Marshall School District

The Marshall School District in Wisconsin operates 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a diverse student population, with a significant percentage of students from low-income families.

Among the standout schools in the district, Marshall High School stands out with a high 4-year graduation rate of 96.0% and a low dropout rate of 1.3% for the 2022-2023 school year. The school has also shown improvement in its performance on state assessments, with the percentage of students proficient or better in Social Studies, English Language Arts, and Science increasing from 2022-2023 to 2023-2024. In contrast, Marshall Middle School has generally performed below the district and state averages on state assessments, with the exception of 8th-grade Social Studies.

The JEDI Virtual K-12 alternative school also stands out, with an impressive 90.9% 4-year graduation rate for the 2022-2023 school year and a zero dropout rate. Interestingly, the alternative school spends significantly less per student at $2,786 in the 2020-2021 school year, compared to the district's traditional schools, which range from $11,434 to $13,296 per student. This suggests the alternative school model may be operating more efficiently, and could be an area for further exploration and potential replication within the district.
