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.

Marana has a lot of teachers that deeply care about the students that go there but there is always a couple that just seems to want to cause hardship for students and they are not stopped but other than that the teachers are great. The facilities are hit or miss but the academics they provide are good and I feel like I learn a lot so overall I really like Marana High School.

This school has been a generally okay experience. I think they could update the school itself more. The AC is never working, and that's not good in Arizona. My favorite part has been how many CTE options are available.
