Obama Academy in Atlanta Achieves Perfect Progress Score Amid Pandemic Recovery

Barack and Michelle Obama Academy in Atlanta has achieved a perfect score in the progress section of Georgia’s College and Career Readiness Performance Index. This success reflects steady academic growth across all student groups. The academy has also made strides in closing learning gaps caused by the pandemic.

The academy’s 100% progress score means every level of student—from high to low performers—is advancing. Principal Dr Robin Christian, who has led the school for 11 years, credits this achievement to targeted support and data-driven teaching. Tutors from LEAP, Emory, and Spellman work in small groups to help students improve.

Obama Academy’s results show how focused teaching and community backing can drive academic success. The school has not only recovered from pandemic setbacks but also built a system where every student progresses. With continued effort, this model could serve as an example for others in the district.
