Summary:
The city of Marietta, Ohio is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 2 high schools, with no middle schools or alternative schools. The schools in this Marietta City School District and the Washington County Career Center District serve a predominantly white student population, with minority representation being relatively low.
Among the standout schools, Marietta Elementary School has the lowest student-teacher ratio, suggesting a more personalized learning environment, while Washington County CC Barrett Bld high school has the lowest student-teacher ratio across all 5 schools. However, the academic performance at these schools, as measured by Ohio State Test proficiency rates, is generally lower than the state averages, particularly in mathematics and science.
Socioeconomic challenges are evident, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 42.32% to 54.01% across the schools. Additionally, chronic absenteeism rates are relatively high, reaching up to 32.3% at Marietta High School. These factors, along with potential equity gaps in the racial makeup of the schools, suggest that the Marietta City School District faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education for all its students.
