Summary

Belmont Hills Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Smyrna, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 276 students. The school is part of the Cobb County School District, which is ranked 54th out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Belmont Hills Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools, with a ranking between 803 and 997 out of 1,238-1,248 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on the Milestones Assessment is significantly lower than the Cobb County and Georgia averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 17.9% of 3rd graders at Belmont Hills were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 43.2% in Cobb County and 34.9% statewide. This stark contrast in academic performance is also evident when compared to nearby schools like King Springs Elementary and Smyrna Elementary, which are performing much better on the Milestones Assessment.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $13,804 to $14,666 over the past few years, and a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.3 to 7.8, Belmont Hills Elementary School is not seeing the expected improvements in academic performance. This suggests that factors beyond just socioeconomic status, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and instructional practices, may be contributing to the persistent challenges the school is facing. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that focuses on improving instructional practices, professional development for teachers, and targeted interventions for struggling students.

The worst leadership Principal and assistant principal, No communication at all with the parents or student and you never find them if you want to schedule meeting with them always out of school a specially the assistant principal "Haroldeen Swearinge "
