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.

The best parts about my experience at Marana high school is the way that they prepare you for college and the way they help you to give you every chance to graduate and succeed. My worst experience was not getting along with some students but it was handled by my teacher and counselor.

Coaches make participation extremely difficult Football coaches constantly make players miss activity buses making it necessary to have one parent constantly on call for transportation

I would like to see a change within the diversity, students limiting the use of bad influence of students that attend the school.
