This school educates critical thinkers. Because it is socioeconomically and racially diverse, it also teaches it students how to get along with and work productively with those who are different from themselves. We have seen its graduates, go out into the world and leave interesting, productive lives.

The teachers are really great, especially for kids with IEP’s. The guidance counselors are wonderful. The principal is awful. She is totally unresponsive to emails and challenges kids are experiencing in the school, including bullying. She plays favorites. There is so much more this school could be doing to promote social/emotional wellbeing of the kids. My kids are unhappy every day they come home from school.

So far the teachers are good, my child has been there for 2 years. The teachers are pretty responsive when you bring up concerns. Principal Hutchinson is great, very visible and knows her kids by name and personality. Overall good school.

My daughter has learned an incredible amount during her time at Marshall. In kindergarten, her reading skills improved significantly and she's getting a great math foundation. She loves the way play has been incorporated into the curriculum. The teachers seem to really care about the students and work hard to make sure they are getting what they need. The specialists: art, library, music and PE seem to be very good as well.
