Marshall Junior High School

Summary:

Marshall Junior High School is a public middle school located in Marshall, Illinois, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 190 students. The school is part of the Marshall CUSD 2C district, which is ranked 397 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Marshall Junior High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 266th to 816th out of over 1,300 Illinois middle schools, and its SchoolDigger rating has also varied, ranging from 2 to 4 stars out of 5. Female students have consistently outperformed male students, and White students and students with disabilities have shown relatively stronger performance compared to other subgroups. However, low-income students and special education students have struggled, ranking lower in the state. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are generally below the state and district averages, but its science proficiency rates are significantly higher.

Interestingly, Crestwood Junior High School and Mayo Middle School, located within 16.9 and 14.9 miles of Marshall Junior High School, respectively, have consistently outperformed Marshall in terms of statewide rankings, test scores, and other key metrics. However, Marshall Junior High School's science proficiency rates are on par with or even higher than these nearby schools. The school's relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, with 38.95% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be contributing to its lower academic performance in certain areas. Addressing the rising chronic absenteeism and implementing strategies to support disadvantaged students could be key focus areas for the school's improvement efforts.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
