Summary

Mountain Park Elementary School in Roswell, GA, is a top-performing public school serving 735 students in Pre-K through 5th grade, and it has earned a #12 ranking out of 1,219 elementary schools statewide for the 2025-2026 school year.

What truly sets Mountain Park apart is its remarkable consistency and its standout work with special education students. The school ranks #1 in Georgia for serving special education students—a perfect 100th percentile—which speaks to highly effective inclusion strategies that benefit all learners. In math, the school posts exceptional scores across every grade level: 89.2% of 3rd graders, 92.9% of 4th graders, and 83.8% of 5th graders are proficient, compared to state averages in the 44-50% range. That's a 30-40 percentage point advantage. The school also excels in science, with 81.4% of 5th graders proficient, outpacing nearby Sweet Apple Elementary (80%) and Roswell North Elementary (79.8%). Chronic absenteeism is remarkably low at just 4.8%, compared to 16.6% for Fulton County and 17.7% statewide—a sign of strong family engagement and a positive school climate.

Mountain Park's success isn't limited to one group of students. Both female and male students rank in the top 20 statewide, and the school achieves these results while spending slightly less per student ($16,846) than several nearby schools with far lower outcomes. For example, Hembree Springs Elementary spends $20,234 per student, and Vickery Mill Elementary spends $26,966, yet neither comes close to Mountain Park's proficiency rates. The school has been a 5-star institution for at least a decade, never dropping below the 90th percentile, and has climbed from #121 in 2015-2016 to #12 today. While current English Language Arts scores will be released in December, historical data shows strong performance there too, with 5th grade ELA proficiency at 84.6% in 2024-2025. For parents seeking a school that combines academic excellence with genuine inclusivity, Mountain Park is a standout choice.

Open Quote The teachers are for the most part very caring and shows genuine love for the students Close Quote

Open Quote This is a very clique driven school. If you are on the 'It' list your child gets the best teachers. The Principal is very shallow in her treatment of Teachers and Staff and Parents. . . . Not a good culture of inclusion. Close Quote

Open Quote It truly saddens me to see how Mountain Park has deteriorated over the past few years. Like many others, our family moved to this district in large part because of the reputation and ranking of this school. We were enthusiastic and pleased with the education and general school environment the first few years. Unfortunately, Mountain Park has taken a major turn for the worse with palpable low morale among the teachers and an overt fixation on test scores. Since the school ranking dropped from 11th to 47th in the state (from 2012 to 2013), the "teaching to the test" mentality has become the primary focus. If you have a gifted child, this is NOT the right educational environment! The high performing kids aren't challenged or stimulated because they will excel on standardized tests regardless of how little attention they are afforded. This is a school that has peaked and is now declining. Close Quote

Open Quote Mountain Park elementary is an excellent school. My son had a great experience there. The school has wonderful teachers and great parent involvement. Close Quote

Open Quote To the parent who was unhappy and submitted in February 2013, the word "principal" is not spelled "principle," as you have indicated.

Now for the school rating: Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. We moved from Ohio, which was so wrapped up in unions, it wasn't about the students but having teachers keep their jobs. The teachers and administration at Mountain Park care deeply for the students. I will forever have Mountain Park in my heart for the special care and attention my son has received. He has Aspberger's and was tossed aside in kindergarten in Ohio just to protect a lazy, useless teacher who should have not had tenure. Going to an IEP meeting in Ohio was like meeting up with a group of Enron attorneys. At Mountain Park, I get positive words and feel compassion and empathy every step of the way.

My son has had better access to the classroom, loads of friends, and a very open minded parent and school body that embraces children of all types, from all parts of the country, and the world. We have found our entire experience so wonderfully positive. Mountain Park deserves all the praises and high rankings it receives. May it live on forever. Close Quote

Open Quote I see the Principal all of the time. She is very involved, at every school function. The parents volunteer at the school all of the time and are very involved and supportive. There is tons of communication. The environment is cozy, and my child loves learning. It has been a great experience for us. Close Quote

Open Quote I would not recommend this school to families that are looking for a school that encourages the love of learning. This school is designed for students that function well in a rigid, structured very controlling environment. Fifteen minutes of recess per day and an extensive list of student and parent rules. The communication out of the school is poor. The biggest kicker is that they do in fact have great resources, excellent test scores and are ranked high among good schools but they rob their students of the joy and fun of learning. In Roswell, Roswell North is a much better school and much less pretentious. The principle is rarely seen at Mountain Park. We've been attending for a year and my child has yet to meet the principle at all. The teachers are very poor in the upper grades and they have very little interest in student success. Test scores are priority #1 and fun in learning and character come second fiddle if they are paid attention to at all. We've truly not enjoyed our experience at all and have moved our children to another campus in Roswell. Close Quote
