Summary

Slater Marietta Elementary is a small, rural school in Marietta, SC, serving 307 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the highly-regarded Greenville 01 district.

One of the most encouraging things about this school is its success with students from low-income backgrounds. With 100% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, the school ranks in the 72nd percentile statewide for this group—a 4-star rating that outpaces its overall school ranking. This tells parents that the school is doing something right in supporting children who face economic challenges. Another bright spot is attendance: chronic absenteeism has dropped from 27.6% in 2021-2022 to 17.3% in 2024-2025, which is better than both the district and state averages. That improvement suggests a welcoming climate and strong family engagement. When you look at nearby schools, Slater Marietta stands out as a solid mid-tier performer. It significantly outperforms Cherrydale Elementary, Berea Elementary, Duncan Chapel Elementary, and Armstrong Elementary, all of which rank in the bottom 35th percentile statewide. However, it trails the top-tier Heritage Elementary (91st percentile) and Gateway Elementary (94th percentile) just a few miles away.

There are a few areas parents should watch closely. The school spends generously—$16,124 per student, more than Heritage or Gateway—and maintains a favorable 12.8:1 student-teacher ratio, yet overall results remain mid-pack. That raises questions about how resources are being used. More concerning is a sharp decline in 5th-grade math proficiency, which fell from 59.6% to 39.3% over two years. Additionally, while the school excels with low-income students, its performance with White students has been weak for three straight years, ranking in the 23rd percentile. Finally, be aware that year-to-year rankings can swing noticeably—after hitting the 73rd percentile in 2022-2023, it dropped to the 58th the next year. For a school this size, individual class cohorts can have an outsized impact on results.

Our school has continued the upward trend in academics. For this last testing year (2021-2022) We improved in ELA & Math. Our Science score for students was the highest growth change in the district! Close Quote
