Summary:

The 50158 zip code in Iowa is home to two high schools: Marshalltown High School and Marshalltown Virtual Academy. Both schools are part of the Marshalltown Community School District, which is ranked 294th out of 313 districts in Iowa and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The performance metrics for both Marshalltown High School and Marshalltown Virtual Academy are consistently below state averages, indicating significant challenges in academic achievement and student outcomes. Marshalltown High School ranked 300th out of 340 Iowa high schools in 2024-2025, with a 1-star rating, while Marshalltown Virtual Academy ranked 333rd with a 0-star rating. Both schools had a 88.3% four-year graduation rate in 2023-2024, but their proficiency rates in ISASP English Language Arts and Mathematics were significantly below the state averages, ranging from 45.3% to 66.1% proficient for Marshalltown High School and 8.3% to 45.5% proficient for Marshalltown Virtual Academy.

The high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients (over 70% for both schools) suggest a socioeconomically disadvantaged student population, which may contribute to the schools' lower performance. Additionally, the stark difference in student-teacher ratios between the two schools (15.9 for Marshalltown High School and 35.7 for Marshalltown Virtual Academy) may be a factor in the virtual school's lower test scores and overall performance. Overall, the data indicates that both Marshalltown High School and Marshalltown Virtual Academy are struggling schools within a low-performing school district, and addressing the underlying issues may be crucial in improving the educational outcomes for students in this area.
