Summary:

George C. Marshall Elementary is a public elementary school in Seaside, California, serving 513 students in grades K-6 and part of the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District.

While the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (34.5% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch), its academic performance is generally below the district and state averages. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were 38.98% in English Language Arts and 33.6% in Math, compared to the district's 38.89% and 24.11%, and the state's 47.04% and 35.54%, respectively. The school's performance has been consistent over the past few years, with 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger. Notably, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 6.9% in 2017-2018 to 19.1% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, the school's performance varies significantly among different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and English Language Learners, Special Education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds performing below the state and district averages. In contrast, the school's military-connected students have a relatively strong performance, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in 2023-2024. When compared to nearby schools, such as La Mesa Elementary, which has higher proficiency rates and a 4-star rating, and other schools in the area with similar performance challenges, the findings suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of George C. Marshall Elementary's diverse student population and improve overall academic outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
