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.

Marcellus was a generally good experience. The theater/music/arts programs are great, from my personal experience. The classes prepared us pretty well for our big tests like Regents and for college.

There is good staff, teachers. The people in the school are mostly nice. Good, small community where everyone can get to know each other closely.
