Summary

John Marshall Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 688 students in Anaheim, part of the Anaheim Elementary district, which ranks in the bottom quarter of California districts.

Academically, the school performs below state averages, with about 30% of students proficient in English and 22% in math, similar to other schools in its district but significantly lower than nearby schools in different districts like Juliette Low School of the Arts or Dr. Peter Marshall. A notable concern is a steep drop in math proficiency in 5th and 6th grades. The school serves a high-need population, with over 80% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and shows wide performance gaps among student groups, with particularly low outcomes for homeless students.

Despite challenges, there are positive signs: chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically from 36.5% to 17.4%, now better than some neighboring schools like Loara Elementary, and the school spends over $22,900 per student. The stark contrast with higher-performing schools just blocks away in the Magnolia and Fullerton Elementary districts, which serve similar communities, suggests district-level factors heavily influence outcomes.
