Summary

Marsing Middle School is a public middle school located in Marsing, Idaho, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 218 students. The school is part of the Marsing Joint District, which is ranked 48 out of 96 districts in Idaho and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Marsing Middle School consistently performs above the state and district averages in ISAT Math and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grade levels. In 2024-2025, the school's ISAT Math proficiency for all grades was 46.9%, compared to the district's 45.5% and the state's 43.1%. Similarly, Marsing Middle School's ISAT ELA proficiency for all grades was 49.1%, compared to the district's 51% and the state's 53.9%. However, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13% to 21.6% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average.

Marsing Middle School serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 32.16% to 59.62% over the past few years. Despite these challenges, the school's higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, such as South Middle School and Summitvue Middle School, may indicate that it has access to more resources and support for its students. Overall, Marsing Middle School appears to be a relatively strong-performing middle school within its district, but the high chronic absenteeism rates and socioeconomic factors may require further attention and support to ensure continued student success.

If you want a school that doesn't communicate disciplinary actions to you the parent, this school is for you. If you want a school that sends permission slips home for a trip, and then doesn't take your child (again without any communication)... This school is for you. If you want absent minded teachers that lose homework and blame the student.. only to find the assignment at the teachers home, this school is for you. If you want a school that doesn't abide by its own student handbook, you guessed it... Close Quote
