Summary

Marietta Elementary School, at 242 N 7th St in Marietta, Ohio, is a public school serving grades 3–6 with 628 students, making it the largest campus in the Marietta City district — a consolidated upper-elementary building fed by Phillips School (K–2) and Washington School (K–3). It ranks 1,017 of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (35th percentile, 2 stars), and the district ranks 515 of 773 (33rd percentile). Because it is the district's grades 3–6 campus, its results at those grades are essentially the district's published results. About 60.7% of students are economically disadvantaged, and 17.6% were chronically absent in 2025–26.

Test scores trail Ohio averages in every tested grade and subject, by roughly 9 points on average. Literacy is the relative strength (about 6 points behind the state, and only 3.8 points behind in 6th grade ELA), while math (about 11 points behind) and 5th grade science (about 14 points behind) are the weak spots; 6th grade math, at 40.4%, is the lowest result the school posts. The encouraging news is momentum: 7 of 9 grade-subjects improved from 2024–25, including 5th grade science (+11.5), 5th grade math (+9.2), 3rd grade math (+8.7) and 3rd grade ELA (+7.9). Only 4th grade math (down 10.3) and 6th grade ELA (down 4.7) slipped. Chronic absenteeism has fallen to 17.6% from 32.6% four years ago.

Neighboring schools show what is possible at similar poverty levels. Belpre Elementary School has almost identical economic need (60.95% vs. 60.67%) yet ranks 48th percentile, with 3rd grade ELA at 80.3% versus 56.2% and 6th grade math at 69.0% versus 40.4%. The Fort Frye Local elementaries — Salem-Liberty Elementary School, Beverly-Center Elementary School and Lowell Elementary School — also outrank it, though these are very small schools where one class can swing results. Class size here (17.9 students per teacher) is the highest of the three Marietta City campuses. Subgroup effectiveness improved across the board in 2025–26, with low-income students now ranking 45th percentile. Overall: below average and behind most nearby peers, but clearly improving.
