Bolton Academy Elementary

Bolton Academy Elementary serves 557 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Atlanta, Georgia. With a composite score of 9.1/10 and a rating of Exceptional, it ranks #34 out of 2,268 public schools in Georgia — outperforming 98% of schools statewide and placing fifth among 136 Atlanta public schools. Those numbers reflect a school that is genuinely delivering for its students, not just competing at the local level.

Growth is where Bolton especially stands out. A 9.6/10 growth score means students here are advancing faster than grade-level expectations, regardless of where they started. Academic performance earns a 7.7/10, solid on its own but elevated by that growth trajectory.

The 13.3-to-1 student-teacher ratio gives teachers room to provide individualized attention across the full PK–5 grade span. For families evaluating Atlanta elementary options, Bolton's data tells a clear story: strong absolute performance, exceptional student growth, and a class size that supports both. At #29 of 1,301 elementary schools across Georgia, it competes with the best in the state, not just the city. --- **Word count:** 177 | **Comparative facts used:** 3 of 4 (#34 of 2,268 / 98th percentile statewide, #5 of 136 in Atlanta, #29 of 1,301 Georgia elementary schools)
