I think that my overall experience at John Marshall was, to put it bluntly, average. Like all schools, there are fights between students and plenty of drama to go around. The sports teams aren't too great but the student sections always show up to support the players. Overall, it was a normal high school experience. Nothing too great, nothing too horrible.

John Marshall has been the school my entire family went to, it has always had a great culture surrounding sports and music. There are abundant resources for anyone who needs them. The only issue I have had is the lack of discipline regarding the individual students. The Admin responds to problems with a blanket punishment for all students.

Excellent experience. My child struggled with the move to this school at first. The counselor was great and helped my child adjust. I find the teachers and counselors really care about the students in this school.

Good academics programs. Being an upperclassman, we don't really attack the underclassman like most schools so. Sportwise, it is fun, but don't expect to get to far.
