Cobb schools face-to-face remote choices Archives

Mt. Bethel ES, Cobb CCRPI scores — *84 percent of the parents of Mt. Bethel Elementary School students chose face-to-face learning for the spring semester.*

The Cobb County School District said Thursday that nearly 54 percent of its enrollment will be learning in classrooms for the spring semester.

The district revealed those numbers, including school-by-school choices, and that you can find here.

Another 25 percent of students will be learning remotely during the spring, while 21 percent had not revealed their choices at the end of the sign-up period.

The district said those decisions will be made at the school level with students and their parents.

Another sign-up period will take place during the spring semester, but no dates or other specifics were announced by the district on Thursday.

The spring semester begins on Jan. 6.

The 53.6 percent overall figure for face-to-face learning for the spring is a bit higher than the 52.3 percent of students who signed up for in-person learning in the fall.

Like the fall, the school level with the highest percentages of face-to-face choices are for elementary school, at 60.9 percent.

In middle school, the face-to-face totals come to 53.5 percent, and for high school they’re 44.1 percent, also similar to fall figures.

In East Cobb, the schools with the highest rates of face-to-face choices are at Garrison Mill ES (85.9 percent), Keheley ES (85.8), Mt. Bethel ES (84.3), Tritt ES (83.5) and Hightower Trail MS (80.5).

On the other end were Brumby ES (38.6 percent), Eastvalley ES (40.3 percent), East Cobb MS (44.2), and Wheeler HS (37.3), although schools with lower face-to-face figures also had high numbers of students who hadn’t made a choice.

Three of the six high schools in East Cobb have a majority choosing face-to-face for the spring: Lassiter (67.8 percent), Pope (67.6) and Walton (57.6).

But nearly a third of students at Walton and Wheeler hadn’t made a choice.
