Summary

Campbell Middle School is a public middle school located in Smyrna, Georgia, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,257 students. It is part of the Cobb County School District, which is ranked 54th out of 206 school districts in Georgia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Campbell Middle School consistently performs above the Cobb County and Georgia state averages in Milestones Assessments, particularly in Algebra I, where the school's proficiency rate is around 98% compared to 54.9% for Cobb County and 44.9% for Georgia. However, the school's performance in Science and Social Studies is significantly lower than the Cobb County and Georgia averages. The school's relatively high free and reduced lunch rate, ranging from 55.32% to 60.46% in recent years, suggests a need to address the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population, which may be contributing to the lower performance in certain subject areas.

When compared to nearby schools, Campbell Middle School generally outperforms the other Cobb County middle schools, such as East Cobb Middle School, Floyd Middle School, and Lindley Middle School, in academic performance, particularly in Algebra I and English Language Arts. However, the nearby Griffin Middle School, which is only 1.73 miles away, also performs well and is ranked higher than Campbell Middle School in the state. When compared to schools in the Atlanta Public Schools district, such as Willis A. Sutton Middle School, Campbell Middle School's academic performance is significantly higher, especially in Mathematics and Science.

Campbell used to be a good school but now it’s very chaotic. There are fights all the time now and only some kids have to follow the rules. The principal is rude and told the kids over the announcements that they should fight each other outside of school. When my son came home and told me that, I didn’t believe him, but I asked around and it really happened. It’s a shame bc that school was on a good path. I’ll be trying to place my student somewhere else in the near future. Close Quote

My son went through all three years here. Outstanding staff and teachers. During his years there, not only did they have the Cobb County Teacher of the Year; but also, the science state teacher and other accomplished staff. The International Baccalaureate Program is geared so that everyone receives a world perspective of not only what happens in Georgia or the US but how that impacts things globally. Teachers even host a Saturday program if students need extra help. There are lots of kids who attend as well. That shows dedication for each student to succeed when you see smiles on faces even on Saturday. The school clubs placed at State in Science Olympiad and also in History Day plus Math Bowl. My son is very prepared for his high school career and a path in engineering due to Campbell Middle. Close Quote

My son goes to this school for 2 years now (he is currently 7th grade). I am sure the school overall, facilities, some of the teachers and a few of the staff are good. The 2 women in the front office are HORRID. they are rude and very unapproachable. That also goes for the one of the administrative assistants. She walks around the school with her nose up and treats everyone like she is better than everyone else. I have encountered a few good teachers, and some really bad ones. Some of them treat the students that are not perfect like they are wasting their time. I will be withdrawing my son at the end of this year to take to a school not in my district. Campbell MS 2 thumbs down! Close Quote
