While Acworth Intermediate School spends more per student ($10,904 in 2018-2019) compared to the state average, its academic performance lags behind many of the nearby Frey Elementary, Bullard Elementary, and Big Shanty Elementary schools. The school's test scores are generally lower than the Cobb County and Georgia state averages across all grade levels and subjects.

Acworth Intermediate School's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 547 out of 1,209 Georgia elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 473 out of 1,248 in 2023-2024. Its SchoolDigger star rating has also dropped from 3 stars to 2 stars during this time. These challenges suggest that the school and the Cobb County School District should prioritize identifying effective strategies to improve student outcomes at Acworth Intermediate School.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
