Summary:

The Marsing Joint District is served by a single elementary school, Marsing Elementary School, which enrolls 360 students in grades PK–5 in the small city of Marsing, Idaho. Because there is only one elementary school in the district, all grade-level comparisons shown for the district and school are identical for grades 3–5, making the school the sole focus for families in this area.

Marsing Elementary School is a high-poverty school, with 70.56% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and it has a student-teacher ratio of 21.4. The school’s state ranking fell sharply in the 2025-2026 school year to the 21st percentile (275 out of 346 schools) after sitting at the 40th percentile the year before. This drop aligns with significant proficiency declines: math fell from 43.7% to 38.4% and English language arts dropped from 50.3% to 41.8%, leaving the school below state averages in both subjects. However, there are bright spots: 5th grade ELA proficiency in 2025-2026 was exactly equal to the state at 55.2%, and 4th grade math slightly edged out the state average (48.3% vs. 48.0%). Grade-level results are inconsistent overall, with 3rd grade math lagging the state by 14.7 points and 4th grade ELA behind by 16.3 points, suggesting strengths are tied to specific cohorts rather than schoolwide trends.

Science performance presents a mixed picture. In 2024-2025, the school’s all-grades science proficiency was 46.2%, above both the district (39.4%) and state (42.6%), but in 2025-2026 only 5th grade science was reported at 32.8% versus 44.0% statewide. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism at the school is 11.9%, better than the state rate of 13.8% but higher than the district average of 9.5%. The most recent spending figure is from 2018-2019 at $7,814 per student, which is too old to draw current conclusions. Overall, Marsing Elementary School is a mid- to lower-performing school that showed promise in 2024-2025 but experienced a concerning downturn in 2025-2026, with notable strengths in 5th grade ELA and a few grade-level subjects that families may want to explore further.
