Marshall High School

Summary:

Marshall High School is a public charter high school located in Middletown, Ohio, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 325 students. The school is part of the Marshall High School District, which is ranked 753 out of 839 districts in Ohio and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Despite its diverse student population, Marshall High School has consistently struggled with poor academic performance and student outcomes. The school has ranked in the bottom quartile of Ohio high schools for the past decade, with its ranking ranging from 722 out of 791 in 2008-2009 to 788 out of 864 in the current 2023-2024 school year. This is reflected in the school's extremely low four-year graduation rates, which have ranged from 23.9% in 2020-2021 to a high of 28.7% in 2019-2020, significantly lower than the state average. Additionally, the school has experienced alarmingly high rates of chronic absenteeism, reaching as high as 98.9% in the 2020-2021 school year.

Compared to nearby schools like Butler Technical Natural Science Center and WCCC @ Atrium, which are part of the Butler Technology & Career Development Schools and Warren County Vocational School districts, respectively, Marshall High School's academic performance is significantly lower across all subject areas. This highlights the need for the school to learn from and potentially collaborate with these higher-performing institutions to improve its own practices and outcomes for the benefit of its diverse student population.

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.
