Summary

Campbell High School in Smyrna, GA, is a large comprehensive public high school serving 3,085 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Cobb County School District. The school holds a 3-star statewide ranking (66th percentile) for 2025–2026, a slight dip from last year's 4-star rating, but has remained remarkably stable over the past decade—never falling below the 49th percentile even during pandemic disruptions.

Campbell's most notable strengths lie in specific student groups. The school ranks in the top 10% statewide (90th percentile, 5 stars) for its work with White students—a standout achievement no nearby school matches. It also earns 4 stars for its support of special education students (80th percentile) and African American students (74th percentile). Academically, Campbell exceeds state averages in Biology (51% proficient vs. 47.2% statewide) and U.S. History (46.1% vs. 38.5% statewide), though Algebra I proficiency (37.2%) trails the district average by more than 22 points. The graduation rate of 86.9% is just below the state average but has stayed remarkably consistent between 86.5% and 88.6% for five straight years—better than nearby Pebblebrook High School (75.7%) and Osborne High School (78.9%).

Chronic absenteeism (20.7%) remains a challenge, though it has improved steadily from 28.2% four years ago and is better than most neighboring schools, including South Cobb High School (26.9%) and Cobb Horizon High School (48.3%). Notably, Campbell achieves these results while spending less per student ($13,029) than several peers that spend more, including Wheeler High School ($13,905) and Riverwood International Charter School ($15,815). The school's consistency, efficient spending, and strong subgroup support make it a solid choice for families seeking a stable, diverse high school experience.

Open Quote I was apart of the IB programs and I’ve experienced a system quite so broken. The racism that goes unchecked was shocking to me as a student. That was my for at real introduction to institutionalize racism and how each teacher continues to propagate it. Close Quote
