Cobb County Schools Launch $600 Out-Of-District Enrollment Program As Student Numbers Decline 

#wqeb973newz |Marietta,GA-🏫 Cobb County Schools Open Enrollment to Out-of-District Students Amid Declining Enrollment

The Cobb County School District is opening its doors to students who live outside the district through its new Choose Cobb program.

The tuition-based program allows eligible students to attend 12 participating elementary, middle, and high schools, depending on available space. Applications for the Spring 2027 semester are open through November 30, with tuition set at $600 per student per semester.

District officials say the program will help fill empty classroom seats and generate additional revenue. However, some parents and taxpayers are questioning whether the tuition covers the actual cost of educating students and whether the community should have been consulted before the program launched.

Cobb County Schools says district residents will continue to receive enrollment priority.
