Summary

Marshall Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in Marshall, Minnesota, part of the Marshall Public School District. With a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, the school has maintained strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the state average in math and reading proficiency on the MCA-III assessments.

One of the school's key strengths is its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.9 to 20 students per teacher, lower than the state average. Additionally, the school performs particularly well for certain student subgroups, ranking 39th out of 169 Minnesota middle schools for African American students and 47th out of 175 schools for Hispanic students in math proficiency. However, the school faces some challenges, such as lower performance for Asian and multi-racial students compared to other subgroups.

Interestingly, the nearby Lynd Middle School, part of the Lynd Public School District, significantly underperforms Marshall Middle School and the state averages in both math and reading proficiency, highlighting the relative strength of Marshall Middle School. While the school maintains a solid overall performance, there are opportunities for improvement, particularly in reading proficiency, where the school lags behind the state average.
