2025-2030 Strategic Plan for Atlanta Public Schools
Back to the Basics 2030 is the result of deep listening, honest dialogue, and shared commitment from every part of the Atlanta Public Schools community. Over the past year, we’ve engaged thousands of voices — students, families, educators, school leaders, staff, alumni, partners, and neighborhood advocates — all united around one belief: every child in Atlanta deserves a strong foundation and expansive opportunities.
Schools are the anchor of thriving communities, and Back to the Basics 2030 is designed to strengthen that foundation. This plan elevates rigorous instruction, ensures equitable access to advanced learning opportunities, and deepens our investment in student well-being — all to ensure that every APS student, in every school, has the tools, experiences, and support needed to pursue a future full of possibility.
We are a Community of Believers getting Back to the Basics!
