Compton Elementary School is located in Powder Springs in southwest Cobb County.

Driving time is approximately 40 minutes from the United clubhouse. There are three popular ways to get there:

Through downtown Marietta:

• Take Powder Springs Road west from the Marietta Square.
• Continue on Powder Springs for approximately 4-5 miles until you reach a large 3-way intersection with Macland Road. You'll pass County Services Road, Cheatham Hill Road and Kolb Farm before you reach the Macland intersection. There are numerous retail businesses near this intersection.
• Turn right onto Macland Road. (This is more of a fork to the right than a full right turn.)
• Continue on Macland for approximately 4 miles until you reach the intersection with New Macland Road / Hwy 176.
• Turn left onto New Macland Road.
• Continue on New Macland for 2-¼ miles. You'll pass McEachern High School on the right, then you'll pass an intersection with a CVS and Eckerd on the left. Compton Elementary School will be on the right just past that intersection. Take the 2nd entrance into Compton. The fields are past the back parking lot down the hill on the left.

Via I-75:

• Take I-75 South to exit #261 (old exit #111): Delk Road/Highway 280.
• Go right (west) onto Delk Road.
• Continue on Delk Road for several miles. The road name changes to South Cobb Drive. You'll pass Lockheed. You'll pass Atlanta Road. When you see a McDonald's on your left, you're getting near your turn. You'll start to climb a large hill. There's a Pike's Nursery on the right.
• Turn right onto Austell Road. This is a large intersection.
• Continue on Austell for several miles. You'll eventually get into a "fast food row" area, and you'll see Cobb General Hospital (name has probably changed recently, but it's the only hospital around). You're close to your turn.
• Turn right onto the East-West Connector. This is another large intersection.
• Continue on the East-West Connector for approximately two miles. You'll pass Tramore Park, and you'll also pass a large intersection with Powder Springs Road.
• Turn left at the first light after the Powder Springs intersection onto Macedonia Road.
• Continue on Macedonia for approximately 2-¾ miles. You'll pass a series of stop signs, and you'll also pass Wild Horse Creek Park.
• Turn left at a traffic light onto New Macland Road (also named Hwy 176). There are drug stores on both corners of this intersection.
• Compton Elementary School is a couple of hundred yards down the road on the right. Take the 2nd entrance into Compton. The fields are past the back parking lot down the hill on the left.

Through West Marietta:

• Take Barrett Parkway (a.k.a. Ridgeway Road) west toward Dallas Highway (Hwy 120).
• Continue on this road through the intersection with Dallas Highway. The road becomes the West Cobb Parkway.
• Continue on the West Cobb Parkway for 3-½ miles until you reach a large intersection with Macland Road. There's very little development at this intersection, but it's huge with several traffic lights, so you can't miss it.
• Turn right onto Macland Road and continue for just over 2-½ miles until you reach the intersection with New Macland Road / Hwy 176. There's a church on the near left and a Kroger shopping center on the far right.
• Turn left onto New Macland Road.
• Continue on New Macland for 2-¼ miles. You'll pass McEachern High School on the right, then you'll pass an intersection with a CVS and Eckerd on the left. Compton Elementary School will be on the right just past that intersection. Take the 2nd entrance into Compton. The fields are past the back parking lot down the hill on the left.
