Marshall Elementary

Marshall Elementary School is a public school in San Francisco, California that serves grades Kindergarten through 5. It is part of the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD). The school has between 250 and 270 students, and there is one teacher for every 24 students, which is a little higher than the state average. The Spanish Dual Immersion (Two-Way Bilingual) program at Marshall Elementary is well-known. It combines English and Spanish instruction to help students become bilingual, biliterate, and understand other cultures. The school focuses on basic reading, writing, math, and social-emotional learning in a community-focused setting.There are a lot of different kinds of students at this school, and a lot of them come from minority backgrounds. This is because the school is located in the Mission District, which is a culturally diverse area. According to data from U.S. News, about 17% of students are good at math, and about 32% are good at English Language Arts (ELA). The amount of money spent on each student is in line with the SFUSD's funding levels, which are higher than the state average in California.

Recent state data show that the percentage of students missing too many days is on the rise, which is a growing concern in San Francisco schools. Marshall Elementary is one of these schools. Teachers and families are working to improve attendance so that students can learn better and the district can get more money from student attendance.
