Summary:
Marsing Joint District is home to just one middle school, Marsing Middle School, which serves 200 students in grades 6-8 in the Marsing, Idaho area. As the district's only middle school, it carries the full responsibility for middle-level education, and its performance is particularly important to the district's overall standing.
English Language Arts is the school's clear strength. All-grade ELA proficiency reaches 57.8%, surpassing both the district (52.0%) and state (54.0%) averages. The 8th grade ELA score of 63.6% is the highest proficiency rate in the entire dataset, and 6th grade ELA is also well above the state. Sixth grade math is another bright spot at 55.9%, a 13-point advantage over the state's 42.5%. However, 7th grade presents a notable challenge: math proficiency drops to 37.1% and ELA to 48.4%, both below state averages. Eighth grade science also trails the state, at 39.4% versus 42.9%.
Encouragingly, the school's statewide ranking has climbed from the 31st percentile in 2016-17 to the 54th percentile in 2025-26, earning a 3-star rating. Chronic absenteeism sits at 11.2%, better than the state's 13.8% but above the district's 9.5%. Year-over-year, ELA proficiency jumped 8.7 points while math dipped 3 points. With strong ELA foundations and clear targets for improvement in 7th grade math and 8th grade science, the school is well-positioned to continue its upward trajectory with focused support for its students.
