Marshall County School District

Summary:

The Marshall County School District in Mississippi operates 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 98 out of 130 school districts in the state and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Among the standout schools in the district, Mary Reid School (K-4) has the highest performance on state assessments, with over 50% of 3rd and 4th graders proficient or better in math, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Potts Camp High School (5-12) also stands out, with the highest performance on high school end-of-course exams in the district. Meanwhile, the small Galena Elementary School (K-7) impresses with 80% of 3rd graders proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Math.

However, the district faces significant challenges, with all schools having 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of poverty. Additionally, there are notable achievement gaps between the district/school performance and the state averages, particularly in math and English Language Arts. While some schools are performing relatively well, others are struggling, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support to improve outcomes across the district.
