MARSHALL METROPOLITAN HIGH SCHOOL

Marshall Metropolitan High School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Chicago Public Schools Dist 299 school district, located in Chicago, IL with about 337 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 24 teachers, Marshall Metropolitan High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Marshall Metropolitan High School is a public four-year high school located in the East Garfield Park neighborhood on the West Side of Chicago. As part of the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) district, the school has a long-standing history in the community and is known for its distinctive architectural building, which is a recognized Chicago landmark. The school serves a predominantly African American student body and strives to provide a comprehensive educational experience that prepares students for post-secondary success through a standard high school curriculum.

The school is perhaps most historically recognized for its long-standing athletic legacy, particularly in boys' basketball, which has frequently brought visibility to the institution. In recent years, Marshall Metropolitan has focused on initiatives to improve academic outcomes and student engagement within the challenging socio-economic context of its neighborhood. Like many schools in the CPS system, it balances a commitment to core academics with efforts to provide extracurricular opportunities and support services aimed at fostering a positive and safe school culture for its students.
