Summary:
Zip code 83639 is home to just one middle school, Marsing Middle School, which serves roughly 200 students in grades 6–8 within the Marsing Joint District, a small, predominantly rural area where 63% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
As the only middle school in the zip code, Marsing Middle School is the clear focal point, and its results are a mix of strengths and challenges. The school outperforms its district in both math (43.9% proficient vs. 39.7%) and English Language Arts (57.8% vs. 52.0%), and it edges out the state average in math while posting a solidly above-average ELA score (57.8% vs. 54.0% statewide). The standout grade is 6th, where math proficiency reaches 55.9% compared to 42.5% statewide and ELA hits 61.0% versus 51.5%. However, 7th grade shows a clear slump, with math (37.1%) and ELA (48.4%) both falling below state averages, representing sharp drops from 6th-grade performance. Eighth graders rebound strongly in ELA (63.6% vs. 54.5% statewide) but lag slightly in math (39.4% vs. 41.2%) and more notably in science (39.4% vs. 42.9%). The school has also improved its state ranking from the 31st percentile in 2016–2017 to the 54th percentile in 2025–2026, earning a 3-star rating.
Attendance is another positive note: chronic absenteeism sits at 11.2%, below the state average of 13.8%, though above the district's 9.5%. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.9-to-1, Marsing Middle School offers relatively personalized attention. Overall, this is a high-poverty school that performs at or above state averages in key areas, particularly ELA and 6th-grade math, but families should be aware of the 7th-grade dip and the relative weakness in 8th-grade science when considering the school's profile.
