Summary

Betty Gray Middle School in Mableton, GA, serves 702 students in grades 6–8 as part of the Cobb County School District, a district ranked in the 71st percentile statewide. The school has held a steady state ranking in the 35th–37th percentile over the past three years, and it serves a predominantly low-income population, with 99% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

The school’s standout strength is its advanced math pathway. In 2025–2026, 96% of students taking Algebra I scored proficient or above—far exceeding the district average of 59.4% and the state average of 48.1%. This follows two consecutive years of 100% proficiency. Nearby Griffin Middle School also hit 100%, while Floyd Middle School reached 94%. Betty Gray’s 8th graders taking High School Physical Science also performed well, with 73.1% proficient, above the state average of 60.9%. However, grade-level math proficiency remains below state averages—ranging from 25.9% in 6th grade to 33.7% in 7th grade—though both have improved over the past two years. Science (17.5%) and social studies (30.6%) proficiency in 8th grade lag significantly behind state averages.

Chronic absenteeism is a persistent challenge at 22.6%, higher than the district (14.2%) and state (17.7%) averages, though it has improved from a peak of 32.4% in 2021–2022. The school also shows a notable strength in serving its African American students, ranking in the 69th percentile statewide for that group—well above its overall 37th percentile ranking. Per-student spending is high at $16,188, more than Campbell Middle School ($13,568) and Griffin Middle School ($14,197), yet overall outcomes trail those schools. Betty Gray’s stability suggests a school that is holding its ground, with pockets of excellence—especially in advanced math—that could be expanded to benefit all students.
