Summary:

ZIP code 30082 in Smyrna, Georgia, is home to five schools within the Cobb County School District, serving approximately 4,563 students across four elementary schools and one middle school, with no high schools in the immediate area.

For parents exploring this area, the standout choice is King Springs Elementary School, which ranks in the 84th percentile statewide (4 stars) and consistently outperforms district and state averages in math across all grade levels. Its chronic absenteeism rate is an excellent 6.4%, and only about a quarter of its students receive free/reduced lunch. At the middle school level, Griffin Middle School is a solid choice (71st percentile, 4 stars), with a truly exceptional Algebra I program where 100% of students scored proficient in 2025-2026—far above the district's 59.4% and the state's 48.1%. Nickajack Elementary School offers a respectable mid-tier option (69th percentile, 3 stars), with 5th grade math proficiency jumping from 36.4% to 49.8% in one year, showing strong positive momentum.

The remaining two elementary schools face significant challenges. Norton Park Elementary School (37th percentile) and Russell Elementary School (26th percentile) serve predominantly high-poverty populations (100% and 94.89% free/reduced lunch, respectively) and have the lowest test scores in the ZIP code. Notably, these two schools receive the highest per-student funding ($20,973 and $19,402) and have the smallest class sizes (10.1:1 and 10.6:1), yet the achievement gap persists—a reminder that school resources alone don't tell the full story. Chronic absenteeism also mirrors this divide, ranging from 6.4% at King Springs to 20.1% at Norton Park. While Norton Park has shown improvement from the 21st to 37th percentile over two years, parents should weigh these factors carefully when choosing a school in this area.
