While performance varies across the district, several standout schools demonstrate strong academic achievement, including North Marshall Middle School, Central Elementary School, and South Marshall Elementary School, all of which have earned 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger.

The data reveals significant variation in school performance across the district, with some schools, like Marshall County High School, achieving a strong 94.3% four-year graduation rate, while others, such as the alternative MC Academy, have a lower 82.5% graduation rate. Similarly, proficiency rates on state assessments range widely, with North Marshall Middle and Central Elementary excelling, particularly in reading and writing, while other schools struggle, especially in math.
