Summary

Mashburn Elementary School in Cumming, GA, serves approximately 976 students in Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the highly-ranked Forsyth County School District, which ranks in the top 5% of districts statewide. The school has earned a 5-star rating and currently ranks 59th out of 1,219 elementary schools in Georgia (95th percentile), a remarkable climb from 165th just a few years ago. This improvement is especially notable because Mashburn serves a more economically diverse student body than many nearby schools, with about 23% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch—compared to just 8% at Daves Creek Elementary and 12% at Shiloh Point Elementary.

Mashburn’s standout strength is mathematics. In the most recent testing year, proficiency rates were 77.1% in 3rd grade, 80.5% in 4th grade, and 80.6% in 5th grade—all well above district averages (73.1%, 74.8%, and 71.6%) and dramatically above state averages (roughly 48%, 50%, and 44%). The school also shines in 5th grade science, with 76% proficiency, beating the district average by 11 points and the state average by nearly 32 points. Science scores have improved by over 15 percentage points in just two years. While English Language Arts (ELA) scores from the current year are not yet available, last year’s results showed solid growth, with 5th graders scoring 65.7% proficiency—more than 11 points higher than 3rd graders, indicating strong literacy development across grade levels.

Perhaps the most striking change at Mashburn is attendance. Chronic absenteeism has plummeted from 21.4% in 2022-2023 to just 7.2% now—a 66% reduction that outpaces both the district (8.2%) and state (17.7%) averages. This improvement coincides with the school’s academic rise, suggesting a positive, engaged school climate. Mashburn also achieves these results efficiently, spending about $12,501 per student—less than nearby Settles Bridge Elementary ($13,798) or Haw Creek Elementary ($14,300). For parents, Mashburn offers a proven track record of strong math and science instruction, improving attendance, and consistent results across student groups—all within a top-tier district.

Mashburn is an amazing environment where both of my daughters feel loved but are also pushed academically. The teachers know them and meet them where they are. There are lots of different clubs they can participate in and I frequently communicate with their teachers. I have been blessed to call Mashburn my home for my girls for several years! Close Quote
