Summary

Rocky Mount Elementary School in Marietta, GA, serves 576 students in Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Cobb County School District, ranking in the 89th percentile statewide with a 4-star rating.

Rocky Mount stands out most dramatically for its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 3.9%—far below the district average of 14.2% and the state average of 17.7%. This isn't a one-year fluke; the school has steadily improved from 14.3% in 2021-2022 to its current rate, showing a sustained commitment to getting kids to school. In mathematics, Rocky Mount posts strong results across all grade levels, with 3rd graders hitting 82.5% proficiency (compared to 53.6% district and 48.3% state averages), 4th graders at 71.9%, and 5th graders at 65%. The school also serves a relatively affluent population, with only 16.84% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch—a stark contrast to nearby Blackwell Elementary (53.62%) and Nicholson Elementary (44.55%).

Rocky Mount sits in a highly competitive cluster of excellent schools, including Murdock Elementary (95th percentile) and Davis Elementary (93rd percentile). While its statewide ranking has slipped slightly from a peak of 72nd in 2021-2022 to 138th currently, its absolute scores remain strong. One area for growth is 5th grade science (60.1% proficiency), where several neighbors like Addison Elementary (85.9%) and Garrison Mill Elementary (76.6%) outperform it. The school also achieves strong results efficiently, spending $16,959 per student—less than several lower-performing nearby schools. With excellent attendance, strong math scores, and equitable outcomes across student groups, Rocky Mount remains a top-tier choice for families in the area.
