Summary:

ZIP code 56258 in Marshall, Minnesota contains three high schools serving grades 5 through 12, with a combined listed enrollment of 971 students: Marshall High School, Marshall Area Learning Center, and Project Search-Avera Marshall. Enrollment is highly concentrated: Marshall High accounts for about 91.2% of these students (886), followed by the Area Learning Center with 76 and Project Search with 9. The two larger schools belong to Marshall Public School District, while Project Search is listed under Region 6 and 8-SW/Wc Service Coop.

Marshall High's strongest reported outcome is its graduation rate of 89.0%, above the district's 85.7% and the state's 84.9%, with a dropout rate of 5.7%. Its test scores and ranking, however, declined: from the 66th percentile with 3 stars in 2024–2025 to the 42nd percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026, as all-grade proficiency fell from 44.17% to 36.1% in math, from 47.88% to 30.7% in reading, and from 34.78% to 23.6% in science. Marshall Area Learning Center has the lowest graduation rate (62.0%), the highest dropout rate (20.6%), and the highest free/reduced-lunch rate (63.16%), but improved from the 3rd percentile with 0 stars to the 16th percentile with 1 star, with math rising from 0% to 15.8% and science from 5.26% to 7.7%. Its 2025–2026 reading score is suppressed.

Against 2025–2026 state proficiency of 44.9% in math, 48.6% in reading, and 25.5% in science, Marshall High was below the state in all three reported subjects, and the Area Learning Center was below in math and science. Project Search cannot be evaluated on test performance, because its school-level science scores are suppressed by the state, and its coop-level figures are not directly comparable.
