Summary

George C. Marshall Elementary serves 516 students in grades K–6 in Seaside, on the Monterey Peninsula. Its latest results show a strong position among nearby schools serving the same grades: it leads those peers in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. Most importantly, it is ahead of every nearby K–6 peer in all three subjects and is at or above California’s average in each.

Science is Marshall’s strongest subject relative to nearby schools, the district, and the state: 40% of students met proficiency, compared with a 22% average at nearby K–6 schools and 36% statewide. Math was 41%, versus 24% nearby and 38% statewide; ELA was 49%, versus 34% nearby and 49% statewide—essentially level with the state. Across the three subjects, Marshall’s lead over the six nearby K–6 schools averaged 15 to 18 percentage points, and it also exceeded the Monterey Peninsula Unified averages. Grade-level results are less even: grades 4–5 ELA and grade 5 math were particularly strong, while grade 3 math was 11 points below the state rate. The K–8 La Mesa scored higher overall, but its all-grade results are not a direct grade-span comparison.

Results rebounded broadly in 2025–2026: ELA rose 8 percentage points, math 7, and science 19 from the prior year, bringing all three to or above state averages after they had been below. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking rose from the 46th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 61st percentile, with 3 stars. Its subgroup rankings also show notable results: Military Connected Students ranked in the 87th percentile (16th of 123 schools), and Hispanic Students rose from the 26th to the 63rd percentile over three years, slightly above the schoolwide percentile. Context for families: the 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 22.2, and 55% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the second-lowest rate among same-district schools with that measure. Chronic absenteeism was 9% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 16% and state’s 18%.
