Summary:
The 83214 zip code area is home to two schools - Marsh Valley High School and Marsh Valley Middle School, both part of the Marsh Valley Joint District. While the schools serve a relatively homogeneous student population, with over 93% of students identifying as White, their academic performance is generally below district and state averages.
Marsh Valley High School has a four-year graduation rate of 78.8%, which is lower than the state average. Academically, the school struggles, with only 28.8% of students proficient or better in ISAT Math and 62.6% proficient or better in ISAT ELA, compared to district and state averages. In contrast, Marsh Valley Middle School has a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating higher levels of economic disadvantage, and its academic performance is also below district and state norms, with only 30.8% proficient or better in ISAT Math and 40.1% in ISAT ELA.
Despite the schools' challenges, they both maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios, with Marsh Valley High School at 17.2 and Marsh Valley Middle School at 16.4, which could be a positive factor in terms of individual attention and support for students. However, the overall data suggests that the schools in the 83214 zip code area are not particularly high-performing, and further investigation would be needed to understand the underlying factors and identify potential areas for improvement.
