My child was bullied for two years at Marshall Middle School. I was repeatedly told there was nothing the school could do about it and "everyone gets bullied in middle school" was the response from staff. Very unsafe environment for LGBTQ students. If you have a child who is part of that community DO NOT send them to this school.

Marshall Board of Education finally voted to becomce a participating member of the Battle Creek Area Math & Science Center in spring 2014! Although there are only 4-5 spots per grade level IF a student passes high enough on their qualifying entrance testing, it's still an available opportunity for Marshall High School students. That means Marshall is now offering the same learning opportunities that other area distrcts are offering to its advanced students.

I really don't even know what to say or where to even begin. Many generations of my family have grown up & attended school in this community... & well it's not like it used to be. Bullying is def an issue & parental involvement for the majority is a huge issue.. It only results in extreme disrespect coming from students & makes an environment that's hard for teachers to teach & students to learn. The skills are taught, but obviously not always successful. There are some great teachers, but I think the problem is higher up, over the principal even. You have to understand the multi-cultural & unique community Albion is in order to fully grasp the good & bad. It's gonna take something BIG to turn this school around.
