Summary

Brumby Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Marietta, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 1,026 students. The school is part of the Cobb County School District, which is ranked 54 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratio, Brumby Elementary School consistently performs below the Cobb County and Georgia state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 15.2% to 22.4%, compared to 43.2% to 49% for Cobb County and 34.9% to 43% for Georgia. The school's performance in Mathematics and Science follows a similar pattern, with proficiency rates significantly lower than the district and state. Additionally, Brumby Elementary School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 70.5% to 78.56% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Mount Bethel Elementary (7.83%) and Sope Creek Elementary (11.57%).

The consistent underperformance of Brumby Elementary School, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years, suggests that the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, despite the additional resources and relatively low student-teacher ratio. The nearby schools, such as Mount Bethel Elementary, East Side Elementary, and Sope Creek Elementary, significantly outperform Brumby Elementary School in academic achievement, with much higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

This school has some serious issues. In second grade, the use of profanity is widespread. There is little to no communication with the parents and my 2 smart kids are being dragged down by it. I've never really wanted private schools as I never had one but after this experience, we are actively looking to get the heck out. Close Quote

This school rates one of the lowest in Cobb. I can see why. My son had one of the most disorganized flighty teachers I've ever met. None of my wife nor my request for the teacher to contact us about his school work was answered. Also the school gender separates the kids from 3rd grade on. Very bad idea when the teacher can't even keep her things straight to control a room full of boys. Can't wait to move to a new district. Close Quote

This school is horrible. Communication to parents is non existent, most of the office staff are not helpful or organized. My son is not challenged at all and constantly tells me they are still teaching things he already learned in the 3rd grade before we moved to Marietta. In the 2 years he has attended (4th & 5th grade) he has not done any big projects, they have not had any science fairs and very few educational events, yet they make sure they have movie nights and skate nights every few weeks. I can not wait for this year to be over. Close Quote
