Summary:
The Marsing Joint District in Idaho has only one elementary school, Marsing Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 412 students. While the school has a diverse student population, with 59.22% White and 39.08% Hispanic students, its academic performance lags behind state averages in math, science, and English language arts.
Marsing Elementary School faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 28.6% and a large percentage (over 55%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic need. The school's spending per student is also below the state average, and it has a higher student-teacher ratio than recommended for elementary schools. These factors likely contribute to the school's academic underperformance, which has been relatively consistent over the past few years, ranking in the bottom half of Idaho elementary schools.
Overall, Marsing Joint District faces significant challenges in supporting the educational needs of its students at Marsing Elementary School. Addressing the school's academic performance, high absenteeism, economic disadvantages, and resource constraints will require a comprehensive and targeted approach to ensure that all students in the district have the opportunity to succeed.
