John Marshall, with its iconic architecture, has been a formative experience. Senior year is a mix of excitement and nostalgia. The diverse student body, an example of LA, has contributed to my growth. As graduation nears, I recognize Marshall's profound impact. While the future is exciting, the connections forged here will remain.

John Marshall Senior High is a really good high school to go to since it can teach a lot and help other students develop skills. Some problems though is how other students don't care about school, so they don't focus in class, vape in the bathroom, etc.

My high school experience was honestly great. I love the area the school is in and the people there. I will say the area is predominantly but there was still a lot of diversity in the school and I believe the school does make an effort to make it diverse. The school is very active in sports and do well. There are also always musical performances with the school bands that there are within the school. When it comes to education I believe its great but also depends on how committed the student is to receiving the education they are given. As for the workers there i think they are great and welcoming I was well connected with some the security there and created a really good bon with the people there.

Our daughter was going to a small private school prior to going to John Marshall high school. We did not know what to expect. We have been pleasantly impressed with the school, teachers, staff and administration. They all work very hard and are 100% committed. I highly recommend JMHS!

We have had a very good experience at Marshall over the past three years and are so grateful to the magnet programs and the SAS for creating a real public school option with access to great classes, teachers, and fellow students.
