Summary

Marietta High School is a public school in Marietta, Ohio, serving grades 7–12 with 995 students as part of the Marietta City district — by far the largest school in its immediate area and one that ranked 403rd of 795 Ohio schools (49th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026. That is a meaningful long-term gain: the school sat at the 29th percentile in 2016–2017 and the 32nd percentile in 2018–2019, peaked at 51st percentile in 2024–2025, and remains a 2-star school today. The Marietta City district ranks 515th of 773 Ohio districts (33rd percentile, 2 stars).

Academically, the high school results are stronger than the middle school results. Geometry stands out at 56.3% proficient versus 43.3% statewide, and Biology (74.5% vs. 67.0%) is likewise above the state. English II, Algebra I, and American History also edge past state averages. The clearest concern is 7th-grade math, where only 15.2% of students were proficient compared with 48.6% statewide — far below Belpre High School (51.6%) and Frontier High/Middle School (38.1%). 8th-grade science and American Government also fall below state and local peers. Graduation is a bright spot at 98.4%, up from 88.4% three years earlier, but chronic absenteeism remains high at 32.1%, well above the district's 24.1% and far above Warren High School (18.1%), Waterford High School (16.4%), and Fort Frye High School (17.0%).

Compared with nearby schools, Marietta is larger and more mid-ranked. Its student–teacher ratio of 17.7 is the highest locally (nearby average about 13.1), and its 2018–2019 per-student spending of $8,836 sits below the nearby average of roughly $9,764. Fort Frye High School is the local standout at the 81st percentile (4 stars), with Waterford High School, Belpre High School, and Warren High School also ranking above Marietta, which leads only Frontier High/Middle School. Two subgroup results stand out: low-income students ranked in the 74th percentile (4 stars) in 2025–2026, a major jump, while special education students ranked in the 29th percentile (1 star).
