Marshall High School

Summary:

Marshall High School is a public high school serving 1,434 students in grades 9-12 in Marshall, Texas, which is part of the Marshall Independent School District. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of Texas high schools over the past decade, with significant underperformance across various student subgroups and low graduation rates.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Tatum High School, which has a 100% four-year graduation rate, Marshall High School struggles, with graduation rates ranging from 82.5% to 88.2% over the past five years. The school also faces challenges in student achievement, with proficiency rates on STAAR End-of-Course exams ranging from 18% to 57%, well below the state averages of 45% to 69%. These issues are particularly pronounced for the school's African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and low-income students, who perform significantly worse than their peers.

Despite the school's diverse student population, with a majority of students being African American (34%) and Hispanic (40%), Marshall High School has significant racial and socioeconomic achievement gaps. With over 72% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school faces significant challenges that may contribute to its overall underperformance. While the reasons for the school's struggles are complex, the lack of improvement over the past decade suggests a need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational strategies and resource allocation to provide a high-quality education for all students.

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.
