Soaring with #APSExcellence! We are thrilled to share that Atlanta Public Schools has achieved a 90.48% graduation rate for the Class of 2025! This is the highest graduation rate in our district’s history! For the first time ever, our district’s graduation rate has reached higher than 90 percent. Not only did we surpass last year’s rate of 88.6%, but we also outperformed the state’s graduation rate of 87.2% for the third year in a row! It has taken a community of believers to get here, and we are excited to continue our pursuit of excellence in APS!

What a night of rival APS football! This evening the Benjamin E. Mays Raiders went head-to-head against the Frederick Douglass Astros, with both teams giving it their all on the field! In the end, it was the Astros who walked away with the victory!
