Summary

Glenn R Marshall Elementary School is a public elementary school in Richmond, Kentucky, serving 480 students in grades 1-5. The school is part of the Madison County School District, which is ranked 27th out of 157 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Glenn R Marshall Elementary consistently performs well academically, ranking in the top half of Kentucky elementary schools over the past decade. The school's 5th-grade reading proficiency rate is 18 percentage points higher than the state average, and its 3rd-grade math performance significantly outpaces the district and state. The school also shows strong performance for its Hispanic and White student subgroups, as well as its special education and low-income students, ranking in the top 10% to 40% of Kentucky elementary schools in these areas. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 22.2% to 30.3%, is a concern that may be impacting its overall academic performance.

Compared to nearby schools, Glenn R Marshall generally outperforms Shannon Johnson Elementary and Silver Creek Elementary, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Boonesborough Elementary and Kirksville Elementary in certain academic areas, such as 5th-grade writing and social studies. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $17,674, its student-teacher ratio of 14.8 is not significantly lower than the nearby schools, suggesting the additional funding may not be directly translating into smaller class sizes.
