Marshall Elementary School

Summary:

Marshall Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in North Carrollton, Mississippi, with a student population of 364. The school is part of the Carroll County School District, which is ranked 104 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its diverse student population, which has become increasingly so in recent years, Marshall Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Mississippi elementary schools, ranking 336 out of 390 in 2023-2024. Its test scores are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with proficiency rates ranging from 10-39.6% in math and 20.4-39.6% in English Language Arts. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Additionally, Marshall Elementary has seen a steady decline in its student population, from 364 students in 2022-2023 to 364 students in 2023-2024, a decrease of over 8% in the past 3 years.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Grenada Elementary, which ranks 26 out of 390 Mississippi elementary schools and has significantly higher proficiency rates in all subjects and grade levels, Marshall Elementary stands out as the lowest-performing. This disparity is further highlighted by the fact that while Marshall Elementary has become more racially diverse over time, the nearby schools tend to have a more homogeneous student population. Despite the school's slightly higher spending per student ($8,489 in 2018-2019) compared to the state average, this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes, as Marshall Elementary's performance has declined over time, with its statewide ranking dropping from 262 out of 406 in 2016-2017 to 336 out of 390 in 2023-2024.

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.
