Summary

Marshall Middle is a public middle school in Houston, TX, serving 456 students in grades 6-8 within the Houston Independent School District (Isd), where over 94% of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Marshall Middle has achieved a remarkable turnaround, jumping from the 11th percentile statewide in 2022-2023 to the 50th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 2-star rating after four consecutive 1-star ratings. This improvement is especially impressive when compared to nearby schools like Fleming Middle and McReynolds Middle, which have seen little change. The school excels in serving high-need student populations, ranking in the 77th percentile for Special Education students and the 71st percentile for low socioeconomic status students—both 4-star ratings that far surpass any other nearby school. Additionally, Marshall Middle achieved a perfect 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam, significantly outperforming the district (57.63%) and state (54.03%).

While Marshall Middle's overall math scores remain below state averages, its strength in advanced math and support for English Language Learners (66th percentile) and Hispanic students (67th percentile) highlight its effective programs. However, the school's dropout rate of 2.9% is nearly four times higher than at nearby Hogg Middle (0.4%) and Hamilton Middle (0.7%), indicating a persistent challenge. Despite this, Marshall Middle's dramatic progress—achieved while serving a more economically disadvantaged population than its higher-performing neighbors—demonstrates a successful implementation of new strategies and a strong commitment to student growth.
