Marshall High School

Summary:

Marshall High School is a public high school serving 876 students in grades 9-12 in Marshall, Minnesota, which is part of the Marshall Public School District. The school stands out for its diverse student population, strong academic performance, and high graduation rates, though it faces some challenges in maintaining its academic achievements compared to nearby top-performing schools.

With a student body that is 63.36% White, 7.65% African American, 16.44% Hispanic, and 8.33% Asian, Marshall High School is more racially diverse than many of the surrounding schools, such as Minneota Secondary (91.43% White) and Lakeview Secondary (92.06% White). Academically, the school has shown strong performance, with 49.53% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in MCA-III Reading and 43.01% proficient or better in MCA-III Science, outpacing district and state averages. Additionally, the school maintains a high four-year graduation rate of 92.4%, significantly higher than the nearby Matec school (42.8%).

However, the school faces some challenges, including a gradual decline in racial diversity and fluctuations in academic performance. While Marshall High School outperforms Matec, it lags behind higher-performing schools like Tracy Secondary and Minneota Secondary. Additionally, the school serves a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, with 44.41% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may be a factor in its academic performance and an area for further support and investigation.

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.
