The Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School (ANCS) is a K-8 charter school with two campuses formed by the merger of two successful charter schools that have been operating in the Grant Park/Ormewood Park neighborhood over the past decade. Neighborhood Charter School (NCS) opened in 2002 serving kindergarten through fifth-grade students. Atlanta Charter Middle School (ACMS) opened in 2005 serving sixth- through eighth-grade students.
Both schools stood as centers of community education excellence in southeast Atlanta, gaining recognition from the Georgia Department of Education and the Governor’s Office of Student Achievement for outstanding student performance on state assessments. The merger of these two schools establishes a framework for sharing resources between the former ACMS and NCS, while jointly pursuing a common goal of continuing to provide an innovative small school alternative within the Atlanta Public Schools that actively involves families from the diverse neighborhoods of southeast Atlanta.
