At the secondary level, Marshall High School performs reasonably well, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and a solid 82.8% graduation rate.

The district also includes two alternative schools, Marshall Academy and Calhoun County Juvenile Home, which cater to specialized student populations and have different performance metrics.
Across the district, there are some common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of 29.5% and socioeconomic disparities reflected in the wide range of free/reduced lunch rates, from 36.28% at Marshall High School to 75% at Calhoun County Juvenile Home. These factors may be contributing to the differences in academic performance observed across the schools in the Marshall Public Schools and Mar Lee School District.
