Summary

Addison Elementary School in Marietta, GA, is a well-regarded public school in the Cobb County School District, serving 571 students in Pre-K through 5th grade and earning a 4-star rating that places it in the top 15% of elementary schools statewide.

Addison’s standout strength is its 5th-grade science program, where 85.9% of students scored proficient or above in the most recent testing year—a remarkable 38.8 percentage points above the district average and 41.7 points above the state average. This score is the highest among all nearby schools, surpassing even top-ranked Murdock Elementary School and Mountain View Elementary School (both at 78.6%). Mathematics is also a consistent strength, with 5th-grade math proficiency at 76.1%, exceeding the district by 23.3 points and the state by 32 points. The school is particularly effective with its Hispanic students, ranking in the 86th percentile statewide for that subgroup, and with female students, where it ranks in the 92nd percentile. Addison also excels at attendance: its chronic absenteeism rate has dropped from 19.0% in 2021-2022 to just 8.3%—less than half the state average of 17.7%.

Compared to nearby schools, Addison outperforms Bells Ferry Elementary School, Blackwell Elementary School, and Nicholson Elementary School, while trailing the very top-tier schools like Shallowford Falls Elementary School and Rocky Mount Elementary School. Notably, Addison achieves these results with a higher percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch (33.6%) than those higher-ranked neighbors, and its per-student spending of $17,832 is moderate—less than Keheley Elementary School ($20,881) but more than Murdock ($15,839). While the 5th-grade science score may reflect a particularly strong cohort, Addison’s overall pattern of strong STEM performance, improving attendance, and efficient resource use makes it a solid choice for families seeking a well-rounded elementary education.
