Summary

Still Elementary School in Powder Springs, GA, serves approximately 755 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Cobb County School District, and it has earned a reputation as a consistently strong, dependable choice for families.

One of the school's standout achievements is its exceptional chronic absenteeism rate of just 5.9%—dramatically lower than the district average of 14.2% and the state average of 17.7%. This represents a remarkable improvement over the past four years, dropping from 15.9% in 2021-2022. Still Elementary also shines in mathematics, outperforming both district and state averages in every grade level. For example, 3rd graders achieved 64.7% proficiency in math compared to 48.3% statewide. The school is particularly effective for specific student groups, ranking in the 87th percentile statewide for African American students and the 82nd percentile for Hispanic students. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.1:1, the school invests in smaller class sizes, which likely contributes to its strong academic outcomes and high attendance.

Compared to nearby schools, Still Elementary offers an efficient, high-quality education. It spends $17,191 per student—less than Hollydale Elementary ($22,472) and Compton Elementary ($20,218)—yet achieves far better results. While Due West Elementary ranks higher (94th percentile), Still Elementary sits comfortably in the upper-middle range, outperforming several nearby schools. Science proficiency (44.6% in 5th grade) is an area for growth, slightly below the district average. Still, the school's ten-year track record of never ranking below the 74th percentile statewide—maintaining a 4-star rating for nine consecutive years—makes it a reliable, stable option for families seeking a supportive and effective learning environment.

Awesome caring school!! Close Quote

The after school program absolutely is pathetic. It is ran by either women who should have retired about twenty years ago, who after 3 months of school still can not get a kids name correct, or by smart elleck post high schoolers on a power trip that talk down to and belittle the children. They don't go outside. My child has watched the same preschooler movie every day for the last 2 weeks. Seriously? And this is one of Cobb's finest... the teachers and administrators are great, but my blood boils at the utter stupidity of those in charge of the ASP. Close Quote
