Marshall Middle

Summary:

Marshall Middle is a public magnet middle school in Houston, Texas, serving 607 students in grades 6-8. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 1.98% White, 15.65% African American, and 82.04% Hispanic.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.9, Marshall Middle consistently underperforms compared to the Houston Independent School District and the state of Texas in STAAR test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades at Marshall Middle were 40.61%, 33.15%, and 33.49%, respectively, compared to the district scores of 48.43%, 46.73%, and 48.89%, and the state scores of 54.45%, 52.08%, and 54.09%. Additionally, Marshall Middle has experienced a concerning increase in dropout rates, rising from 0.7% in 2018-2019 to 2.8% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the district and state averages.

When comparing Marshall Middle to other nearby schools within the Houston Independent School District, it becomes evident that Marshall Middle is one of the lower-performing schools in the area. For example, Hogg Middle, which is also a public magnet school, consistently outperforms Marshall Middle in STAAR test scores and has a higher statewide ranking. Despite the high per-student spending of $10,814 in the 2020-2021 school year, which is higher than the state average, Marshall Middle's academic performance does not seem to reflect this investment.

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.
