhood.
