Summary

Marshall High is a public high school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, serving 639 students in grades 9–12 at 4141 N 64th St as part of the Milwaukee School District.

Academically, Marshall ranks near the bottom of Wisconsin high schools — 523rd of 533 (2nd percentile) in 2025–2026, with a 0-star rating. Proficiency is in the single digits across all tested subjects: 2.13% in Social Studies, 6.67% in English Language Arts, 2.6% in Math, and 4.05% in Science, compared with district rates of about 16–25% and state rates of 43–48%. Nearby King International and Milwaukee School of Languages post proficiency in the 20–40% range, though both serve fewer low-income students. Marshall's results are closer to those of WHS Information Technology and James Madison Academic Campus, which struggle similarly.

Attendance and completion are the biggest concerns. In 2024–2025, 85.0% of students were chronically absent, versus 46.2% districtwide and 17.3% statewide, and far above King International (38.2%) or Milwaukee School of Languages (37.6%). The graduation rate is 63.1% — up from 49.4% in 2021–2022 — but still below the district's 71.5% and the state's 92.0%, and the dropout rate is 9.7%. Marshall spends $23,610 per student, more than most nearby schools, and its student-teacher ratio of 14.2 is the lowest in the nearby comparison group. Yet outcomes lag, suggesting attendance and out-of-school factors play a major role. One relative bright spot: the special education subgroup ranks at the 14th percentile with 1 star, well above the school's overall 2nd percentile.
