Summary:
The city of Marshall, Missouri is home to 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. While the district as a whole faces challenges, with most schools ranking in the bottom half of their respective categories statewide, a few standout schools stand out within the district.
Eastwood Elementary and Southeast Elementary have the best student-teacher ratios in the district, at 12.4 and 10.4 respectively. Eastwood Elementary also boasts higher-than-average proficiency rates in math and English language arts, and has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, the highest in the district. Meanwhile, Hardeman Elementary stands out with a predominantly white student body and a significantly lower free and reduced lunch rate of 31.88%, compared to the district's range of 56.99% to 69.19%.
However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with low statewide rankings and disparities in student performance, particularly in mathematics. For example, the 8th-grade math proficiency rate at Bueker Middle is only 12.9%, compared to the state average of 30%. Addressing these disparities and the socioeconomic factors impacting the Marshall School District will be crucial for improving the overall quality of education in the area.
