The data reveals stark differences in academic performance across these schools, with Sam Houston Elementary and Texas Early College High School standing out as high-performing institutions, while others like Crockett Elementary and Wm B Travis Elementary struggle to meet state averages.
Sam Houston Elementary consistently performs above the district and state averages on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subjects, and in 2024-2025, it ranked in the top 301 elementary schools in Texas, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Texas Early College High School, a charter school, also stands out with a 100% 4-year graduation rate and 0% dropout rate, as well as strong STAAR EOC performance. In contrast, the Marshall ISD, which encompasses most of the schools, is ranked 704 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting broader systemic issues that may be impacting the performance of the district's schools.
The data also reveals significant socioeconomic challenges in the community, with high free/reduced lunch rates at many of the schools, ranging from 54.4% at Elysian Fields Elementary to 85.8% at Wm B Travis Elementary. Additionally, there are wide disparities in funding, with spending per student ranging from $5,180 at Texas Early College High School to $10,078 at Wm B Travis Elementary, which may contribute to the performance gaps between the schools.
