Summary:
ZIP 45750 in Marietta is home to five schools — three elementary (K–2, K–3, and 3–6) and two high schools (7–12 and 10–12) — serving about 2,472 students across Marietta City (four schools) and the Washington County Career Center District (one school). Notably, there is no standalone middle school: grades 7 and 8 are housed inside Marietta High School, so students move into the high school building at 7th grade.
Marietta High School is the largest school in the ZIP with 995 students, and it has the strongest academic profile: a 98.4% graduation rate and above-state proficiency in Geometry (56.3% vs. 43.3%), Biology (74.5% vs. 67.0%), and English II (66.3% vs. 62.7%). Its weak spots are 7th-grade math, at just 15.2% proficient versus 48.6% statewide, and chronic absenteeism of 32.1% — far above the elementary schools, which range from 16.5% to 18.6%, and above the district rate of 24.1%. Marietta Elementary School, with 628 students in grades 3–6, improved in 7 of 9 tested subjects year over year but remains below state in all 9, with the biggest gaps in 6th-grade math (40.4% vs. 56.2%) and 5th-grade science (48.4% vs. 62.7%).
Poverty is high throughout the area: Washington County CC Barrett Bld (394 students, grades 10–12) has the highest free/reduced-price lunch rate at 72.84%, followed by Washington School at 71.71% and Phillips School at 67.16%. Phillips has the lowest student-teacher ratio (12.0) and the lowest chronic absenteeism (16.5%). Parents should note data gaps: the career center reports no test, rank, absenteeism, or spending data, the two youngest elementaries have no current test scores, and spending figures date to 2018–2019.
