Summary

Clay-Harmony Leland Elementary School in Mableton, GA, serves approximately 1,013 students in grades PK–5 as part of the Cobb County School District, a district ranked in the 71st percentile statewide. The school has shown meaningful improvement over the past decade, climbing from the 30th percentile in 2018-2019 to a peak of the 54th percentile in 2023-2024, and currently sits at the 43rd percentile—well above most of its geographic neighbors, including Bryant Elementary School (24th percentile) and Riverside Elementary School (15th percentile).

One of the school's standout strengths is its 4th grade mathematics performance, with a 50.6% proficiency rate that essentially matches the state average (50.1%) and comes close to the district average (56.7%). This is particularly notable given that other grade-level math scores lag the state by 9–15 percentage points. The school also excels in serving its African American students, ranking in the 74th percentile statewide for this subgroup—a 4-star rating that far exceeds the school's overall ranking. Additionally, Clay-Harmony Leland has made consistent progress reducing chronic absenteeism, dropping from 21.4% in 2022-2023 to 15.5% in 2025-2026, which now outperforms the state average (17.7%) and sits close to the district average (14.2%).

Despite serving a student population with significant economic need—96.7% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch—the school achieves better outcomes than nearby schools serving similar demographics. At $17,413 per student, Clay-Harmony Leland spends less than every nearby comparison school except KIPP Soul Primary ($12,843), yet produces superior results. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.7:1 is slightly higher than nearby schools (which range from 10.1 to 12.9), but this does not appear to hinder achievement. While 5th grade science (28.3% proficient) remains a challenge, it still exceeds several neighboring schools. Historical ELA data from 2024-2025 shows the school performing near or above state averages in 4th and 5th grades, with 5th grade ELA reaching 54.5% proficiency in 2023-2024—exceeding both district and state averages. Overall, Clay-Harmony Leland is a school on an upward path, beating the odds in a community where many neighboring schools struggle to reach even the 25th percentile statewide.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, February 16, 2017

This school is behind in every aspect. From the moldy old facility to the disrepective Principal and Vice Principal, The only reason we stayed was because our first and second teachers were probably the best the school has to offer. Kindergarten was a joke with the teacher not being replaced with an actual certified teacher. The scores are absolutely terrible once the Children get to the third grade. The children seem to be a little more rough around the edges and lack of
Parent evolvement is obvious.
The bullying situation we had continually was brushed off with the Principle, she never shows respect to the parents and will always address you as "Mom" or "Dad". The Vice Principle also was very unsympathetic when my child needed help finding the bus, which was always breaking down hence needing help with finding the correct one. They never allow the children to interact at lunch, they turn the lights off and play movies that sound like your in a tin can, would drive any sane child mad! The school feels like a prison. No one seems positive except the hand full of teachers and front office and Janitor. The combination of these major factors caused my child such issues along with the scores, building and faculty we moved out of the area. I believe Mr. Morgan needs to replace the Principles and fight for a better building. These kids are suffering and will never catch up. Night and Day with our new school. Our new Cobb co school sends out weekly emails about what's going on and is very involved in every way. Close Quote
