Summary

Tritt Elementary School in Marietta, GA, is a top-performing public school serving 804 students in grades PK through 5 within the Cobb County School District. The school has earned a 5-star rating every year on record and currently ranks 16th out of 1,219 elementary schools statewide—placing it in the 99th percentile and among the top 2% of all Georgia elementary schools for over a decade.

What truly sets Tritt apart is its consistency and strength across multiple subjects. In 5th-grade science, 86.7% of students scored proficient, compared to just 47.1% district-wide and 44.2% statewide—a remarkable 39.6-point advantage. This science score actually exceeds the school's own 5th-grade math proficiency (86.1%), which is unusual and signals a strong STEM focus. Math performance is uniformly high across all grade levels (85.9% in 3rd, 84.3% in 4th, and 86.1% in 5th), a consistency that nearby schools like Mount Bethel Elementary (which drops from 91.5% in 4th to 80.2% in 5th) don't match. Tritt also excels with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 3.7%, far below the district's 14.2% and state's 17.7%, and it has improved steadily from 8.9% in 2021-2022.

Notably, Tritt achieves these results while spending less per student ($16,345) than several peers like Shallowford Falls Elementary ($18,705) and Rocky Mount Elementary ($16,959). The school also ranks in the 97th percentile or higher for female, male, White, and Special Education students—with its Special Education program ranking 15th statewide. While nearby schools like Timber Ridge Elementary have seen rankings fluctuate (dropping from 8th to 55th in one year), Tritt has never fallen below 22nd place in the last five years, demonstrating exceptional stability and leadership.

Open Quote I just love our school!! The staff is amazing, the school is just so welcoming, and the parent involvement is phenomenal. On top of that, the number and quality of the after school enrichment programs is tremendous. We feel very blessed to have one daughter attending this school and another joining it next year. I feel that they will have such a wonderful educational foundation here and I am so grateful for it. The teachers and staff genuinely care for the kids and you can see how happy the children are when you walk through the school. Can't recommend it enough.
