Summary

George C. Marshall Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 516 students in the Monterey Peninsula Unified district in Seaside, CA, with a student-teacher ratio of 22.2.

The school presents a mixed picture with notable strengths and challenges. A significant strength is its exceptionally low rate of chronic student absenteeism, which is less than half the state average, indicating a strong school culture of attendance. Academically, its mathematics performance is a relative bright spot, outperforming the district average. However, the school's overall statewide ranking has declined over several years, and it shows a significant weakness in science proficiency. Performance also varies widely by grade, with 4th and 6th grades showing stronger results than 5th grade. The school has seen a rapid increase in the number of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting changing community needs.

Compared to nearby schools, George C. Marshall Elementary sits in the middle of the pack. It outperforms schools like the Dual Language Academy of the Monterey Peninsula and Martin Luther King, but lags behind higher-performing schools such as La Mesa, which excels across all subjects. The school spends more per student than some comparable schools like Marina Vista Elementary. It's important to note that all traditional public schools in this comparison within the Monterey Peninsula Unified district share a similar mid-to-low state ranking, pointing to broader district-wide factors.
