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.

Linn-Mar High School is a very welcoming school with plenty of clubs and activities to do. Girls and boys have a wide range of sport options and the band, orchestra, and choir departments excel.

Linn-Mar Highschool is very average, I can't complain as the s hoop has offered me many friends and allowed me to be an active member of our community, but I feel that I am flying blind and unprepared for what college is going to entail.
