We have a new principal so he's trying to be more strict. I wish the guidance counselors really considered the students strengths and weakness instead of simply branding you smart or not smart. Just because you might have difficulty in one class doesn't make you dumb all around.

I could not have asked for a better high school experience. Marathon is a small town but has so much character. Marathon offers a large number of courses that allow students to receive college credit. I graduated high school with 50 credits, and several of my peers graduated with an associate degree...

I am a former student, but this is the worst school I ever went to and I've been in 7 different ones. Everyone was mean and a bully, the teachers played favorite and I had no real friends there.
