Summary:
The Marshall County Central Schools district in Minnesota consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Newfolden Elementary and Viking Elementary) and 1 high school (Marshall County Central High). The district's schools have a predominantly white student population and relatively high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Newfolden Elementary stands out as a top-performing school, consistently scoring above the district and state averages on state assessments in math, reading, and science. In the 2023-2024 school year, Newfolden Elementary had over 50% of students proficient or better in both math and reading, placing it among the top elementary schools in Minnesota. In contrast, while Marshall County Central High has a strong 4-year graduation rate and positive trends in reading and science, its overall academic performance on state assessments is below the state average, presenting an opportunity for improvement.
The district's schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 11.1 to 13.5 students per teacher. However, the lack of diversity in the student population may be an area for the district to explore, as diversity can provide valuable learning experiences and better prepare students for the diverse world they will encounter after graduation.
