Marian Catholic is a good school overall. They have a good support system and most of the teachers are very genuine and open-minded.

I loved that I was able to receive a high quality education that adequately prepared me for college. I made friends that I'm still super close with and regularly keep in touch with. I had teachers that inspired me to work hard and achieve my goals. Every school has its issues, and Marian had its fair share, but overall, I enjoyed my time at Marian. I am so thankful for the opportunities that the school gave me and the people that I met that changed my life.

I would even add that the sports in a public school could offer more than in this school too. Since their los...

My expirence at this school was not a great one. The staff are incredibly rude, especially the office ladies and women's dean. Parents I would recommend spending your money on a school that will properly show your child how to prepare for college because this school does not do it.
