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.

Becoming a senior this year has brought some looking into how my school is and how students are treated. One of the many challenges that I have faced with other students as well is the feeling that our academics and test scores define us, this has also been shown with our art and music departments where a lot of times students who do sports are being favored over other students who might not do sports.

The school is very nice and safe. There is a few naughty kids, but they don't do much. I would like to see the lunches change.

I attended Markesan from kindergarten through my senior year, and I can say with confidence that the teacher and staff there helped form me into the man I am today.
