Summary:
Marshall Public Schools has one middle school, Marshall Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school faces some significant challenges, particularly in terms of academic performance and student engagement, that will require a concerted effort by the school and district to address.
Academically, Marshall Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math for 6th and 7th grades are below the state averages. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 28.6%, which can negatively impact student learning and outcomes. Socioeconomically, nearly 50% of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating the school serves a population with significant challenges.
On a positive note, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.7, which could provide more individualized attention and support for students. However, the school's spending of $14,863 per student, while higher than the state average, does not guarantee better academic outcomes. The district and school will need to carefully analyze how these resources are being allocated and utilized to support student learning and achievement.
