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.

When I was a student back in 2016 it was a magical time. The support they encouraged for our teams, academic and sport, was unmatched. We lined the drive to send off, cheered, and celebrated upon return. School spirit was like no other. I enjoyed the small town, quiet atmosphere the location provided. They would reach out and partner with local tech schools and colleges to dual credit high school / college credit. With what the school had available I believe they did their best.

When I was a student at North Marion there were a couple teachers that really helped me throughout my experience there. They encouraged me to do my best even when I didn't want to. They gave me advice when I needed it and supported all my ideas and goals. I'm glad I had them with me throughout the 4 years of going there, they really helped me.

I attended NMHS myself and graduated in 1994. Apparently, the school has gone far downhill since. I was successfully prepared for college, as I went on to receive 3 college degrees. My son attended, however, as a transfer student for the past 1.5 years. His transfer credits were not properly given t...

I graduated from NMHS just a few years ago, and I still hold a great deal of resentment towards the school. There are a few great teachers who helped me a great deal along the way, but the majority outweigh the few good quality teachers. I graduated in the top of my class with a GPA of 3.7, and cont...
