Summary:

ZIP code 30101 in Acworth, Georgia, is served by 10 schools—6 elementary schools (including one PK-1 primary school), 3 middle schools, and 1 high school—spanning the Cobb County and Paulding County districts, with a total enrollment of about 8,138 students.

The area’s academic standouts are its middle schools. Durham Middle School and Crossroads Middle School both rank in the 93rd percentile statewide with 5-star ratings, and their Algebra I proficiency rates are exceptional—97.6% and 100%, respectively, compared to the state average of 48.1%. Allatoona High School is the top high school, holding a 4-star rating (87th percentile) with a 94% graduation rate, though its ranking has slipped slightly from 5 stars in recent years. Among elementary schools, Ford Elementary (86th percentile), Pickett's Mill Elementary (84th), and Frey Elementary (81st) lead the pack, while Baker Elementary showed the biggest improvement, jumping 100 spots in rankings. Acworth Elementary and McCall Primary serve the highest-need populations, with free/reduced lunch rates above 69% and lower performance metrics.

A clear pattern emerges: schools with lower chronic absenteeism and lower poverty rates tend to perform better. Ford, Pickett's Mill, and Frey all have absenteeism rates below 6% and rank in the 80th percentile or higher, while McCall Primary (15.1% absenteeism) and Barber Middle (13.4%) lag behind. Interestingly, higher per-student spending does not guarantee better results—Crossroads Middle achieves top-tier outcomes with the lowest spending ($11,614 per student) and highest student-teacher ratio (17.4), while McCall Primary spends the most ($27,866) but serves only PK-1. Science proficiency is a universal weak spot across all schools, even at top performers like Durham Middle (40.9% in 8th-grade science vs. 67.9% in math). For parents, this area offers strong options, particularly at Durham, Crossroads, and Allatoona, but the socioeconomic divide between schools is a key factor to consider when choosing a school.
