Summary

Mableton Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 910 students in grades PK-5 in Mableton, Georgia, which is part of the Cobb County School District. However, the school consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on academic assessments, ranking in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools for the past 10 years.

Mableton Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 81.29% to 89.34% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite spending between $9,400 to $10,200 per student, which is slightly below the Cobb County district average, the school's academic outcomes are significantly worse than the district and state averages. Nearby elementary schools in the Cobb County district, such as Birney, Riverside, City View, Austell, and Clay-Harmony Leland, generally outperform Mableton Elementary on academic measures.

Furthermore, the public charter school Amana Academy West Atlanta, located near Mableton Elementary, significantly outperforms the school and the Cobb County district on academic measures. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and student demographics, may be contributing to Mableton Elementary's underperformance, despite its relatively low student-teacher ratio.

Administration is not together and teachers are afraid of principal. There's a click in the school and if you don't kiss their butts you are out! Their STEAM program is just for show. They love putting on a show for the district even though concepts have not been taught. Curriculum is not rigorous nor challenging. Behavior is off the chain. Students cuss out loud and tell sexual jokes. Their best team is the worst ever. What the principal sells is not what she delivers. Sad Close Quote

STEM certified, Title I school with very passionate teachers. This is my son's third year at Mableton and we debated between here and sending him to a private school. The first year, we got a new teacher who had trouble managing her class. However, the administration was very on top of getting our son paired with a good teacher as soon as we raised concerns. Principal Cain runs a tight ship and we noticed after a few months that we did not see that teacher again. I'm really proud of the progress Mableton has made since we've been there and highly recommend it to any other families who are new to the area. They are implementing a spanish immersion program for kindergartners who encourage bilingual children. My youngest son just started and already knows spanish songs after just a few days. My only criticism is that the school lunch could be healthier, but that's a county issue and not the fault of the school. Breaded chicken, burgers or pizza everyday is not for us. Close Quote

Mableton Elementary is a hiding gem. What most people don't know is that Mableton has a lot academic programs. I've listed a few that my son participated in.

1. STARBASE Program - a hand-on curriculum that emphasizes the application of STEM
2. Reading Club
3. Robotics
4. Lego building
5. Talent and Development
6. Honor Chorus...Just to name a few...

The teachers are very engaging and work really hard for your child and the school's success. I was truly impress with my son's progress at Mableton and was very happy with his Milestone results.

I would highly recommend you don't judge this school on the reviews, you have to take a tour and learn for yourself. You will not be disappointed!!!

Great teachers produce great students. Close Quote
