John Marshall Senior High

Summary:

John Marshall Senior High is a public high school in Rochester, Minnesota, serving 1,573 students in grades 8-12. The school is part of the Rochester Public School District, which is ranked 205 out of 463 districts in the state.

John Marshall Senior High stands out for its diverse student population, with 49.9% White, 20.09% African American, 8.01% Hispanic, 13.29% Asian, and 7.88% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by MCA-III test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages, with proficiency rates in Math (22.08%), Reading (53.87%), and Science (30.73%) all below the benchmarks. Additionally, the school has seen a decline in its four-year graduation rate, from 93.6% in 2018-2019 to 88.6% in 2021-2022, and an increase in its dropout rate from 2.3% to 4.4% during the same period, which is higher than nearby Mayo Senior High and Century Senior High.

John Marshall Senior High faces several challenges, including a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 31.68% in 2020-2021 to 43.23% in 2022-2023. The school's lower rankings for African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students also highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address achievement gaps and ensure equitable outcomes for all students. To improve student outcomes, the school and district should consider implementing strategies to address the specific needs of the student population and learn from the practices of higher-performing nearby schools.

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.
