Price Middle School utilizes Project GRAD Atlanta. Project GRAD Atlanta seeks to improve the education of low-income, disadvantaged children of inner-city schools and those children with similar challenges, with a concentration on high school graduation with a quality education so that they will remain in and graduate from college.

About Project GRAD Atlanta
Project GRAD Atlanta is a research-based school-community collaborative designed to achieve whole school reform. It is intended to increase student academic performance, high school graduation and college attendance. Project GRAD Atlanta was initiated in 2000 in the nine elementary and two middle schools that feed into the Booker T. Washington High School.

The tutors visit the school once a week, and tutor for 30 minutes. The subjects that they are assisting with are reading and math. Before the tutorial sessions began, the tutors participated in a tutoring workshop, and a Meet and Greet session with the students. Currently we have 20 active tutors and they tutor 18 students.
