Summary:
Marshall CUSD 2C has one high school, Marshall High School, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 350 students. Its latest results vary sharply by grade: grade 9 scores were above the state in English Language Arts (ELA) and math, while grade 11 results were mixed. The most important concern is grade 10, where results were well below state levels in all three tested subjects, especially ELA and science.
Because only one high school is listed, there is no meaningful school-to-school ranking; the clearest strengths and weaknesses are within Marshall High School itself. Grade 9 stood out positively: ELA proficiency was 71% versus 62% statewide, a 10-point advantage, and math was 48% versus 42%, a 6-point advantage; science was about even at 47%. Grade 10 was the low point: ELA was 34% versus 54% statewide, a 20-point deficit; science was 29% versus 48%, 19 points lower; and math was 25% versus 36%, 11 points lower. Grade 11 ACT results were stronger in ELA and math than the state by 7 and 1 points, respectively, but 6 points lower in science. In 2025–26, chronic absenteeism was 30%, compared with 24% statewide and 20% districtwide.
Across 2024–25 to 2025–26, average results improved in ELA and math but declined in science: Marshall’s subject averages changed from 53% to 54% in ELA, 32% to 38% in math, and 44% to 40% in science. SchoolDigger’s percentile standing fell from 73 in 2023–24 to 51 in 2025–26, a 22-point decline; its rank was 187 of 697, then 313 of 698, and most recently 303 of 620. Other context for families: the student–teacher ratio was 10.9:1, and 36% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. These figures describe one school, and the year-to-year test changes do not necessarily reflect the same students.
