Summary:
The 50141 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, East Marshall Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the East Marshall Community School District. While the school has maintained a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years, its academic performance shows a mix of strengths and weaknesses compared to state averages.
East Marshall Elementary School has an enrollment of 284 students and a student-teacher ratio of 13.4. The school's test scores indicate that 4th and 5th grade students perform above the state average in English Language Arts, but 3rd grade students and all grade levels in mathematics fall below the state average. Additionally, the school's 5th grade science proficiency is significantly lower than the state average. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6%, which could be a contributing factor to its overall performance.
Despite the school's relatively higher spending per student of $12,045, the data suggests that funding and resources may not be the primary driver of the school's performance. The school serves a population with a high percentage of students (44.37%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may impact academic outcomes. Further investigation into the specific factors contributing to the school's performance, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and support programs, could provide valuable insights to help improve student outcomes.
