Summary:

Zip code 30152 in Kennesaw, GA, is served by 10 schools within the Cobb County district and the State Specialty Schools II- Northwest Classical Academy district, offering a full spectrum of education from elementary through high school, plus alternative programs, for roughly 9,400 students.

This area is anchored by exceptional secondary schools. Harrison High School is the standout, ranking in the top 5% of Georgia high schools with a 97.8% graduation rate and strong proficiency in Algebra I (75.5%) and Biology (78.3%). Lost Mountain Middle School and McClure Middle School are equally impressive, both ranking in the top 4% of middle schools statewide and achieving 100% proficiency in Algebra I. Kennesaw Mountain High School is also a 5-star school, though it trails Harrison in most metrics. The elementary schools are more varied: Bullard Elementary School leads the group (73rd percentile), while Lewis Elementary School (64th) and Hayes Elementary School (56th) are solid but less distinguished. Northwest Classical Academy, a K-12 specialty school, performs well above state averages, notably with 85% proficiency in U.S. History.

A clear pattern emerges linking poverty levels to performance. Schools with lower free/reduced lunch eligibility, like Harrison (16%) and Lost Mountain (22%), dramatically outperform those with higher rates, such as Pine Mountain Middle School (55.5% FRL, 66th percentile) and Hayes (57.5% FRL). Interestingly, higher per-student spending does not correlate with better outcomes—Lewis spends the most ($18,607) yet ranks lower than Harrison, which spends the least ($12,550). Chronic absenteeism is a bright spot, with every traditional school below the state average of 17.7%. Devereux Ackerman Academy is a specialized alternative school serving at-risk students (94.4% FRL) with a 3.9:1 student-teacher ratio, and its metrics should not be compared to traditional schools. Overall, this zip code offers families elite middle and high school options, though elementary choices are more mixed.
