Summary

Marshall Elementary is a PK-5 public school in the Houston Independent School District (Isd) serving 453 students in a high-poverty area of Houston, TX, where over 97% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Marshall Elementary is in the midst of a promising turnaround, climbing from a 1-star rating to a 2-star rating and improving its state percentile rank from the 12th to the 43rd percentile in recent years. Its greatest strength is its exceptional performance with low-income students, ranking in the 68th percentile statewide for this group—far outperforming nearby schools like Johnson Elementary (18th percentile) and Two Dimensions/Vickery (17th percentile). The school also excels in math, often meeting or exceeding the HISD district average in 4th and 5th grade. With a student-teacher ratio of 13.3—the lowest among comparable schools—Marshall provides smaller class sizes that likely support its progress with high-needs students.

However, the school faces a critical challenge in its bilingual program. While English STAAR scores are improving, Spanish exam scores are critically low—for example, 3rd-grade Reading in English was 42.37% but only 5.88% in Spanish. This stark gap suggests the bilingual program needs targeted intervention. Interestingly, the closest neighbor, North Forest Elementary (Yes Prep Public Schools), excels in Spanish instruction but lags behind Marshall in serving low-income students. Addressing this language instruction gap will be key to unlocking further growth and ensuring all students succeed.
