Cognia Review

Cobb families know the Cobb County School District has a reputation for excellence, as Cobb’s students consistently perform better than their peers. You could live anywhere, yet over 200,000 parents choose to raise their children in Cobb. You know that a Cobb education gives your children a competitive advantage for scholarships, college, future employment, and life. 

Once again, Cobb families can feel even more confident their students are receiving a high-quality education following the most recent accreditation review by Cognia, one of Cobb’s accrediting agencies and one of the largest in the world. 

After recently completing an Accreditation Engagement Review, which took almost one year to complete, every school in Cobb County has been accredited for an additional six years. 


School History

The property for the school was assembled from 3 different owners:

The City of Smyrna

Halpern Enterprises

Robert and Jennifer Young

The majority of the property was purchased from Halpern Enterprises, owners of the former Belmont Hills Shopping Center property which was located on the corner of Windy Hill Rd. and Atlanta Rd. in Smyrna. The area that is now the Smyrna ES playfields, extending to Ward St., was once the Smyrna Commons apartment complex. The natural area bordering the school was owned by the Young family and was purchased by the School District. Smyrna ES also abuts the north and east side of Campbell High School.

A new road has been constructed for access to the new school. Halpern Enterprises constructed the new road and the roundabout starting at Fleming St. and ending just west of the roundabout. The city of Smyrna built the section of road starting at Ward St. and connected it with the portion of the road that Halpern built. The school is centered on the roundabout.

The school has 61 instructional units and can house 962 students. It is a 2-story facility. Kindergarten and Primary classrooms are housed on the first floor, and Intermediate classrooms are on the second floor. It has 143,107 square feet. It is the first LEED certified school in the Cobb County School District.

A school garden has been established and will be supported by students, staff and community volunteers.

There is a natural area on the campus adjacent to Fleming St. that is a dedicated conservation area. In this natural area, there is a gazebo and a walking trail to access it.

The playfields for the elementary school are fenced and have access controls on the gate. After school hours and weekends, the public will be allowed access to the fields. During school hours, the gate will remain locked. There is also an open space between the playfields and Ward St. that will be accessible by the public.
