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.

East Marion high school has been around for a very long time. It is in a small town with a very small population.

Well everyone pretty much follows the dress code, red,white,or blue shirts, and khaki or navy pants. Teachers also they cant wear blue jeans, have to look professional at all times. The attendance policy is fairly acceptable if we attend school the whole week with no check outs we get to wear casual clothes on Friday. BULLYING is strictly forbidden. It will lead to suspension or even getting expelled.
