Summary:

The West Marshall Community School District in Iowa consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district's schools have demonstrated strong academic performance, with West Marshall High School ranking 33 out of 340 Iowa high schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

West Marshall High School stands out as a top performer, with 92.3% of 10th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and an impressive 88.3% four-year graduation rate. Meanwhile, West Marshall Elementary School also excels, outperforming the state average on ISASP tests across multiple grade levels and subject areas, such as 90.9% of 3rd graders being proficient or better in Mathematics.

While the district's schools demonstrate strong academic achievement, there are some areas of concern. All three schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging around 21.6% in 2023-2024. Additionally, the elementary and middle schools have higher free and reduced lunch rates compared to the high school, which may indicate potential equity issues within the district that warrant further investigation.
