Who attends

Maxwell has no attendance zone and no students of its own in the state’s School Grades data. It “provides half day programs that prepare students to enter the service industry or a post-secondary institution” through career, technical and agricultural education, according to its programs page. Students from all GCPS high schools may earn three concentrated units of credit in a Georgia Department of Education career pathway by completing a Maxwell program, and some programs carry embedded academic credit. GCPS provides bus transportation from each high school to Maxwell; student drivers can buy a parking pass.

Because students stay enrolled at their home high schools, Maxwell has no CCRPI score, enrollment or graduation rate of its own in the state’s data. Its campus is next door to GSMST on McElvaney Lane, in the district’s career and technical education group instead of a cluster.
