Summary

Marshall Opportunity High School is a public high school located in Albion, Michigan, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 113 students. The school is part of the Marshall Public Schools district, which is ranked 239 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's small size, it faces significant academic challenges. Marshall Opportunity High School consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Michigan high schools, with a statewide ranking between 641-712 out of 735-739 schools in recent years. The school's performance on standardized tests is significantly lower than the state and district averages, with only 9.09% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in M-Step Science in 2024-2025, compared to 50.7% for the Marshall Public Schools district and 34.9% for the state. Additionally, the school has had a four-year graduation rate ranging from 73.9% to 89.5% in recent years, lower than the state average and the performance of the district's main high school, Marshall High School, which had an 82.8% four-year graduation rate in 2023-2024.

Factors that may contribute to the school's underperformance include high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 28.7% to 69.7% in recent years, and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 80.53% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, compared to 36.28% at Marshall High School. The school's high spending per student ($17,903 in 2023-2024) may indicate a need to evaluate the allocation of resources and ensure they are being used effectively to support student learning and achievement. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach that considers the unique needs and circumstances of the school's student population.
