Summary:
The Marshall School District in Wisconsin has only one middle school, Marshall Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has some areas of academic strength, it also faces challenges that may be impacting student outcomes.
Marshall Middle has a relatively low statewide ranking, ranging from 359 out of 628 middle schools in 2024-2025 to 457 out of 640 in 2022-2023. The school's performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized test, is mixed, with 7th-grade students performing better than the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, but 8th-grade students performing below the state averages in these subjects, as well as in Social Studies and Science.
Additionally, while Marshall Middle has a low dropout rate of 1.3%, the school's chronic absenteeism rate is high at 17.7%, which may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance, particularly in the 8th-grade subjects. The school also serves a population with a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 39.32% in the 2023-2024 school year, and has a low student-teacher ratio of 9.7, which may indicate a focus on providing more individualized attention to students.
