The best parts of going to Marathon was the ability to do college level classes for free through the school and come out with the credit as long as you passed and a lot of colleges are able to transfer the credits. As well as the class opportunities the teachers were also very nice and very helpful and if you needed help they would figure out a time to meet with you.

I really liked the sports oppurtunities offered. I only wish there were more computer oriented programs that would have helped me towards my major.

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.
