Atlanta Public Schools partners with Purpose Built Schools Atlanta, a nonprofit organization with extensive expertise in turnaround education, to operate three traditional APS schools in south Atlanta: Slater Elementary School, Price Middle School, and Carver STEAM Academy.
Partner schools are not charter schools. We are traditional APS public schools. Every student who lives in our attendance zone can enroll in our schools. All of our students are APS students and count toward APS’ enrollment goals.
PBSA receives per-pupil funding from APS at the district’s average rate—just as if our schools were operated directly by APS. Without PBSA, the district would still be responsible for investing the same dollars to educate these same students in these same schools.
