Summary:
The Marshall Public Schools district in Michigan consists of 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 239 out of 613 school districts in Michigan and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Within the district, a few schools stand out. Walters Elementary and Hughes Elementary School are high-performing elementary schools, both with 5-star ratings and ranking in the top 10% of Michigan elementary schools. In contrast, Harrington Elementary School is an underperforming school, with test scores well below the district and state averages. At the high school level, Marshall High School outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing.
The district's graduation rate is 82.8%, with a dropout rate of 7.6%. Across the district, students perform best in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing on the SAT, but Mathematics is a relative weakness. The district also faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 29.5% across all schools. Additionally, the data suggests that increased spending per student does not necessarily translate to improved academic outcomes, as the school with the highest spending per student, Harrington Elementary, has the lowest academic performance.
