Summary

Sedalia Park Elementary School is a public elementary school in Marietta, Georgia, serving 583 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Cobb County School District, which is ranked 54th out of 206 districts in the state.

Despite the district's relatively strong performance, Sedalia Park Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the Cobb County and Georgia averages on the Milestones Assessment for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the county and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, Sedalia Park Elementary School has a relatively low statewide ranking, typically falling in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One potential factor contributing to the school's lower academic performance is its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.33% to 65.69% in recent years. This suggests a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds compared to nearby schools, such as East Side Elementary School and Sope Creek Elementary School, which consistently outperform Sedalia Park Elementary School in test scores and statewide rankings. Despite the higher per-student spending at Sedalia Park Elementary School, ranging from $9,754 to $11,856 in recent years, the school has struggled to close the achievement gap with its higher-performing counterparts.

The worst 2016-17 year! We transferred for 2017-18 to another school because of our experience.
Our child was completely bored, not in the least bit challenged academically. He was nearing the end of first grade and his teacher was still teaching kindergarten grade level material. Most Students are tracking far behind where they need to be grade level wise and therefore the students who are academically on track already do not excel because the teachers dedicate all their time to catch up the remaining 95 of their class.

There are constant behavior issues. I have seen students throw chairs at their teachers.

Major attendance issues.

The administration is very strict and not welcoming to parents. No sense of community in the least even when we had made several attempts to get involved. 22 teachers left after the 2016-17 school year. Close Quote

My son had preschool speech lessons at Sedalia Park. We were very pleased with the level of attention that was given for his specific issues and how friendly the teachers and staff are at this school. Close Quote
