Marian catholic is a very good high school that prepares you for college. There are an insane amount of AP and duel credit classes for students to take that help them stay ahead and ready for the next level. You are also surrounded by like minded individuals that help yo push yourself to become better.

Throughout my 4 years here at Marian, I've had many mixed emotions. Academic wise, I love it. I feel as though Marian has prepared me for college and my adult life very well. However socially, because of the pandemic my underclassmen years felt very lonely. I didn't have the social life most high school kids do.

I would even add that the sports in a public school could offer more than in this school too. Since their los...

My expirence at this school was not a great one. The staff are incredibly rude, especially the office ladies and women's dean. Parents I would recommend spending your money on a school that will properly show your child how to prepare for college because this school does not do it.
