Summary:
The Marshall Elementary School is the sole elementary school located in Eureka, Kansas, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 320 students. While Marshall Elementary has some areas of strength, such as higher-than-average 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency and 5th grade Science proficiency, the school's overall academic performance in ELA and Math is generally below the state averages in Kansas.
One concerning trend is that Marshall Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, dropping from 334 out of 660 Kansas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 426 out of 656 in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school faces challenges related to a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 70.62% in 2023-2024. These socioeconomic factors can impact student learning and achievement.
Despite its small size, with a student-teacher ratio of 11.3 to 1, Marshall Elementary School's performance appears to be an area of concern for the Eureka community. Targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the school's declining statewide ranking, below-average academic proficiency, and high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism in order to improve student outcomes and ensure all children in Eureka have access to a high-quality education.
