Summary

John Marshall Elementary is a 486-student K–5 school in Glendale, serving an area with nearby elementary schools in Glendale and Los Angeles, and is part of Glendale Unified. Its latest test results are the clearest concern: in 2025–2026, proficiency was 35% in English Language Arts, 27% in math and 21% in science—below both state and district rates in all three subjects.

Compared with 10 nearby schools, John Marshall was lowest in ELA, second-lowest in science and third-lowest in math. Its results were 18 points below the nearby average in ELA (35% vs. 53%), 21 points below in math (27% vs. 48%) and 19 points below in science (21% vs. 40%). It also trailed the state by 14 points in ELA, 11 in math and 15 in science, and the district by 26, 27 and 27 points, respectively. Math is its closest result to the state benchmark; ELA is closest to the district and nearby-school averages. There is no subject in which the school is close to those averages.

Results have declined overall: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA proficiency fell 11 percentage points, math fell 5 and science fell 2, despite small latest-year increases in math and science. SchoolDigger’s overall standing also dropped from the 52nd percentile and 3 stars in 2022–2023 to the 29th percentile and 1 star in 2025–2026. Attendance improved over a similar period, with chronic absenteeism falling from 32% to 15%. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 23.1:1, close to the nearby average of 23.4:1; 67% of students were free/reduced-lunch eligible, compared with a nearby average of 60%. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness rankings also differ notably by group: White students ranked at the 6th percentile, well below the school’s overall 29th, while Hispanic students ranked at the 45th percentile, above the overall standing.
