MARSHALL operates 6 public schools serving 2,420 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Missouri. The school portfolio breaks down into 4 elementary, 1 high, 1 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 2,301 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Saline County County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,678 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 43.1% local, 39.3% state, and 17.6% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $59,912 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 46/100, ranked #249 of 433 in Missouri against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 308.8:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 13.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 49.8% White, 25.9% Hispanic or Latino, 2.9% African American across the district's schools.
Marshall Sr. High accounts for 35.9% of all MARSHALL student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means MARSHALL-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
MARSHALL school enrollment varies 6.8× across entities
MARSHALL school enrollment ranges from 121 students (lowest) to 827 students (highest), a spread of 706 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio — most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
MARSHALL has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 53.2% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
MARSHALL student-counselor ratio is 309:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment — districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within MARSHALL is typically wider than the MARSHALL-aggregate figure suggests.
MARSHALL chronic absenteeism rate is 13.8% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
MARSHALL has 6 schools, including 1 high, 4 elementary, 1 other. Total enrollment is 2,420 students.
