Marshall Elementary School

Marshall Elementary School serves 273 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Tucson, Arizona. It earns a composite score of 9.0 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — with an academic score of 8.4 and a standout growth score of 9.2. That growth figure matters: it tracks how quickly students progress relative to their starting point, not just whether they clear a grade-level bar.

The school ranks third out of 246 schools in Tucson, and 37th among more than 2,000 public schools statewide, outperforming 98% of Arizona schools. Those positions hold at both the local and state level — Marshall's performance doesn't depend on a weak regional peer group to look strong. With a student-teacher ratio of 11.9 to 1, Marshall keeps class sizes lean compared to most Arizona public elementary schools.

That structure supports the growth data: more individual teacher time tends to produce the kind of accelerated progress Marshall's scores reflect. For families weighing elementary options in Tucson, the numbers place this school squarely at the top of a deep and competitive field — one of the strongest public elementary schools in Arizona.
