Marietta Elementary School faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 25% to 32.6% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores on the Ohio State Tests are generally below the state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with proficiency rates ranging from 38.8% to 58.9% in English Language Arts and 38.8% to 55.1% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 55.2% to 70.6% in ELA and 50.1% to 67.2% in Math. Additionally, the school's student group rankings are particularly low for female students, male students, students with disabilities, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, all of which are ranked in the bottom 25% of Ohio elementary schools.

In contrast, nearby schools such as Belpre Elementary School, Beverly-Center Elementary School, and Waterford Elementary School, which are in different districts, have significantly higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better overall performance. This highlights the potential for improvement at Marietta Elementary School by learning from the practices and strategies employed at these higher-performing schools. By addressing the underlying factors contributing to the school's challenges, such as the high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and the elevated chronic absenteeism rates, Marietta Elementary School has the opportunity to enhance its academic performance and provide a more equitable and effective education for its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
