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.

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....
