Summary

Lewis Elementary School in Kennesaw, GA, serves about 550 students in Pre-K through 5th grade within the Cobb County School District, and it currently holds a solid mid-tier 3-star rating (64th percentile statewide) after a slight dip from last year’s 4-star performance.

If you’re looking at Lewis, the most striking pattern is in math. The school has a genuine, consistent strength in 4th grade: in 2025-2026, 63.1% of 4th graders were proficient in math, well above the district (56.7%) and state (50.1%) averages—and this advantage has held for three straight years. However, 3rd-grade math tells a different story, with only 39.4% proficient this year, a 14-point gap below the district average. That’s a big swing between grade levels, and it suggests the 4th-grade math program is doing something right while 3rd-grade may need extra support. Science in 5th grade is also a weak spot, with 40.5% proficient versus 47.1% in the district. On the positive side, chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically—from 19.8% in 2021-2022 to 10.3% now—and the school’s student-teacher ratio (11.8:1) is favorable. The school also earns its highest star rating (4 stars) for African American students, a notable bright spot.

Compared to nearby schools, Lewis sits in a competitive cluster. Its closest neighbor, Bullard Elementary (1.26 miles away), ranks higher (73rd percentile), and Frey Elementary (81st percentile) also outperforms it. However, Lewis does beat Hayes Elementary (56th percentile). Interestingly, Lewis spends more per student ($18,607) than several higher-performing neighbors like Pickett's Mill ($16,408) and Due West ($16,269), so resources aren’t the issue—it’s more about how they’re used. Overall, Lewis is a stable, predictable school with a clear math strength in 4th grade, but families should ask about 3rd-grade math and 5th-grade science support if considering enrollment.

This is a fantastic school! I think the rating on this site is totally biased. My son is special needs and goes here. I refuse to move because I love this school so much. The staff is supremely dedicated! I have been nothing but impressed. It is clean, multicultural, focused, respectful and provides a nurturing environment for children to learn. Nothing but impressed!
