Clay-harmony Leland Elementary School, Mableton GA

Original Research by School Decision on Clay-harmony Leland Elementary School

Clay-Harmony Leland Elementary School serves pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Mableton, a newly incorporated suburb of metro Atlanta. The school enrolls a student body that is predominantly Black and Hispanic, with a substantial share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The overall enrollment is mid-sized for an elementary school with that grade span.

Academic performance across tested grades shows proficiency rates that run below the midpoint when compared to other districts in Cobb County. In English language arts, proficiency ranges from low in third grade to moderate in fifth grade. Mathematics proficiency is similar across grades three through five, with about half of fourth-graders meeting the standard but lower results in third and fifth grades. Science proficiency in fifth grade is in the low range. These results suggest the school is working with a student population facing academic headwinds, and a parent may want to look into further detail with the school about its reading and math intervention strategies and how it supports students who enter below grade level.

Mableton itself is a residential suburb with a developing commercial landscape. The city incorporated only recently and is actively building out infrastructure, services, and new mixed-use development, especially along its eastern side near Interstate 20. Established neighborhoods sit to the west near the Chattahoochee River. The area is car-dependent, though the city is working to improve walkability through sidewalk projects and a proposed civic center plan. Employment is largely regional; residents commute to Atlanta or to regional employers such as Delta, Amazon, and Cobb County Government, though Six Flags Over Georgia, based in Mableton, provides seasonal hiring. Housing values are moderate for the region. The South Cobb Regional Library serves as a civic anchor, and residents have access to parks including the Silver Comet Trail and the Chattahoochee corridor.

Clay-Harmony Leland sits within Cobb County School District, which operates eight districts in the county. Among the schools and contexts in Cobb County, this school's overall proficiency across tested subjects places it below the midpoint.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
