School Overview

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.

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.
