Marquette Elementary is a public elementary school that is part of the Madison Metropolitan School District school district, located in Madison, WI with about 207 students offering grade levels from 3rd Grade to 5th Grade. With about 19 teachers, Marquette Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
