Summary:
The city of Marietta, Ohio is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 high schools, and no middle schools or alternative schools. While Marietta High School stands out with relatively high performance on state tests and a strong graduation rate, the district as a whole appears to be struggling, with all schools ranked in the bottom half of their respective state rankings.
The schools in Marietta have a predominantly white student population, with minority representation being low. Proficiency rates on state tests vary, with Marietta High School generally performing better than the Marietta City and Ohio state averages, while the elementary schools struggle more, particularly in Mathematics and Science. Chronic absenteeism rates are relatively high across the district, ranging from 17.1% to 31.1%, which could be an area of concern.
The schools in Marietta serve a relatively high-need student population, with a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.32% to 54.01%. This suggests a need for additional resources and targeted interventions to address the unique challenges faced by these students. The variation in spending per student across the schools may also indicate a need for a more equitable distribution of resources within the Marietta City and Washington County Career Center District.
