Summary

Marietta Middle School serves 1,352 students in grades 7-8 within the Marietta City district, and has climbed from the 47th to the 70th percentile statewide over the past three years—a remarkable upward trajectory.

The school’s standout strength is its advanced coursework. In 2025-2026, 99.2% of students taking Algebra I scored proficient or better—more than double the district average (60.2%) and state average (48.1%). Similarly, 93.4% of 8th graders taking High School Physical Science scored proficient, compared to 60.9% statewide. This near-perfect performance is especially notable when compared to nearby schools: McClure Middle School and Lovinggood Middle School also achieve 100% Algebra I proficiency, but they serve far more affluent populations (roughly 31% free/reduced lunch) versus Marietta’s 68%. Meanwhile, Pearson Middle School (100% free/reduced lunch) posts just 17.4% 8th grade math proficiency, while Marietta reaches 48%. The school also ranks 11th statewide for White students (97th percentile) and 94th for African American students (80th percentile), with strong support for Special Education students (72nd percentile).

Beyond academics, Marietta Middle has cut chronic absenteeism from 28.9% to 19.5% over four years, and its 12.8:1 student-teacher ratio is more favorable than most Cobb County schools. Per-student spending of $17,505 is among the highest in the area. The feeder pattern from Marietta Sixth Grade Academy (where 6th grade math proficiency exceeds the state by 13.5 points) appears to set students up well. One area for growth: Hispanic students rank at the 51st percentile statewide, a relative weakness compared to other subgroups. Overall, this is a school making strategic investments—smaller classes, higher spending, and improving attendance—that are paying off in measurable gains across nearly every subject.
