Summary

City View Elementary School in Mableton, GA, serves approximately 870 students in grades PK–5 as part of the Cobb County School District, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school has shown a slow but steady upward trend over the past decade, moving from the 10th–14th percentile range in the late 2010s to its current ranking of 982nd out of 1,219 Georgia elementary schools (19th percentile, 1-star rating) for the 2025-2026 school year.

The most encouraging story at City View is its dramatic reduction in chronic absenteeism, which has dropped from 33.3% in 2021-2022 to 16.2% in 2025-2026—now below the state average of 17.7% and better than nearby Riverside Elementary (23.2%), Bryant Elementary (18.6%), and Mableton Elementary (17.3%). In math, City View's 4th grade proficiency rate of 32% trails nearby schools like Clay-Harmony Leland Elementary (50.6%) and Bryant (39.4%), while its 5th grade math score of 25% outperforms Riverside (17.3%). The school also shows relative strengths in serving its African American students (39th percentile statewide) and students with disabilities (33rd percentile), though female students rank notably lower than male students (12th vs. 27th percentile).

City View spends $19,693 per student—higher than several nearby schools that outperform it, including Clay-Harmony Leland ($17,413), which serves a similarly high-poverty population yet ranks in the 43rd percentile statewide. This comparison highlights a key opportunity: with a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.3:1 and above-average investment, City View has the resources to improve. The school's 5th grade science scores have also shown volatility, jumping from 6.2% in 2022-2023 to 25% in 2025-2026. While English Language Arts scores for the current year will be released in December, prior-year trends showed gradual improvement in 3rd and 4th grades. Overall, City View is a school in transition, with attendance gains and targeted subgroup successes providing a foundation for future academic growth.
