Student Resources
Marietta City Schools (MCS) serve some 8,000 students at eight elementary choice schools—one of which is a Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Magnet—one middle school, one sixth-grade school, and one high school. MCS is home to four Georgia Schools of Excellence and one National School of Excellence. The school district has approximately 1200 employees. In June 2008, Marietta City Schools became one of Georgia’s first Charter School Systems.
MCS is also an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School district. On April 23, 2008, the school district became only the second IB World School district in Georgia authorized to offer the IB Middle Years Program (MYP) for grades 6-10. With the addition of the IB Middle Years Program to the IB Primary Years Program (PYP) offering at Sawyer Road Elementary and the long-standing IB Diploma Program (DP) at Marietta High School, MCS is one of only a few school systems nationwide able to provide the full IB (K-12) continuum.
In October 2007, Marietta City Schools earned initial district accreditation as a quality school system from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI). District Accreditation is valid for five years and is the highest level of accreditation that a school system can receive from the SACS CASI organization.
MCS has consistently ranked among the top 15 percent of public school systems nationally for the past several years, and has also earned numerous recognitions.
