GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Since being at Elite Scholars since the sixth grade, I have been prepared for college classes, met many people that I don't think I would've met if I did not attend this school. I would say the school could improve on making the school environment a little more welcoming. Other than that, I've enjoyed my time at this school. I would recommend for anyone that wants to challenge themselves and be around many more like-minded people.

Overall, my experience has been pretty good. I've made great relationships, and have had many opportunities to excel academically and engage in my interests. The work can be very rigorous though, and some teachers aren't the best at communicating ideas. I would like to see more options for computer science and digital media in the future, as we definitely have the resources.

Overall, My experience at Elite Scholars Academy has been awesome. I have been at Elite since I was in 6th grade. Elite has helped me become the person I am today. I have gotten so many opportunities from Elite that I don't know if I would get elsewhere. I have made amazing connections with people and I have met amazing people along this journey. My school is well known for career readiness, I can say that my school truly does prepare us for college. Again, My experience at Elite Scholars has been amazing.

Elite was great when my daughter attended but she decided she wanted to do more "Art" and transferred to Stilwell. Both are great!

Elite Scholars Academy is by far the best public school in Clayton county and one of the best in the Atlanta area. This is not your ordinary public school. All of their classes are taught at least an advanced level, and they have many AP offerings. Students have to meet certain academic requirements...
