Summary

Marshall Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 3-6 in the Marshall School District in Marshall, Wisconsin. The school has 249 students and is ranked 657 out of 1,044 Wisconsin elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The Marshall School District as a whole is ranked 284 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and has a 2-star rating.

Marshall Elementary's student performance on the Forward Exam lags behind the state averages across most grade levels and subject areas, particularly in 6th-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school's Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students perform relatively better, with their proficiency rates ranking in the top 25% and top 20% of Wisconsin elementary schools, respectively. The school also faces a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism, rising from 14.1% in 2022-2023 to 17.7% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Deerfield Elementary and Eastside Elementary outperform Marshall Elementary across most academic measures. Waterloo Elementary, about 4.5 miles from Marshall, also has lower academic performance compared to the state averages, similar to Marshall Elementary. To address these challenges, Marshall Elementary should focus on improving attendance, identifying and addressing the root causes of its academic underperformance, and providing targeted support for students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.
