	Atlanta Public Schools (APS) is one of the largest districts in the state of Georgia, serving approximately 50,000 students in 103 learning facilities throughout the city of Atlanta. APS schools are organized into nine K-12 clusters which provide a quality education for our students. The cluster model provides greater access to a more equitable distribution of resources and multiple layers of support.
	
	APS has adopted Common Core Georgia Performance Standards (CCG PS), which outline high expectations
	for what students should know in the 21st century and make the district part of the nation-wide initiative to
	standardize instruction.
