More than half of all Cobb County School District students have indicated they will be returning to classrooms.
As of late Saturday, a total of 56,284 students have opted for face-to-face learning, or 52.3 percent, compared to 41,036 students, or 38.1 percent who will remain with the remote option for the rest of the fall semester.
That’s when updated district-wide, grade-level and school-by-school breakdowns were distributed by Cobb Board of Education member David Banks in his e-mail newsletter.
Another 10,296 students, or 9.6 percent, had not responded. Earlier last week, the district said around 49 percent of students opted for going back to school, but had no school-by-school figures.
Banks said in his newsletter those figures will be subject to change since they are being updated.
A total of 58.7 percent of elementary school students will be returning Oct. 5, after this coming week’s fall break. The middle school return date is Oct. 19, and 54.2 percent will be going back. On Nov. 5, high school students can learn in-person, and as of now 42.7 percent have chosen that option. But more than 15 percent of students have not responded.
Elementary schools
Several elementary schools in East Cobb are reporting more than 70 percent of their students chose face-to-face schooling.
Those include Garrison Mill (78.1), Mt. Bethel (77.1), Tritt (76), Davis (75,1), Timber Ridge (71.1) and Rocky Mount (70.2).
Schools that will have more than 40 percent staying remote include Brumby (47.2) and Sedalia Park (41.4), and Powers Ferry is at 38.5 percent for now. Powers Ferry (12.9) and Brumby (11.7) are in double-figures in the no-response rate.

Nearly three-quarters of all students at Mabry Middle School in East Cobb have selected in-person learning. At East Cobb Middle School, 42.9 percent will be returning, 41.2 will remain remote, and 15.9 percent have not responded.

Pope tops the high school face-to-face list, with 70.6 percent saying they’ll be coming back to campus in early November. Lassiter is at 63.3 for face-to-face and Walton is at 52.2 percent. Kell and Sprayberry are nearly even, but 17.1 and 18.5 percent of students there have not responded.
Thus far 53 percent of Wheeler students chose the remote option, but 11.3 percent have not responded.
The Cobb school district has said that students who have not made a choice must do so through the principal at their assigned school. For information visit the Cobb schools Learning Everywhere portal.
