Schools

Preparing the Future, Today

Washington County, Ohio, is host to six school systems dedicated to providing the county’s children with a top-notch education that will prepare them for work, college and life.

Schools throughout the county boast highly qualified teachers, small class sizes, involved parents and dedicated administrators. While geographically a large county, school districts are nestled in key population centers, creating a “neighborhood school” feeling for even the largest high schools. Recent report cards issued by the Ohio Department of Education rated Washington County schools in the “effective” or “continuously improving” categories, which is an achievement not celebrated by some of the wealthiest counties in Ohio.

Aside from first rate public schools, Washington County is home to a number of alternative learning opportunities including religiously-affiliated private schools and preschools.

The County also has public and private two-and four-year colleges The Washington County Career Center provides students of all ages with hands-on training programs for a number of sought after employment opportunities county-wide. Washington State Community College is a two-year state institution and Marietta College is a four year private college.

Finally, numerous special education programs across the region provide structured learning programs and one-on-one therapy for students on all educational levels.
