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.

Marathon High is a great school, I've spent 6 years here (7-12th) and wouldnt have wanted to spend it anywhere else. It's a great education with fun exciting teachers and it's even has an ocean view.

This school is different for sure, 6-12 grade and we have less than 700 kids attending. Its nice though because you get personal attention from teachers and students you wouldn't get at a school of 2000.

Had a terrible experience here. Teachers spent more time "dealing" with troubled students than actually teaching. Which is probably why the average test scores are so low. This school also has its fair share of crime on and off campus. In the end it felt like this school only sees students as number...

After moving from Broward County at one of the "BEST" schools it had to offer that turned out to be a joke I am leary of public schools in Florida. Marathon has greatly changed my opinion. My daughter has excelled so far and has made such a huge turn around from the issues she had at her old school....
