Marrington Elementary School sits on the east side of Goose Creek and serves pre-K to fifth-grade students. Cozied up to the Naval base, the school has a strong connection and respect for the military.

In addition to a strong academic reputation in core classes, students have the opportunity to learn specialized skills through courses like art, music, physical education and computer science. The school hosts fun activities, like the annual Fun Run, spirit week, field day, community movie night and more. Students with a passion for the arts can audition for the Special Talent Enrichment Program, which offers a chance to study and participate in dance, theater, music or visual arts. The unmatched extracurricular opportunities and the dedication of every teacher and staff member help Marrington Elementary School maintain its strong reputation around Goose Creek.

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
