Summary

Lockheed Elementary School is a public elementary school in Marietta, Georgia, serving 719 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Marietta City School District, which is ranked 49 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Lockheed Elementary consistently underperforms academically. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 15.2% of 3rd graders at Lockheed were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 43.7% in Marietta City and 34.9% statewide. The school has been ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools for several years and has received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state. Lockheed Elementary also has an exceptionally high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 85.33% to 89.57% in recent years.

In contrast, other elementary schools in the Marietta City district, such as West Side Elementary and Marietta Center for Advanced Academics, consistently rank among the top schools in Georgia and have much higher proficiency rates, lower free/reduced lunch rates, and better student-teacher ratios. While the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Lockheed Elementary may be a significant factor contributing to its low academic performance, the school's consistently poor results suggest there is significant room for improvement through targeted interventions and support.

EVERY BODY IS SO NICE AND HELPFULL MY KIDS LOVE THERE SCHOOL Close Quote

I have been a teacher for over 20 years and all I can say is, this is not a place to send your child. Marietta city schools are corrupt and everyone will protect one another to ensure their positions. They do not have the best interest of the youth at heart. I would choose my location of residency very wisely! Close Quote

My son has attended Lockheed for two years and has been fortunate enough to have the same teacher for both kindergarten and first grade. His teacher has been nothing short of amazing. She is so patient and understanding with him. He is a very smart child, but gets bored and loses focus when he is not challenged. She understands this about him and finds different ways to challenge him everyday. Because of this, he is now doing 2nd and 3rd grade work! He also attends speech therapy in the school. His therapist has helped to improve his speech a hundred times better than what it was prior. The principal and staff are great people and really seem to have the children's best interest at heart.
