State report card

Carver Early College’s 2025 CCRPI single score was 68.2, according to the state’s School Grades data. The Georgia average for high schools was 76.9 and Atlanta Public Schools’ was 73.9. The school’s single score was 55.7 in 2023, 66.5 in 2024 and 68.2 in 2025. The full report card, with subgroups and the parts of the score, is on the state’s Carver Early College report card.

CCRPI is the Georgia Department of Education’s “comprehensive school improvement, accountability, and communication platform,” according to GaDOE. The single score runs from 0 to 100 and is built from content mastery, progress, closing gaps and readiness, plus graduation rate for high schools. Georgia does not publish an A-to-F letter grade for schools in its 2025 data.

The four-year graduation rate was 93.7% for 2025, against 87.2% statewide and 90.5% for Atlanta Public Schools, according to the same data.

Attendance zone

Zones are drawn by Atlanta Public Schools, so a neighborhood name or mailing address does not settle which school a home is zoned for. Check the address with the APS School Zone Locator; the district’s Carver zone map shows the cluster’s high school boundary.

The district’s feeder list ends the Carver cluster at “Carver”: the Carver campus on McDonough Boulevard, which Carver Early College shares with STEAM Academy at Carver. The cluster’s middle schools are Price Middle and Sylvan Hills Middle, and its elementary schools are Slater Elementary, Finch Elementary, Kindezi at Gideons and Perkerson Elementary, according to the district’s feeder pattern list.

We found no board-approved rezoning that changes Carver Early College’s zone. In December 2025 the Atlanta Board of Education approved Phase 1 of APS Forward 2040, the district’s long-range facilities plan, which closes six schools in fall 2027, according to the district. The zone changes that follow, which the board is scheduled to vote on Monday, Dec. 7, are centered on the closing elementary schools; draft maps are on the district’s APS Forward 2040 page.
