Schools in Zip Code 56258

ZIP code 56258 includes 7 schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12 across two systems, with 2,568 students enrolled in total. Marshall Public School District operates five of them — Marshall High School, Marshall Middle School, Southview Elementary, Park Side Elementary, and Marshall Area Learning Center — while Region 6 and 8-SW/Wc Service Coop runs two specialized programs, SWWC ELC - Marshall and Project Search-Avera Marshall. Enrollment is concentrated: Marshall High (886 students) and Marshall Middle (655) together hold about 60% of the area's students, and the district accounts for 2,548 students, or 99.2% of the total.

Among the comprehensive schools, Marshall Middle School is the academic standout, with a 61st percentile rank and 3 stars, math proficiency of 51.9% (above the district's 47.6% and the state's 44.9%), and the highest single result in the data — 8th-grade math at 61.5% versus 42.3% statewide. Its reading, at 40.9%, trails the state's 48.6%. Southview Elementary is the reading bright spot, at 48.8% (essentially the state's 48.6%), and its rank improved from the 37th to the 47th percentile, though it remains 2 stars. Marshall High School posts the strongest graduation rate at 89.0%, above the district's 85.7% and the state's 84.9%, but its rank fell from the 66th to the 42nd percentile and its all-grades scores declined in all three subjects.

Science is a shared concern: all-grades science sits below the state's 25.5% at Marshall High (23.6%) and Marshall Middle (23.0%), with Middle's 5th-grade science the exception at 32.0% versus 25.9%. The alternative settings show much lower outcomes — Marshall Area Learning Center has a 62.0% graduation rate and a 20.6% dropout rate, though its rank rose from the 3rd to the 16th percentile — but they serve very small populations with many suppressed scores, so these figures warrant caution. Free/reduced lunch rates and student/teacher ratios also vary widely, from Marshall High's ratio of 15.6 down to Park Side's 8.6.
