East Marshall Community School District

The East Marshall Community School District in Iowa consists of three schools: one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. The district serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the relatively high free and reduced lunch rates across the schools.

Among the standout schools in the district, East Marshall Senior High School ranks in the top 37% of Iowa high schools and boasts a strong 4-year graduation rate of 88.3%. The school also outperforms the district and state averages in several academic areas, including 10th-grade English Language Arts and Science proficiency. East Marshall Middle School also stands out, ranking in the top 63% of Iowa middle schools and demonstrating high proficiency rates in 8th-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics.

However, the district as a whole faces challenges, with all three schools reporting a chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, there is variation in the School Digger ratings among the individual schools, with East Marshall Elementary School and East Marshall Middle School receiving lower ratings compared to the higher-rated East Marshall Senior High School.
