Summary

LaBelle Elementary School is a public elementary school in Marietta, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 356 students. The school is part of the Cobb County School District, which is ranked 54th out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, LaBelle Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the Cobb County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessment for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of 5th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts was 30.4% at LaBelle, compared to 49% in Cobb County and 43% statewide. The school has been ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools for the past several years and maintains a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state.

One potential factor contributing to LaBelle Elementary's underperformance is its exceptionally high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 89.01% to 97.47% over the past few years. This is significantly higher than the district and state averages, suggesting a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.8 to 9.7 students per teacher, could be an asset that has not yet translated into improved academic outcomes. When compared to nearby schools in the Cobb County district, such as Russell Elementary, Fair Oaks Elementary, and Birney Elementary, which generally perform better on the Milestones Assessments and have higher school rankings and ratings, it is clear that LaBelle Elementary is an outlier in terms of academic performance.
