King Middle School + Jackson High School Residency Review
Atlanta Public Schools is in the process of conducting an annual review of enrollments and capacities to identify and address overcrowding at schools. Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School (King MS) and Maynard Jackson High School (Jackson HS) were identified as two of the schools currently over 100% utilization.
As a part of implementing solutions to overcrowding, we are undertaking a residency review to ensure that only students legitimately residing in the King MS/Jackson HS attendance zone are enrolled. The residency review will evaluate residency information for the following students:
Current 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students attending King MS for SY2025-2026; OR
Rising 6th graders and new students zoned to attend King MS beginning SY2025-2026; OR
Rising 9th graders and new students zoned to attend Jackson HS beginning SY2025-2026
Note: Some parents may have recently provided proof of residency for the registration process. We appreciate this, but require that you provide updated documents again for this residency review verification process.
Only families that received direct notification are impacted by the residency review.
