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.

It's a good school. Teachers from my experience some of them are great helper and they're caring about your success but some of them are very tuff and doesn't care at all about you. Doesn't give any advice or help. It has one of the best music program if you like music. The music teacher is very good and very kind and caring about your success. The councilor also is very helpful and easy to reach. The activities their are good and the clubs. They offer a lot of Ap classes. The building is clean and big enough for high School. Overall I have good experience with them until now.

Marriotts Ridge is a diverse high school with great teachers and staff but personally compared to other schools I've attended, the teachers don't really try to connect with the students and sometimes seem rather distant and hard but they do teach well.

Marriotts ridge is a good school with lots of opportunities. However sometime the teachers can be a little tough. In the future I would like to see more help sessions being available to students for all classes.

Graduated in 2015, love this school so much. I wasn’t necessarily academically outgoing, but many teachers encouraged me to pursue higher course loads which they knew i could tackle easily. Great people, great environment, great area. River Hill, Centennial, Mount Hebron, and MRHS are the top school...

I have 2 children that have gone through this school and one more heading in the fall and we absolutely love it. The teachers are involved, they are creative in their ways of engaging the children and my kids had the option of participating in a wide variety of activities. It's a diverse population...

Overall, I loved it. Great academics (esp. APs) and also excellent extracurriculars (I did theatre, band, and choir). The school itself is clean and safe, with a friendly environment that made it easy to get involved. I may have a few minor complaints, but all in all, I had a great experience at MRH...
