Summary

Acworth Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 2-5 in Acworth, Georgia, with 505 students. The school is part of the Cobb County School District, which is ranked 54 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Acworth Intermediate School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.8, its academic performance is generally lower than the Cobb County and Georgia averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 36.6%, compared to 43.2% for Cobb County and 34.9% for Georgia. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past 10 years, from 547 out of 1,209 Georgia elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 495 out of 1,238 in 2024-2025, and its star rating has dropped from 3 stars to 2 stars during this period.

One potential factor contributing to the school's lower academic performance is its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 75.84% in 2023-2024. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools, which range from 31.39% to 69.03% free/reduced lunch. Additionally, Acworth Intermediate School spends $10,904 per student, which is lower than the spending at most nearby schools, which range from $9,222 to $15,116 per student. While the school is performing better than Oak Grove Elementary School in the neighboring Cherokee County district, addressing the challenges of lower funding and higher poverty rates could be crucial for improving student outcomes at Acworth Intermediate School.
