Slater Marietta Elementary has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate in recent years, going from 171st out of 644 elementary schools in 2022-2023 (4-star rating) to 266th out of 638 in 2023-2024 (3-star rating) and 270th out of 640 in 2024-2025 (3-star rating). The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the district and state averages, with its 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate at 54.2% in 2024-2025, compared to 70.7% for the district and 61.8% for the state.

Despite the school's challenges, it appears to be well-resourced, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.3 and higher-than-average per-student spending of $16,060. However, the school faces significant socioeconomic hurdles, with a 100% free/reduced lunch rate and a high rate of chronic absenteeism at 22.5% in the 2023-2024 school year. These factors may be contributing to the school's academic performance struggles, suggesting that the issue may not be a lack of funding, but rather how those resources are being utilized to support student learning and engagement.
