State report card
Georgia grades schools with the College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI), which the Georgia Department of Education calls “Georgia’s annual tool for measuring how well schools, districts, and the state are preparing students for the next educational level,” according to its accountability page. Scores run from 0 to 100. Georgia does not issue letter grades.
| Report year | CCRPI score |
|---|---|
| 2025 | 70.3 |
| 2024 | 78.9 |
| 2023 | 69.0 |
The 2025 score breaks down into content mastery 47.3, progress 99.4, closing gaps 36.8 and readiness 78.8, each a component score out of 100. In reading, 29.5% of third graders and 39.2% of fifth graders scored at or above the midpoint of the state’s grade-level Lexile range.
Georgia Milestones, 2025 end-of-grade tests (share of tested students at the proficient and distinguished levels):
| Subject | Proficient | Distinguished |
|---|---|---|
| English language arts | 22.2% | 2.5% |
| Math | 21.9% | 7.8% |

Attendance zone and feeder schools
Look up any address with the City of Marietta’s property search tool, which the district uses for school zones, or see the district attendance zone map (PDF). Elementary zones do not follow neighborhood lines. A Marietta mailing address outside the city is generally in the Cobb County School District.
The district’s charter system page lists one sixth grade academy, one middle school and one high school, so every Lockheed Elementary student goes on to the Marietta Sixth Grade Academy, then Marietta Middle and Marietta High.
For 2026-27, the district’s charter system page listed Lockheed Elementary as accepting school choice applications in second and fourth grades. Choice lets a family in another elementary zone apply for an open seat; the application window is Nov. 1 to 15.
We found no rezoning approved by the Board of Education that affects the school.
