Summary:

Marietta City Schools is a Georgia district of 11 schools—8 elementary, 2 middle, and 1 high school—serving roughly 8,526 students and ranking 44th out of 201 districts statewide with a 4-star rating. The district generally outperforms state averages in math, science, and graduation rates, but results vary widely between schools.

The standout is Marietta Center for Advanced Academics, ranked 4th in Georgia for three straight years, with math proficiency above 94% in grades 3-5 and chronic absenteeism of just 1.9%. West Side Elementary is close behind, climbing to 9th in the state with math scores between 86% and 94%. At the other end, Lockheed Elementary ranks 964th, with 5th grade math proficiency at just 22.5%—a 75-point gap from MCAA. Park Street Elementary also struggles, with 92% of students on free/reduced lunch. Marietta Middle School is a bright spot, achieving 99.2% proficiency in Algebra I, far above the state's 48.1%. Marietta Sixth Grade Academy also excels in 6th grade math at 54.2% versus the state's 40.7%.

Chronic absenteeism is a district-wide concern, averaging 19.8% versus the state's 17.7%, with Marietta High School at 33.4% despite a strong 92.2% graduation rate. Per-student spending doesn't predict success—Lockheed spends $20,920 but ranks low, while West Side spends $17,883 and ranks near the top. Encouraging trends include Dunleith Elementary improving from the 50th to 74th percentile and Sawyer Road Elementary rising from 43rd to 60th. Science proficiency lags in several schools, with Hickory Hills at 27.2% and Lockheed at 18% in 5th grade science, suggesting a focus area for improvement.
