High Schools in Marshall Public Schools

The Marshall Public Schools district in Michigan is home to three high schools: Marshall High School, Michigan Youth Challenge Academy, and Marshall Opportunity High School. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and offer a range of academic programs and extracurricular activities.

Marshall High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 155 out of 739 Michigan high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in test scores, particularly in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing on the SAT, and maintains a relatively low dropout rate of 7.6% and a 82.8% four-year graduation rate. In contrast, Marshall Opportunity High School struggles academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state.

The data also reveals differences in socioeconomic factors and resource allocation among the schools. Marshall Opportunity High School has the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 80.53%, suggesting a more economically disadvantaged student population. Despite this, the school receives the highest spending per student at $17,903, compared to $14,585 at Marshall High School and $15,618 at Michigan Youth Challenge Academy. This higher funding may be an effort to address the needs of the more disadvantaged student population at Marshall Opportunity High School.
