Summary

Timber Ridge Elementary School is a top-performing public elementary school in Marietta, Georgia, serving 510 students in grades PK-5. Part of the Cobb County School District, which is ranked 54th out of 206 school districts in the state, Timber Ridge has consistently been one of the highest-achieving elementary schools in Georgia, ranking 18th out of 1,238 schools in the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Timber Ridge Elementary School's academic performance is exceptional, with proficiency rates ranging from 76.2% to 87.8% across different grade levels and subject areas, significantly outpacing the Cobb County and Georgia state averages. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.9 to 12.9 students per teacher, suggests a more personalized learning environment compared to nearby schools like Shallowford Falls Elementary, Murdock Elementary, Tritt Elementary, and East Side Elementary, all of which also perform well but do not match Timber Ridge's exceptional results.

While Timber Ridge Elementary School's performance is exceptional, the school's low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 3.76% to 6.08%, suggests that it serves a relatively affluent student population. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's high academic performance, but the district and school leadership may need to consider strategies to attract a more diverse student population and provide additional support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds to ensure equity and inclusivity within the school community.
