Elementary Schools in Marietta City

Summary:

The Marietta City school district in Georgia is home to 8 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the district as a whole performs below the state average, several standout schools within the district are consistently ranked among the top in Georgia.

The West Side Elementary School and Marietta Center for Advanced Academics are two of the highest-performing elementary schools in the district, with 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger and exceptional student achievement, with over 70% and 80% proficiency in core subjects, respectively. Hickory Hills Elementary School and A.L. Burruss Elementary School also stand out as strong performers, with 3- and 4-star ratings and student outcomes well above the district and state averages.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in student performance across the district, with some schools, such as Lockheed Elementary School, struggling to achieve proficiency rates above 30%. These differences in performance suggest that factors beyond just district-level policies and resources, such as socioeconomic status and targeted programs for gifted and talented students, may play a crucial role in driving academic achievement within the Marietta City school district.
