|---|---|---|
| Pope | 97.1 | 98.2% |
| Lassiter | 95.4 | 97.3% |
| Walton | 94.7 | 97.9% |
| Kell | 90.3 | 93.8% |

Source: the state’s 2025 School Grades data file (ZIP), covering the 2024-25 school year. Each school’s full report card, including elementary and middle schools, is on the state’s School Grades Reports site. The district had 112,671 students in that data.
A CCRPI score is one measure. It does not capture class sizes, programs or how a school fits a particular child; visit and ask.
The Board of Education
Seven members, each elected from a numbered post, sit on the Cobb County Board of Education. The district lists them as Randy Scamihorn (Post 1), Becky Sayler (Post 2), Leroy Tre’ Hutchins (Post 3), David Chastain (Post 4), John Cristadoro (Post 5), Nichelle Davis (Post 6) and Brad Wheeler (Post 7). Find your post on the district’s board page, which links the post map, the meeting schedule and the sign-up for public comment.
Enrolling a new student
New students enroll online through the district’s enrollment page, which has the documents list and registration help. Confirm your zoned school with the attendance zone lookup before you sign a lease or contract: a street can sit on one side of a zone line and the house across the road on the other.
