Marshall Traditional School ranks 687 th of 1010 Indiana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Marshall Traditional School is an elementary school in South Bend, Indiana, serving 397 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the South Bend Community School Corporation, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of Marshall Traditional School's key strengths is its academic performance. The school outperforms the South Bend district in proficiency rates for ILEARN/English Language Arts (32.26% vs. 21.88%) and ILEARN/Math (30.32% vs. 16.57%). When compared to nearby schools like Madison S.T.E.A.M. Academy, McKinley Elementary School, and Nuner Fine Arts Academy, Marshall Traditional School generally has higher proficiency rates. Additionally, the school has a more racially diverse student population compared to the surrounding area, with 41.81% White, 21.66% African American, 18.39% Hispanic, and 17.13% two or more races.

However, Marshall Traditional School faces some challenges. Despite a decrease in chronic absenteeism from 39.5% to 32.5%, the rate is still significantly higher than the state average. The school has also seen fluctuations in its per-student spending, ranging from $3,612 to $14,773, which may impact its ability to provide consistent resources and support for students. Overall, Marshall Traditional School's academic performance and diverse student population are strengths, but the school must address chronic absenteeism and funding stability to ensure continued success.

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.
