Summary

Shallowford Falls Elementary School in Marietta, GA, serves 591 students in Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Cobb County School District, ranking in the top 10% of Georgia elementary schools with a 5-star rating.

This school stands out for its exceptional mathematics achievement. In the most recent school year, 3rd graders posted an 85.3% math proficiency rate—roughly 32 percentage points above the district average and 37 points above the state. While math proficiency declines somewhat in 4th and 5th grades (76.7% and 64.5%, respectively), these figures still dramatically exceed district and state averages. The school also shines in supporting students with special needs, ranking in the 95th percentile statewide for special education outcomes—a remarkable strength. Perhaps most striking is the school's chronic absenteeism rate of just 4.9%, less than one-third of the district average (14.2%) and far below the state rate (17.7%). This consistent attendance, paired with a favorable 11.1:1 student-teacher ratio, creates a strong foundation for learning.

Shallowford Falls sits in a highly competitive cluster of schools. Within a few miles, you'll find elite performers like Tritt Elementary (99th percentile) and Timber Ridge Elementary (95th percentile), while Davis Elementary (93rd percentile) and Garrison Mill Elementary (91st percentile) are close neighbors. The school's ranking has dipped slightly in recent years—from a peak of 95th percentile in 2022-2023 to 91st percentile now—but it remains firmly in the top tier. The student population has also become more economically diverse, with free/reduced lunch eligibility nearly doubling to 14.7%, yet academic outcomes have held strong. While per-student spending ($18,705) runs higher than some higher-ranked neighbors, the school's exceptional attendance, special education support, and consistent math performance make it a reliable choice for families seeking a well-rounded, high-achieving elementary experience.

great school! Close Quote

My oldest son went there about 15 years ago and it was the best school ever other than a few over the top snotty women who worked there. Now my younger children go there and it has the worst staff you could ever imagine they're there simply to get a paycheck not to teach your children they're very rude and inconsiderate they think everybody should stop what they're doing and be on their schedule and fork out every bit of money to them and if you don't then you're not like them to school. They do not have the child interest at heart at all it's all about what they can do for them to make them look better. There is one or two teachers there that are even worth having. Close Quote
