Marshall Middle School, founded in 1998, is a middle school in the San Diego City Schools school district that is named after Thurgood Marshall and is in San Diego, California, USA. It is located on 9700 Avenue of Nations in the community of Scripps Ranch in San Diego (ZIP Code 92131). The original campus was constructed in 1998 on Cypress Canyon Road in Scripps Ranch. The original campus was designed for elementary school students, and so it was much too small and didn't have the capacity for the increasing numbers of older children living in Scripps Ranch. In late 2005, construction began on the current site off Avenue of Nations, about a mile and half southwest of the original campus. In 2007 the school opened at the new site. The original campus has become the home of EBS Elementary, another school which has moved from a previous location. With the opening of the elementary school, the original campus has fulfilled its original plan.

The campus is home to 1,540 students; the majority of whom are from the Scripps Ranch area and other parts of the San Diego Unified School District. The school is composed of three main buildings (titled "A," "B," and "C"), each one being 3 stories tall. These buildings are where the majority of instructional time is spent. In addition, there is an administration building, where the offices of the principal, the vice principals, the counselors, the school nurse, and other support staff are located. The faculty lounge is also located there. There is an auditorium, for performances put on by the school's various performing arts programs. There is also a physical education facility, with locker rooms, equipment storage, asphalt areas for basketball, and several grassy field areas for sports like flag football.

The school was awarded the status of California Distinguished School in 2003.

For 2006, the school accountability report card list demographics for the school with 66.2% White, 10% Hispanic, 2.5 Black.^[1] An Academic Performance Index for 2006 place the school at 891 where 800 is the California state goal.^[2]
