Summary

Timber Ridge Elementary School in Marietta, GA, is a PK–5 school serving 529 students within the Cobb County School District, and it has built a decade-long reputation as one of the state's top-performing elementary schools.

Timber Ridge's math scores are exceptional. In the most recent testing cycle, 81.7% of 3rd graders, 86.5% of 4th graders, and 79.6% of 5th graders scored proficient—roughly 28–30 percentage points above district averages. Only a few nearby schools, such as Mount Bethel Elementary and Tritt Elementary, post comparable math results. The school also stands out for its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 2.1%, far below the district's 14.2% and the state's 17.7%—and the lowest among all comparable schools in the area. Additionally, Timber Ridge ranks 16th out of 465 Georgia elementary schools for special education outcomes, a standout achievement that shows strong results extend across all student groups.

While Timber Ridge remains in the top 5% of Georgia schools (ranked 55th out of 1,219), its recent ranking slipped from a string of top-20 finishes. This shift is not due to declining math scores—those actually held steady or improved—but may reflect changes in ranking methodology or other factors. One area to watch is 5th grade science, where proficiency dropped to 69.4% from 82.8% the prior year, a decline that puts it below nearby Tritt (86.7%) and Mount Bethel (81.7%). Still, with a favorable 13:1 student-teacher ratio, a smaller enrollment than most peers, and per-pupil spending ($16,605) that is mid-range yet delivers top-tier outcomes, Timber Ridge continues to offer an exceptional education in a highly competitive corridor of elite schools.
