Summary

Marshall Ranch Elementary School serves 662 students in grades PK–8 in Glendale, Arizona. Its latest all-grades results are 38% proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) and 27% in math, below both state averages and the Peoria Unified School District averages. The clearest concern is upper-grade math: proficiency is 14% in seventh grade, 13 points below the state and 15 below the district, and 23% in eighth grade, 7 points below the state and 11 below the district.

Fifth grade is a relative bright spot: math proficiency is 45%, 7 points above the state and 3 above the district; ELA is 41%, 3 points above the state and equal to the district. Across all grades, Marshall’s ELA result is closer to the state than its math result, but eighth-grade ELA is weak at 27%, compared with 39% statewide and 42% in the district. Nearby-school averages are about 41% for ELA and 32% for math, putting Marshall about 3 and 5 points below those averages, respectively. Its overall results are therefore below local averages, though performance varies considerably by grade.

SchoolDigger places Marshall at the 43rd statewide percentile, with 2 stars, in 2025–2026; that is down 2 percentile points from 2023–2024 and about 10 points below the current nearby-school average. Science trends differ by grade: fifth-grade proficiency fell from 43% in 2022–2023 to 31% in 2024–2025, while eighth grade rose from 29% to 33%. The student-teacher ratio was 16.9 in 2024–2025, the third highest among nearby schools; Copperwood School had a similar ratio of 16.8 but higher all-grades results. Marshall’s reported free/reduced-lunch rate was 45% in 2022–2023; nearby figures are unavailable, and this is context rather than an explanation of test results. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings also flag differences from the overall standing: the school ranked at the 10th percentile for White students in 2025–2026, versus the 43rd overall, and at the 12th percentile for special education students in 2022–2023, after ranking at the 56th percentile in 2020–2021.

Open Quote I will say this school has been a nightmare for my kids . We are in African American family (Black) the first day of school my daughter got accused of stealing headphones which she don't need she has iPhone and really pretty pic headphones . The principal stated that she been here a while she wouldn't do anything like that well that's the first accident that happen first grader came home to tell me she got called a nigger by a white kid . Third accident my son teacher gave him a bad grade because he didn't print the words out he wrote them out on the poster . Really a F she could at least did a low C for effort . I know she want my child to fail. For the record just because were black don't mean we're dirty . Trust i really failed my kids by letting them go to this racist school . Well thank God for homeschool . Be blessed everyone remember we all bled the same blood we just different color Close Quote
