My son and I will be moving to Atlanta, GA in Jan. I have read the reviews and everyone says great things about the schools in Cobb County. I'm trying to decide? He is in Kindergarten.
Which elementary school in Cobb County?
Parent Answers to "Which elementary school in Cobb County?"
We are extremely pleased with Tritt Elementary in east Cobb/Roswell. The school community is loving and supportive. The teachers are awesome and a great mix of seasoned veterans and excited "newbies." Just to illustrate the community support for the school, the school's private foundation just raised over $60K for extra equipment/materials/programs for the children. Even in these tighter times, this school community values the education here. Because of the foundation, the school has a staffed computer lab, a staffed and equipped science lab, extra playground equipment, and Spanish instruction that is over and above regular system funding. What happens in the classroom is absolutely stellar. Discipline expectations are high, curricular standards are too. They've just ranked in the top 10 schools in the state on their 3rd grade reading test scores. There are many after school programs--scouts, chess, yoga, art, ymca sports, etc--right there on campus after school for enrichment. My daughter is thriving there.

It depends on which part of the county you move to. The schools in North Cobb and East Cobb tend to have better test scores and lots of parent involvement.
