Summary:
ZIP code 56258 is home to a single middle school: Marshall Middle School, which serves grades 5–8 with 655 students in Marshall, Minnesota, as part of the Marshall Public School District. Because it is the only middle school in the area, it stands alone as the local option, and its results offer the clearest picture of how area middle-schoolers are performing.
Math is the school's clear strength. In 2025–2026, all-grades math proficiency was 51.9%, above the district's 47.6% and the state's 44.9%, and every tested grade beat the state — grade 5 at 46.6% vs. 41.9%, grade 6 at 47.4% vs. 39.5%, grade 7 at 51.6% vs. 40.3%, and grade 8 at 61.5% vs. 42.3%, a 19.2-point advantage that is the highest proficiency figure in the data. Reading is the opposite story: all-grades reading was 40.9%, roughly even with the district's 41.4% but 7.7 points below the state's 48.6%, and it trailed the state in every grade, with the widest gaps in grades 7 (31.9% vs. 43.5%) and 8 (35.2% vs. 50.0%). Reading also slipped from 44.99% the prior year.
Science is mixed but improving: all-grades science rose from 14.77% in 2024–2025 to 23%, just above the district's 22.8% but below the state's 25.5%. Grade 5 science was a bright spot at 32% vs. the state's 25.9%, while grade 8 lagged at 14.3% vs. 16.7%. The school has held 3 stars and a 60th–64th percentile state rank across three listed years — stronger than the district's 38th percentile, 2-star standing. More than half of students (56.18% free/reduced lunch) are economically disadvantaged, and the student/teacher ratio is 13.3.
