Summary

McClure Middle School in Kennesaw, GA, serves 1,030 students in grades 6-8 within the Cobb County School District and is currently ranked 22nd out of 578 middle schools statewide—a significant jump from 55th last year and its best ranking in a decade.

McClure stands out most for its exceptional math and science results. In 8th grade math, 75.6% of students scored proficient, compared to roughly 46% district-wide and 46% statewide. The school also posted a perfect 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I End of Course exam for the third time in four years—matching nearby schools like Lost Mountain Middle School and Durham Middle School, but with a larger student body. In 8th grade science, McClure’s 53.7% proficiency rate is nearly double the state average (29.7%) and trails only Lovinggood Middle School (61.4%) and Crossroads Middle School (57.5%) among nearby peers. Social studies is also a strength, with 71.3% proficient versus 40.2% statewide.

What makes McClure particularly impressive is how efficiently it achieves these results. Its per-student spending of $14,773 is actually lower than several lower-performing nearby schools—Awtrey Middle School spends $17,900 per student yet ranks 221st, and Pine Mountain Middle School spends $17,427 but ranks 199th. McClure also boasts a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 8.7%, down from 18.4% just four years ago and less than half the state average (17.7%). The school performs strongly across all student subgroups, ranking in the 98th percentile statewide for African American students and 94th for special education students. With a 5-star rating and consistent top-10% performance for nine of the past ten years, McClure is a standout choice in a competitive cluster of northwest Cobb County schools.
