Summary

Marshall Ranch Elementary School is a public school located in Glendale, Arizona, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 690 students. It is part of the Peoria Unified School District, which is ranked 138 out of 289 districts in Arizona and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite increased per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Marshall Ranch Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools, typically between 500-650 out of around 1,000 schools. The school's SchoolDigger rating has fluctuated between 2-3 stars out of 5, indicating below-average performance compared to other Arizona schools. While the school performs relatively better with Native American students and multi-racial students, it struggles with the performance of several student subgroups, including female students, male students, Asian students, African American students, Hispanic students, and students with special education needs.

I will say this school has been a nightmare for my kids . We are in African American family (Black) the first day of school my daughter got accused of stealing headphones which she don't need she has iPhone and really pretty pic headphones . The principal stated that she been here a while she wouldn't do anything like that well that's the first accident that happen first grader came home to tell me she got called a nigger by a white kid . Third accident my son teacher gave him a bad grade because he didn't print the words out he wrote them out on the poster . Really a F she could at least did a low C for effort . I know she want my child to fail. For the record just because were black don't mean we're dirty . Trust i really failed my kids by letting them go to this racist school . Well thank God for homeschool . Be blessed everyone remember we all bled the same blood we just different color Close Quote
