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.

I loved my experience at Marion High School. The only negative comment I have is that not all of my classes over the years had qualified teachers so I feel I missed out on a little of my education. I know this was due to teacher shortage. I loved all the clubs and sports I was part of as well as the diversity of my High School. I feel like my coaches, sports, clubs and friends played a vital role in preparing me for the real world outside of school. My time at Marion High School has provided me with an education, many college credits, and the most cherished memories.

Marion High School has been the best High School experience. The people are always uplifting and encouraging. The staff makes intenional relationships with the students as well as wanting to see us thrive and grow. The staff wants to see us move on and do great things.

Marion High School is a good school. I was able to graduate with so many college credits. My teachers for the most part genuinely cared about the students and the topic. Diversity is great too

MHS is such an incredible school. You attend with people of all races, religions, and socioeconomic backgrounds. The course offerings are unmatched anywhere in the area. I'm proud to be an MHS grad and was more than prepared for college.

This school has received bad press because it has struggled academically to meet state standards and bring test scores up, Also, discipline has always been a challenge. However, I attribute these problems more to the high percentage of children from low income families, many of whom lack good parent...
