Marshall Elementary School

Summary:

Marshall Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Marshall, Arkansas, serving grades K-3 with a total enrollment of 293 students. The school is part of the Searcy County School District, which is ranked 57 out of 252 districts in Arkansas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Marshall Elementary School has shown a mixed performance compared to state and district averages. While the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Reading were higher than the state, they were lower than the district. In Mathematics and Science, the school's proficiency rates were lower than both the state and district averages. Compared to nearby Timbo Elementary School, Marshall Elementary generally performed better in English Language Arts and Reading, but lower in Mathematics and Science.

Despite these academic challenges, Marshall Elementary School has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.8 to 14.9 over the past three school years. However, the school serves a high-poverty student population, with 98.98% to 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, similar to the 97.67% rate at Timbo Elementary School. This suggests that the school may face unique challenges in supporting the academic and social-emotional needs of its students, and may require additional resources and targeted interventions to help close achievement gaps.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
