Summary

Marshall Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 245 students in the San Francisco Unified district, located in a high-need community where about 80% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, currently ranking in the bottom 2% of all California elementary schools with very low proficiency rates in English (12.2%), Math (7.8%), and Science (9.1%). This represents a steep decline from a decade ago when the school was performing at an average level. The school also has a high rate of chronic student absenteeism at 28.8%, though this has improved from much higher levels in recent years. Performance is particularly low for students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

When compared to nearby schools, Marshall Elementary's performance is notably lower than others in the area, including high-performing schools like McKinley Elementary and Milk (Harvey) Civil Rights Elementary, despite similar student demographics and per-student spending. This suggests that factors within the school's control, such as instructional quality or curriculum, may be influencing outcomes. The school has a higher student-teacher ratio than many neighboring schools, which may present additional challenges.
