Summary

Marshall High is a public high school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serving 692 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Milwaukee School District, which is ranked 415 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Marshall High consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Wisconsin, ranking 431 out of 431 high schools in the state for the 2024-2025 school year. The school's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 4.08% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in Social Studies, compared to the Milwaukee School District's score of 21.73% and the state's score of 47.67%. Marshall High also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 17.7% to 87.2% in recent years, and a higher dropout rate, ranging from 1.3% to 11.2%.

While the nearby schools, such as Milwaukee Excellence Charter School, Carmen Mid/High Northwest Campus, and Milwaukee School of Languages, generally perform better academically, they also serve a high percentage of students from low-income families, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 60.78% to 97.44%. This suggests that the broader socioeconomic challenges in the Milwaukee area may be a significant factor in the academic performance of these schools.
