Summary:
Marsing Joint District in Idaho contains a single middle school, Marsing Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 with an enrollment of 218 students. While the school has some positive metrics, such as higher-than-average math and science proficiency rates, it also faces challenges, including a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate and a low statewide ranking.
Marsing Middle School is ranked 87 out of 166 Idaho middle schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 15.0% is higher than the state average, and its English language arts proficiency rate of 49.1% is lower than the state average of 53.9%. However, the school's math and science proficiency rates are above the state averages, at 46.9% and 45.6%, respectively.
The school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as indicated by the high percentage of students (51.38%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's per-student spending is slightly higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio is slightly lower, these factors alone do not appear to be enough to overcome the school's performance challenges. To improve, Marsing Middle School may need to focus on addressing chronic absenteeism and improving its English language arts instruction and support.
