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.

Poor teaching staff, when there is a good teacher they are either treated poorly as even the staff are in cliques, or they are offered more money at different schools. Students are all very much in their own groups and can be quite mean, however unfortunately not much can be done about that. Not a very large class variation compared to other local schools. Poor college preparedness.

Marion High School is about as average as a high school can get. The classes are targeted to a Agricultural lifestyle, and if you don't fit that mold you are stuck in an average school learning the most basic studies.

I have been going to Marion Independent School District since I was in Preschool. I have made many friends and have known everybody since. The teachers at Marion High School have all been great and strive to be fun and amazing. My third grade teacher had seen that i was interested in aviation and asked her friend that is a pilot if he could take me on a discovery flight. I did the discovery flight and knew exactly what career I wanted to pursue in the future. I have always thanked her every time I see her, she is also going to hand me my diploma on graduation day. Marion High school is such an amazing school that learns and grows every single day.

Eight years ago this district had promise. Now the school board likes to go behind parents backs and approve things without telling us. The technology is way behind, don't want to fix existing problems, need to offer more electives, need to offer skills training, and the teacher turn over rate is hi...

I went to Marion K-12, however I did move around a lot. I thought maybe it would be better over time and when I came back I realized this isn't the kind of school for me or my future kids. Maybe if there was funding, kids would have better electives and much more to be proud of. Marion lacks any sch...

Marion is an excellent school district. The school is behind on technology, but that does not hamper the overall quality of education. The state mandated test scores are excellent and the teachers are wonderful. Marion has outstanding band, athletics, ag, theater and art programs. The administration...
