Summary

Cogburn Woods Elementary School in Alpharetta, GA, serves 786 students in grades PK-5 within the Fulton County School District, and it consistently ranks among the top 5% of elementary schools in Georgia—currently placing 62nd out of 1,219 schools statewide.

This is a school where students show up and thrive. Chronic absenteeism sits at just 4.2%, which is roughly four times lower than both the district (16.6%) and state (17.7%) averages—a remarkable improvement from 9.7% just a few years ago. In math, Cogburn Woods posts strong proficiency rates across all grade levels: 84.1% in 3rd grade, 81.4% in 4th grade, and 76.4% in 5th grade, outpacing state averages by 20 to 30 percentage points. The school also stands out for its work with English Language Learners, ranking 6th out of 214 schools statewide for ELL performance, and its Hispanic students rank in the 98th percentile among all Georgia schools serving that population. Science is the relative soft spot—70.6% proficiency in 5th grade—but that still beats the district by nearly 15 points. With a student-to-teacher ratio of 14.4:1 and per-student spending of $15,993, the school invests solidly in its students.

Compared to nearby schools, Cogburn Woods holds its own but faces stiff competition. Creek View Elementary, just over 3 miles away, ranks 6th statewide and posts a 92.8% 5th-grade math proficiency rate, well above Cogburn Woods' 76.4%. However, Cogburn Woods outperforms Manning Oaks Elementary (84th percentile), Amana Academy School (88th percentile), and Brandywine Elementary (86th percentile). Interestingly, Midway Elementary in Forsyth County achieves similar results with a higher student-teacher ratio and lower spending, suggesting Cogburn Woods' extra resources don't always translate into a clear edge. Still, with a decade of 4- and 5-star ratings and never falling below the 88th percentile, this is a dependable, high-achieving school for families in the Alpharetta area.
