Summary

Marietta Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-6 in Marietta, Ohio, part of the Marietta City School District. With 622 students, the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools, receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Marietta Elementary School faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 19.8% to 28.3% over the past few years, well above the state average. The school's test scores on the Ohio State Tests are generally below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 36.9% in 5th grade Science to 68.8% in 4th grade Mathematics, compared to state averages of 63.4% and 69.1%, respectively. The school also struggles to serve certain student subgroups effectively, with its rankings for female, male, white, special education, low socioeconomic status, and gifted and talented students all in the bottom quarter of Ohio elementary schools.

In contrast, some nearby schools in other districts, such as Belpre Elementary, Beverly-Center Elementary, and Waterford Elementary, have significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates, and are ranked in the top half of Ohio elementary schools. This suggests that higher performance is possible in the region, and examining the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools may provide valuable insights to help Marietta Elementary School address its areas of concern and better support the success of all its students.
