Conversely, the school's Multi-racial students have consistently lower proficiency rates compared to other subgroups, both at the school and state levels. Additionally, Marshall Middle has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 18.4% in 2018-2019 to 23.9% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and the nearby Edison Middle School.

Interestingly, Marshall Middle's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than the nearby Franklin Middle and Edison Middle schools, which are also part of the Janesville School District. However, the nearby Parkview Junior High and Edgerton Middle schools, which are in different districts, consistently outperform Marshall Middle on the Forward Exam across multiple subject areas and grade levels.

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.
