Summary:
The city of Mableton, Georgia is home to 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school. The schools in this area serve a diverse student population, with many students coming from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Among the standout schools in Mableton is Amana Academy West Atlanta, a public charter elementary/middle school that consistently ranks in the top 25% of Georgia elementary schools. This school has significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the Cobb County and Georgia averages. Another high-performing school is Pebblebrook High School, which has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 85.4%.
However, many of the schools in Mableton struggle with lower academic performance compared to county and state averages, particularly in the elementary and middle school levels. This is likely due to the high poverty levels in the area, with most schools having 77% to 96% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, there are significant funding disparities, with spending per student ranging from $8,532 at Pebblebrook High School to $13,962 at Riverside Elementary School. Despite these challenges, schools like Clay-Harmony Leland Elementary School are able to achieve better results, indicating that there may be opportunities to learn from their practices and strategies to improve performance across all schools in the Mableton area.
