My sons love this school and are so happy to go each day. The staff are wonderful from the principal down to the cafeteria workers. Everyone takes the time to get to know each and every child. They let the children know that they are really interested in how they learn and are willing to give 120 % to every child. They listen to the parents and work as a team to help the child meet their goals.

I just love this school and the teachers who encourage children to do more. My son has been with the school for the past two years and I've fortunate to send my son here because the next best school is Newark Charter and it's highly competitive.

I love this school and so do both of my children. My son has been at Marshall since first grade and is now in 4th grade. He has had nothing but wonderful, loving teachers who seem to really care not only about his education, but about him as a person too. My daughter is in kindergarten this year and has the most amazing teacher who interacts with the kids constantly. I volunteer at Marshall a lot and have always felt welcomed. The environment is always positive and caring. We are moving this year and I can only hope to find another school as awesome as Marshall Elementary. From teachers to the crossing guard this school rocks!
