Summary

Marshfield High is a public high school located in Marshfield, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 896 students. The school is part of the Marshfield R-I school district, which is ranked 60th out of 367 districts in Missouri and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Marshfield High has consistently maintained a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 92.6% to 93.1% over the past few years, which is above the state average. The school also has relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 0.9% to 1.5% in recent years. However, Marshfield High's performance on state assessments (MAP) is generally on par with or slightly above the state and district averages in subjects like Algebra I, Biology I, English II, and Algebra II, with a concerning decline in Algebra I and Algebra II proficiency rates over the past few years. Additionally, the school's performance for Special Education and Disabled students is significantly lower than the state average and other nearby schools, such as Logan-Rogersville High and Fair Grove High.

Marshfield High's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 13.5% to 17.4% in recent years, is also an area of concern that the school may need to address. When compared to other nearby high schools, Marshfield High generally performs on par or slightly below schools like Logan-Rogersville High, Fair Grove High, and Strafford High, but outperforms the smaller, more rural Niangua High in most metrics.

high school admin seems lacking in experience with little control and very little respect of student body. Educational opportunities and college prep seems to be adequate but nothing special. Would seriously consider ANY other educational option before enrolling student. Close Quote
