Summary

Marshall Elementary is a well-regarded K-5 public school serving 515 students in the Castro Valley Unified district, consistently ranking in the top 15% of all California elementary schools.

Academically, the school outperforms state averages, with particular strength in supporting English Language Learners and students in Special Education, who rank in the state's 97th and 92nd percentiles, respectively. While Jensen Ranch Elementary and Proctor Elementary in the same district have higher overall test scores, Marshall serves a more economically diverse population and achieves remarkable success with these student subgroups. The school's higher per-student spending appears to align with these strong outcomes for students with greater needs.

Notably, Marshall's performance stands in stark contrast to schools just a couple of miles away in the Hayward Unified district, such as Faith Ringgold School of Arts and Science, highlighting how district resources and policies can impact results. Within its own district, Marshall is a solid middle performer, more consistent than Stanton Elementary and excels at balancing high academic standards with effective support for a diverse student body.
