GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Marlboro County High School is an example of how underfunded majority black schools are. Education does not prepare you for college; instead, it prepares you to pass the class or the state test. Some staff members always show an attitude and are nasty to pupils who are not their favorites. The band, their diligence, and the opportunity to meet a lot of interesting individuals are the only positive aspects of the school.

Great school with wonderful teachers. The environment is very good for teens during this time. The administrative staff is very well connected with the students as well. The sports are average for a high school.
