Summary

Dr. Peter Marshall Elementary is a large K-6 public school serving 714 students in Anaheim's Magnolia Elementary district, known for achieving strong academic results with a student population where two-thirds qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school consistently performs above California state averages in math and English, and it stands out for its exceptional support for specific student groups, ranking in the top tier statewide for homeless students and English Language Learners. While its overall state ranking has dipped in recent years, its actual test scores have remained stable. The school shows a remarkable pattern of student growth, with sixth graders performing exceptionally well, especially in English. However, there has been a notable recent decline in performance for students in special education, which is an area the school is likely addressing.

Compared to nearby schools, Dr. Peter Marshall delivers impressive outcomes. It significantly outperforms schools like Mabel L. Pendleton Elementary and James A. Whitaker Elementary in math, despite serving a similar community. Within its own district, it is a strong performer, ranking just behind peers like Dr. Albert Schweitzer Leadership Academy and Walt Disney, and it does so with mid-level per-student spending. The school has also successfully improved student attendance, which is lower than the state average.
