Summary

Kincaid Elementary School in Marietta, GA, serves approximately 603 students in Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Cobb County School District, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 85th percentile statewide.

Kincaid's standout strength is mathematics. In the most recent testing year, 3rd graders posted a 74.8% proficiency rate—more than 21 points above the district average and 26 points above the state. Fourth and 5th graders also posted strong math scores (74% and 66.4%, respectively), and this pattern has held steady for four years. The school also excels at getting students to class: its chronic absenteeism rate is just 8.0%, less than half the state average of 17.7%, and down from 14.4% just three years ago. Kincaid achieves these results while spending less per student ($17,494) than nearby Nicholson Elementary School ($20,075), which posts significantly lower proficiency rates. Among its Cobb County neighbors, Kincaid sits in the middle tier—behind top performers like Murdock Elementary School (95th percentile) and Mountain View Elementary School (93rd percentile), but ahead of Blackwell Elementary School (51st percentile) and Bells Ferry Elementary School (48th percentile).

Science is Kincaid's most modest area. While 5th grade science proficiency (48.7%) still beats district and state averages, it has dropped from 62.8% two years ago—a 14-point decline worth watching. The school also shows a notable strength with its Hispanic students, ranking in the 87th percentile statewide for that group, which outpaces its overall ranking. Special education students rank at the 55th percentile, suggesting room for growth. Kincaid's state ranking has eased from the 91st percentile in 2021-2022 to the 85th percentile now, and its free/reduced lunch rate has ticked up slightly to 28.69%. Still, with rock-solid math, exceptional attendance, and strong results for a diverse student body, Kincaid remains a reliable, high-performing choice for families in the area.

Teachers are great for the majority, some are not great at all... some counselors are Wonderful but some should not be in the profession and breaks trust of the children. The main leadership is ran in a tyrannical sort of style (from our two years of experience and comments from staff). We took our children out of this counter productive environment. Trust me on this.

Both of my children attend Kincaid and have since Kindergarten (now in 2nd and 5th). The Principal and Asst. Principal are very engaged and effective. The PTA is second to none and has won a national award. We've had great teachers, very devoted to the kids. PE, Art and Music are standouts here as well. The school is one of the smaller ones in Cobb Count and there is really a family feel. Close Quote
