Original Research by School Decision on State Specialty Schools Ii- Fulton Leadership Academy

State Specialty Schools II- Fulton Leadership Academy was a single-school district serving middle and high school grades in East Point, Fulton County. The school operated as a charter focused on STEM and aviation education and served an enrollment that was almost entirely Black students, with the vast majority of families qualifying for free or reduced price lunch, though exact counts for that program were not available in the data.

The district's academic results on state assessments were substantially below the midpoint among Fulton County's districts. In the most recent testing year available, proficiency rates in English language arts, math, science, and social studies ranged from the low teens to the low forties. Math proficiency was particularly low, in the low twenties. These results placed the district well below the county median across tested subjects. The school had a chronic absenteeism rate above the county midpoint, suggesting attendance challenges that may have compounded academic outcomes.

However, this school no longer exists. The State Charter Schools Commission of Georgia voted in late February 2024 not to renew Fulton Leadership Academy's charter. Publicly reported accounts cited both financial pressures and academic performance as reasons. The school had structural financial constraints including a building lease with annual escalators that commissioners believed would have exhausted the budget mid-way through the next school year. The school ceased operations on June 30, 2024. The single-school district closed with it, and families must now enroll elsewhere. For any parent or resident considering this area or researching what education options existed, this school is no longer available.
