Students at Harper-Archer Elementary go on to John Lewis Invictus Academy and then Douglass High, according to the district’s feeder pattern list. APS says its cluster model sends every student at an elementary school to the same middle school and then the same high school.

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. APS has not yet adopted the new zones: draft maps are on the APS Forward 2040 page and a board vote is planned for Monday, Dec. 7. We found no approved rezoning that changes Harper-Archer Elementary’s own zone so far.
