Summary

Bullard Elementary School in Kennesaw, GA, serves about 799 students in Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Cobb County School District, and it has held a solid 4-star rating for the past decade, ranking in the 73rd percentile statewide for 2025-2026.

For parents, the most reassuring news is that Bullard is a dependable, above-average school. Its standout strength is 4th grade math, where 65.4% of students scored proficient in 2025-2026—well above the district (56.7%) and state (50.1%) averages. This has been a consistent bright spot for three years running. 5th grade science also shines at 51.4% proficiency, beating both district and state marks. Another major plus: chronic absenteeism is remarkably low at just 9.0%, compared to 14.2% for the district and 17.7% statewide. That means kids are in class and ready to learn, which likely supports the school’s stability. While 5th grade math has historically lagged behind 4th grade, it has improved dramatically—from 31.3% proficiency in 2022-2023 to 51% in 2025-2026—so the school is clearly working on closing that gap.

Compared to nearby schools, Bullard sits in a middle-to-upper tier. Its closest neighbors, Hayes Elementary (56th percentile) and Lewis Elementary (64th percentile), rank lower, making Bullard a strong local option. However, Due West Elementary (94th percentile) and Ford Elementary (86th percentile) outperform Bullard in math, though they also serve more affluent populations. Bullard’s per-student spending ($17,835) is higher than both of those schools, yet they achieve better results—something to consider if resource efficiency matters to you. Overall, Bullard offers strong academics, excellent attendance, and a supportive environment, making it a reliable choice for families in the Kennesaw area.

In response to the principal comment from 2011, Bullard has a new principal. Dr. Moore began working at Bullard in 2012. She is wonderful, and our school is even better. Close Quote

The school would be slot better if it weren't for the Principal who has no interest in the students and has been protected by the outgoing Superintendent. Close Quote
