Summary:
Zip code 56258 is home to two elementary schools, both part of the Marshall Public School District in Minnesota, and together they cover PK–4: Park Side Elementary serves PK–1 with 407 students, while Southview Elementary serves grades 2–4 with 524 students. Combined enrollment is 931 students, with Southview holding about 56.3% of that total and Park Side about 43.7%. The district is rated 2 stars, ranked 284 of 458 districts, at the 38th percentile.
Southview Elementary is the only school here with MCA test-score data, and it shows a clear improvement story. Math proficiency rose 4.87 points to 48.1% (district 47.6%, state 44.9%), and reading rose 3.94 points to 48.8% (district 41.4%, state 48.6%) — so reading moved from below state to slightly above it, even as the district's reading score declined. Its rank also climbed to 459 of 869, 47th percentile, up 87 positions from 2024–2025. Grade-level figures show 4th grade reading at 50%, the highest reported proficiency in this data, while 3rd grade math at 47.2% trails the state by 10.7 percentage points.
Park Side Elementary stands out for the lowest student-teacher ratio in the dataset — 8.6 students per teacher versus 11.7 at Southview, about 26.5% lower. Both schools serve high-poverty populations, with free/reduced lunch at 60.69% at Park Side and 58.59% at Southview. Park Side has no test scores because it serves PK–1, where no MCA-tested grades exist in this data; that is not a suppressed figure. Note that in the 2025–26 grade-level rows, Southview's scores match the district's exactly, so the state comparison is the more informative one there, and any conclusions should be tempered by the small size of this dataset.
