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.

Currently two of our business partners (Metro
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and Cingular Wireless) are providing
tutors for our tutorial program. 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.
