David T Howard Middle School

David T. Howard Middle School sits in the Old Fourth Ward neighborhood of Atlanta, a historically rich and rapidly evolving area that blends Civil Rights-era significance with vibrant restaurants, BeltLine access, and a strong sense of community pride. Academically, it's one of the top middle schools in the state, with particularly strong English and math performance that will appeal to families looking for a rigorous public school experience without leaving the city. It's a great fit for families who want an urban lifestyle — walkable, culturally rich, and connected — while still giving their kids a genuinely competitive academic foundation heading into high school.
