Summary

Marshall Traditional School is a PK–8 school at 1433 Byron Drive in South Bend, IN, serving about 400 students in the South Bend Community School Corp. For 2025–2026, it ranks 723rd of 1,015 Indiana schools — 29th percentile with 1 star — after improving to 36th percentile and 2 stars in 2024–2025, so it remains a bottom-third school statewide but generally outperforms its immediate South Bend district peers.

Academically, Marshall Traditional School beats the district average in all-grades English, math, science, and 5th-grade social studies. It also has stronger ELA, science, and social studies than nearby same-district schools like Madison S.T.E.A.M. Academy, Nuner Fine Arts Academy, Monroe Elementary School, and Lincoln Elementary School, though Lincoln is slightly higher in all-grades math. Still, Marshall is below state proficiency in nearly every grade-level subject. Fifth-grade social studies is a bright spot at 44.44%, close to the state’s 47.2% and far above the district’s 22.71%. The biggest concern is 6th grade: ELA 10.42%, math 8.33%, and science 18.75%, all below the district and far below the state.

Attendance is another major issue for Marshall Traditional School. Its 2024–2025 chronic absenteeism rate was 36.4%, better than the district’s 40.3% and same-district nearby schools, but more than double the state’s 16.7%. Nearby out-of-district schools do better: Battell Elementary School in School City of Mishawaka is at 24.8%, and Meadow's Edge Elementary School in Penn-Harris-Madison School Corp is at 10.8%. Marshall’s poverty rate has fallen to 46.75%, and it spends about $15,119 per student with an 11.9 student-teacher ratio. Yet Battell and Meadow’s Edge get higher proficiency with lower spending, suggesting resources alone are not the whole story.
