(2 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - WOW, a lot to review. This school has not been the best experience for my children. The best part of the school is the marching band program. The rest is poor. It's hard for students to transfer into this school--the boys are conditionally accepted, the girls never seem to be accepted. (If a guy is exceptional in sports, he'll be accepted.) Most things go to those students who were born in Marshall. In fact, very few scholarships and senior awards go to anyone who isn't from the area. Although the building is nice, the school philosophies are from the mid-60's. The administration is more concerned with tardies than with cheating. The current practice of block scheduling doesn't help anyone who needs extra time or help in class. (One tenth grade teacher had 160+ homework assignments in one semester.) The block schedule is also poor for mathematics courses. There isn't a lot of help for those students who are struggling or might need extra help in their classes. The National Honor Society members don't tutor, and teachers have to hurry to get through their curriculum in a shortened time frame. The teachers seem stressed out and cannot seem to complete their curriculum. There are no study halls. What was sad is that fellow students weren't very supportive of their classmates either in class or in sports. There is very little class or school spirit. The physical education classes are strength training and conditioning, and nothing fun. I expected a school to be encouraging and supportive of their students and to adequately prepare them for the next step of life. The graduates are so programmed by the system being told what to do and when to do it, than to think on their own and decide when tasks need to be completed. This is a medium sized high school set in the middle of the prairie.
