Marshall Street School is a Title I public school that is part of the Washington County Public Schools school district, located in Hagerstown, MD with about 50 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten 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.
