Resurgence Hall

What Resurgence Hall does

Resurgence Hall is a tuition-free K-8 public charter school operating two campuses in East Point, Georgia (Metro Atlanta): Resurgence Hall Primary Academy (K-4) at 1706 Washington Road and Resurgence Hall Middle Academy (5-8) at 2948 Church Street. Founded in 2016 by Tori Jackson Hines and opened in 2017, the school serves a diverse scholar population drawn primarily from Metro Atlanta, with the Middle Academy operating under a statewide attendance zone. Academically, the school runs a blended learning model with 85 minutes daily of personalized literacy and mathematics instruction rotating between computer stations and teacher-led time, anchored by a proprietary two-teacher literacy model in primary grades, computer science starting in Kindergarten (the first such program in a Georgia public school), and a school-wide Design Thinking curriculum. The RISE to LEAD character framework, extended school day/year structure (positioned as 11 years of content in 9), and comprehensive arts and tryout-based athletics programming differentiate the offering against both district and charter peers.

The school is structured as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 47-5263223) and is funded primarily through Georgia per-pupil charter funding and federal Title I dollars, supplemented by private philanthropy and an Annual Giving Campaign. Cumulative private fundraising reached over $5 million within four years of founding, and in 2019 the school received a $6 million investment from Civic Builders to purchase and renovate its East Point campus — the first such investment by Civic Builders in a Black-founded, female-founded school. Outcome data positions Resurgence Hall in the top 5% of Georgia public schools, with a CCRPI score of 93.4 earning the #1 ranking among state charter schools in 2019 and sustained Title I Distinguished School, GaDOE Literacy Leader, and GaDOE Math Leader designations across multiple years through 2025.

Commercially, Resurgence Hall is a direct-to-consumer public school with no tuition revenue. Enrollment runs on a lottery basis through the SchoolMint platform during an October-to-February open enrollment window, with paper applications as an alternative; applications have historically exceeded available seats. The technology stack supporting operations includes SchoolMint (enrollment), Canvas/Instructure (middle school LMS), Illuminate Education (assessments), DeansList (family portal and culture tracking), Clever (single sign-on across adaptive edtech tools), Sports Connect (athletics), and Procare (aftercare payments). The leadership team is small (~40 employees organization-wide) and led by the founder as Executive Director, with directors overseeing operations, culture/instruction, and scholar supports across both campuses.
