Carol responds:
Undoubtedly the whole school knows about Harry's multiple detentions,
but they probably don't know about the blood-letting quill as he tells
only Ron and Hermione what happens there, refusing to tell either
McGonagall or Dumbledore. Only one other student in OoP receives a
similar detention, Lee Jordan, for telling Umbridge that she's
violating her own decree for telling the Weasley Twins not to play
Exploding Snap in class (OoP Am. ed. 551). Harry recommends essence of
murtlap for the cuts on Lee's hand. We hear nothing about Lee
receiving additional detentions (Umbridge doesn't know he's the one
who puts the Niffler in her office), and no other student is mentioned
as receiving detention from Umbridge.
Marietta is a Ravenclaw and a sixth-year, so she would have no classes
with either Harry or Lee. It is quite possible, then, that she knew
nothing about the detentions.
