I feel that Marion High School is a great place to go to school. I feel that I am being fairly educated and have learned so much in my time there.

5.0 Sophomore

12/12/2024

I am overall enjoying my time. Mostly good teachers. Wish we had more AP options but we have limited teachers/students because we are a small town. Best town in the area by far!

Very little emphasis on college readiness. This includes SAT prep, AP Tests, and college applications. Would love to see more emphasis on areas that truly prepare you for a 4-year college education.

Excellent high school! My children are extremely happy and receiving a top notch education. I have no doubt they will be well prepared to excel at the post secondary level. The faculty, staff, and administration are outstanding.
