Marietta City

Summary:

The Marietta City school district in Georgia consists of 12 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district's schools demonstrate a wide range of performance, with several standout institutions as well as some struggling campuses.

Among the top-performing schools in the district are West Side Elementary School and Marietta Center for Advanced Academics, both of which have earned 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger and consistently outperform state averages on student assessments. Dunleith Elementary School has also shown significant improvement, moving from a 2-star to a 4-star rating in recent years.

However, the district also includes some lower-performing schools, such as Lockheed Elementary School, which struggles to meet state proficiency standards. This disparity in student outcomes suggests a need for more equitable distribution of resources and support across the Marietta City school system to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
