CRIM HIGH SCHOOL

Crim High School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Atlanta Public Schools school district, located in Atlanta, GA with about 125 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 23 teachers, Crim High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 5:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Crim High School, located in the Edgewood neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia, is an alternative educational institution within the Atlanta Public Schools (APS) district. The school is specifically designed to support students who may benefit from a non-traditional learning environment, offering a flexible academic structure to help those who are off-track for graduation get back on the path to earning their high school diplomas.

The school’s mission centers on personalized instruction and credit recovery, providing a smaller, more focused setting for students who need additional support beyond what a traditional comprehensive high school provides. By emphasizing individualized pace and targeted interventions, Crim High School aims to reduce dropout rates and ensure that every student has the tools and guidance necessary to successfully transition into post-secondary education, vocational training, or the workforce.
