Summary:
Marshfield, Wisconsin is home to seven schools — five elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school — serving roughly 3,395 students in the Marshfield Unified School District, which ranks 140th of 432 districts in Wisconsin, at the 68th percentile with 3 stars.
Among the elementary schools, Nasonville Elementary stands out: it is the smallest, with 231 students, yet it holds the highest rank (185th of 1,039, 82nd percentile, 4 stars), the strongest math results (every tested grade at 71.88% or higher), the lowest student-teacher ratio (11.9), and the highest per-student spending ($16,109). Washington Elementary also earned 4 stars (75th percentile) with exceptional upper-grade results, including 86.84% in 6th-grade ELA and 85.71% in 5th-grade math. Madison Elementary is the most improved, climbing from 49th percentile and 2 stars to 71st percentile and 4 stars. Marshfield High ranks at the 68th percentile, is above state in all tested subjects, and graduates 92.8% of students.
Marshfield Middle remains above state on all six tests but slipped from the 69–71st percentile range to 59th, with declines in 8th-grade math, science, and social studies. Grant Elementary also fell from 4 stars to 3. Lincoln Elementary is a puzzle: it has the lowest chronic absenteeism in the city (1.8%) but the highest free/reduced lunch rate (58.72%) and the lowest elementary rank percentile (54). Every school's chronic absenteeism is below the state's 17.3%. Spending and staffing do not track neatly with results — the high school has the highest student-teacher ratio (15.5) yet performs above state.
