Summary:

The 56258 zip code area is home to 3 high schools: Marshall High School, Matec, and Project Search-Avera Marshall. These schools serve students in the Marshall Public School District and the Region 6 and 8-SW/Wc Service Coop area.

Among the three schools, Marshall High School stands out as the top performer, ranking 153 out of 450 Minnesota high schools in 2024-2025 with a 3-star rating. The school consistently excels on MCA-III tests, exceeding district and state averages in math and reading, and maintains a relatively low dropout rate of 4.4% and a high 4-year graduation rate of 84.2%. In contrast, Matec struggles academically, with significantly lower performance on MCA-III tests and a 0% proficiency rate in 11th-grade math.

The data suggests a potential correlation between the socioeconomic status of the student population and academic performance. Matec serves a higher proportion of students from low-income families, with 76.52% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 42.64% at Marshall High School. This disparity in socioeconomic factors may contribute to the significant performance gap observed between the two schools.
