Summary

Marietta Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Marietta, Mississippi, with 284 students. It is part of the Prentiss County School District, which is ranked 27 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating. Marietta Elementary has consistently been one of the top-performing elementary schools in Mississippi, ranking in the top 30 schools for several years.

Marietta Elementary consistently outperforms the Prentiss County School District and the state of Mississippi in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 69.2% of 3rd graders at Marietta Elementary were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 58.8% for the district and 49.4% for the state. The school also has lower chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 8.9% to 23.9% over the past few years, while the district rates were higher, ranging from 14.5% to 23.9%. Additionally, Marietta Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11 to 12 students per teacher, which is lower than the nearby Itawamba Attendance Center, Tishomingo Elementary, and Mooreville Elementary School.

Despite the high academic performance, Marietta Elementary has a very high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with free or reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 59.86% to 98.94% over the past few years. This suggests the school is able to overcome socioeconomic challenges and provide a strong education to its students. While Marietta Elementary is a high-performing school, there are a few areas where it could potentially improve, such as the 8th-grade math proficiency rates, which are lower than the district and state averages.
