Summary

John Marshall Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 323 students in Westminster, part of the Garden Grove Unified School District, and it stands out for achieving solid academic results while serving a community with significant economic need.

The school performs notably well in English and Math compared to state averages, and its greatest strength is its exceptional support for students learning English, ranking in the state's top 6% for this group. It benefits from more funding per student and a lower student-teacher ratio than many nearby schools, such as Leo Carrillo Elementary, which likely helps it achieve these results. However, the school faces a clear challenge with science scores, which are below both district and state averages, especially when compared to neighbors like John Murdy Elementary or Star View Elementary.

While attendance has improved significantly, it remains an area for focus. Performance also varies by grade level, with some grades excelling and others needing more support. It's interesting to note that John Marshall is located very close to some of the state's highest-ranked schools, like Ethan B. Allen Elementary, yet it serves a very different student population, making its academic achievements within its context quite respectable.
