School Overview

Marshall Academy of the Arts sits in the quieter, more residential eastern side of Long Beach — a part of the city that feels a step removed from the bustle but still has easy access to everything the South Bay has to offer. As a magnet-style arts-focused middle school, it draws families who want their kids to develop creative skills alongside solid academics, and the 75th percentile rankings in English and Math suggest that balance is working. It's a strong fit for families who value a school culture built around expression and identity, not just test prep.
