Summary

LaBelle Elementary School in Marietta, GA, serves approximately 339 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Cobb County school district, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

LaBelle stands out for its strong investment in student support. The school spends $24,614 per student—about $4,000–$5,000 more than nearby Russell Elementary, Fair Oaks Elementary, Birney Elementary, and Norton Park Elementary—and maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 8.8:1, second only to Belmont Hills Elementary (8.0:1) among its peers. This means smaller class sizes and more individualized attention. One of the school's most encouraging trends is chronic absenteeism, which has dropped dramatically from 25.7% in 2021-2022 to 13.4% today—now below both the district average (14.2%) and state average (17.7%), and better than several nearby schools like Russell (18.2%) and Norton Park (20.1%).

Academically, LaBelle shows real progress in math, with 3rd grade proficiency jumping from 21.4% to 33.4% and 5th grade from 28.3% to 34.4% in the latest results. The school also outperforms International Academy of Smyrna in 3rd and 5th grade math. Science remains a challenge at 25.9% proficiency, though it has more than doubled from 11.5% in 2022-2023. The school's overall ranking has improved from the 22nd to 27th percentile statewide. While LaBelle still trails district averages by about 20 points in most subjects, the combination of rising attendance, improving math scores, and heavy resource investment suggests a school actively working to turn things around. Parents considering LaBelle should note that English Language Arts scores from the most recent release will be available in December, and the school serves a high-need population that may require additional support at home.
