Summary

Sprayberry High School is a public high school located in Marietta, Georgia, serving 1,799 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Cobb County School District. The school has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking between the 64th and 106th position among Georgia high schools over the past several years.

Sprayberry High School's performance is noteworthy, with strong graduation rates ranging from 84.4% to 90.8% and competitive test scores that outperform the Cobb County and Georgia state averages in several subject areas, such as United States History and Biology. However, when compared to nearby high-performing schools like Walton High School and Lassiter High School, Sprayberry's test scores are generally lower, particularly in subjects like American Literature and Composition, Algebra I, and Biology.

The relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Sprayberry High School, ranging from 35.99% to 49.86%, suggests that the school serves a more economically disadvantaged population compared to some of the nearby high-performing schools. This may be a factor in the school's slightly lower test scores compared to its higher-performing counterparts. Overall, Sprayberry High School appears to be providing a quality education to its diverse student population, maintaining a consistent 4-star rating and strong graduation rates.

Great school, great diversity! I have sent two kids through there and it is the best school in the area. It allowed my kid to excel and in both academics and athletics when it might have been tougher at some of the schools closer by! Housing is also more affordable in the Sprayberry area compared to East Cobb. Close Quote

This is my son's freshman year at SHS and we love it. I have a Master's Degree, my husband has a bachelor's so education is important to us. So far we have been very pleased and he loves high school. The block schedule (4 classes a semester) has been terrific for him, easier to manage than 7 classes. The upside of the block schedule is the kids get to explore different academic and elective classes and graduate with 4 classes beyond what is required. We have been very impressed with his teachers and the involvement of the principal. We have become active in the PTSA. We've looking forward to the next three years and would encourage others in East Cobb to join us at SHS. Close Quote
