Summary

Campbell Middle School in Smyrna, GA, serves approximately 1,368 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Cobb County School District. The school currently holds a 2-star rating, ranking in the 42nd percentile statewide—a modest dip from last year’s 3-star, 52nd-percentile performance.

The standout strength at Campbell is its Algebra I program. An impressive 92% of students scored proficient or better on the Algebra I End of Course assessment, far outpacing the district (59.4%) and state (48.1%). This has been a consistent pattern for several years, rivaling nearby Griffin Middle School’s 100% proficiency rate. However, grade-level math tells a different story: only about 34% of Campbell students are proficient in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade math, compared to district averages in the high 40s and 50s. The school also shows notable strengths for White students (72nd percentile) and Special Education students (68th percentile), while Hispanic students rank in the 12th percentile—a clear area for targeted support. Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, dropping from 23.9% in 2021-2022 to 13.7% now, which is below the state average of 17.7%.

Science and social studies remain challenges. Only 20.8% of 8th graders are proficient in science (district: 35.8%) and 23.5% in social studies (district: 52.3%). Compared to Griffin Middle School—just 1.7 miles away with similar demographics—Campbell trails significantly in these areas, though it outperforms Floyd Middle School, Betty Gray Middle School, and Pearson Middle School. Campbell spends $13,568 per student—less than most nearby schools—and has a higher student-teacher ratio (16.7) than peers like Floyd (14.0) or Lindley (13.5). For parents, this means a school with exceptional advanced math opportunities, improving attendance, and clear areas—especially grade-level math, science, and social studies—where additional support could make a big difference.

Campbell used to be a good school but now it’s very chaotic. There are fights all the time now and only some kids have to follow the rules. The principal is rude and told the kids over the announcements that they should fight each other outside of school. When my son came home and told me that, I didn’t believe him, but I asked around and it really happened. It’s a shame bc that school was on a good path. I’ll be trying to place my student somewhere else in the near future. Close Quote

My son went through all three years here. Outstanding staff and teachers. During his years there, not only did they have the Cobb County Teacher of the Year; but also, the science state teacher and other accomplished staff. The International Baccalaureate Program is geared so that everyone receives a world perspective of not only what happens in Georgia or the US but how that impacts things globally. Teachers even host a Saturday program if students need extra help. There are lots of kids who attend as well. That shows dedication for each student to succeed when you see smiles on faces even on Saturday. The school clubs placed at State in Science Olympiad and also in History Day plus Math Bowl. My son is very prepared for his high school career and a path in engineering due to Campbell Middle. Close Quote

My son goes to this school for 2 years now (he is currently 7th grade). I am sure the school overall, facilities, some of the teachers and a few of the staff are good. The 2 women in the front office are HORRID. they are rude and very unapproachable. That also goes for the one of the administrative assistants. She walks around the school with her nose up and treats everyone like she is better than everyone else. I have encountered a few good teachers, and some really bad ones. Some of them treat the students that are not perfect like they are wasting their time. I will be withdrawing my son at the end of this year to take to a school not in my district. Campbell MS 2 thumbs down! Close Quote
