Summary:

ZIP code 30062 in Marietta, Georgia, is served by seven elementary schools spanning two districts—Cobb County and Marietta City—with a combined enrollment of 5,230 students across grades K-5, and the area presents a dramatic split in both socioeconomic makeup and academic outcomes.

Families in this ZIP code will find some of the strongest elementary schools in Georgia, but also two schools facing significant challenges. Tritt Elementary School leads the pack with a 99th-percentile state ranking, 5-star rating, and math proficiency rates above 84% in every grade, while East Side Elementary School is close behind at the 98th percentile with the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (2.8%) and the lowest per-student spending ($14,530) in the group. Murdock Elementary School, Garrison Mill Elementary School, and Shallowford Falls Elementary School all rank in the top 9% statewide, with math proficiency generally in the 64–85% range. At the other end, Lockheed Elementary School ranks in the 21st percentile with 5th-grade math at just 22.5%, while Sawyer Road Elementary School has shown remarkable improvement, jumping 221 spots in state ranking over two years to reach the 60th percentile despite serving an 83% poverty population.

The most striking takeaway is that higher spending does not translate to better results—the two highest-spending schools (Sawyer Road at $23,370/student and Lockheed at $20,920/student) have the lowest test scores, while East Side spends the least yet performs near the top. Chronic absenteeism mirrors this divide: the five Cobb County schools all have rates below 5%, while Lockheed (16.8%) and Sawyer Road (19.6%) struggle with attendance. Shallowford Falls shows an unusual pattern, with 3rd-grade math at 85.3% but dropping to 64.5% by 5th grade, suggesting a possible cohort or upper-grade challenge. For parents, the choice within this ZIP code is stark—the five Cobb County schools are among the best in the state, while the two Marietta City schools face substantial hurdles despite receiving significantly more funding per student.
