Summary

Marshall High School is a public high school in Marshall, MN — a regional hub in the southwestern part of the state — serving grades 9–12 with 886 students as part of the Marshall Public School District. It is by far the largest school in its local comparison group, and its 2025–26 rank is 273 of 473 schools (42nd percentile, 2 stars), down from the 66th percentile in both 2023–24 and 2024–25. That drop is the single most important thing to understand about the school right now.

Test results in 2025–26 are mixed. Eleventh-grade Math (36.1%) is Marshall's relative strength — slightly above the state's 35.3% and above Lakeview Secondary (33.3%). Reading and Science are the weak spots: 10th-grade Reading is 30.7%, below the state's 42.5% and below every reporting nearby school, including Tracy Secondary (57.1%), Minneota Secondary (46.0%), and Lakeview (37.5%). Science End of Course is 23.6%, below the state's 35.0%. Compared with 2024–25, Reading fell about 17 points and Science about 11 points. Note that the 2025–26 Reading exam changed to a new version, so year-to-year comparisons should be read with some caution.

Completion outcomes are steadier. The 2024–25 graduation rate was 89.0%, above the district's 85.7% and the state's 84.9%, though below Tracy, Minneota, and Lakeview. The dropout rate was 5.7%, better than the district's 7.5% but higher than the state's 4.2%. About 42.55% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 15.6 — the highest in the comparison group, though improved from 18.8 in 2022–23. Among student groups, African American students ranked at the 75th percentile, above the school overall, while English Language Learner and Special Education students ranked lower (20th and 25th percentile). One nearby school, the same-district Marshall Area Learning Center, serves a different, alternative population and pulls district averages down, so district-wide numbers can understate Marshall High's standing.
