George Washington Carver High School is included in that plan and will transition to a districtwide 6–12 school of the arts and a 9–12 early college high school.
To prepare, the Carver STEAM Academy will not enroll a first-year class for the upcoming school year.
Rising 9th graders who were set to attend the academy now have the option to enroll in Carver Early College for the 2026-2027 school year. All Carver STEAM rising 9th graders can also enroll during the open enrollment period, which is now open through March 13.
Enrollment and transfer information is available through the Atlanta Public Schools website.
