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.

My experience at Washington Marion felt very manageable and encouraging. I have been able to exhibit my academic skills much more than I was able to at my previous school. However, I feel as though not enough students are as eager to learn as I am. I believe that the school should take more strides to ensure the other students are able to achieve the same learning experience as myself. I also feel that there is much hate being spread around and I would like for the staff to discourage it more than what they have been.

The new principal was very understanding when it came to listening to both the teacher and the s...
