Summary

Green Acres Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Smyrna, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 557 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 the school's relatively high per-student spending, Green Acres Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools, with academic performance significantly below the Cobb County and Georgia state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 11.8% of 3rd graders at Green Acres were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 43.2% in Cobb County and 34.9% statewide. The school's performance also lags behind nearby Smyrna Elementary School, which had significantly higher proficiency rates in 2024-2025.

The school's high poverty rate, with 91.02% to 97.67% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years, is likely a contributing factor to its academic struggles. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio has increased from 12 in 2021-2022 to 9.6 in 2023-2024, suggesting a potential decrease in resources and support per student. While the reasons for Green Acres' consistent underperformance are complex, addressing the socioeconomic challenges and ensuring effective resource allocation will be crucial to improving educational outcomes for its students.
