(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This is a very bad school. one of the worst ive ever seen. they treat their students poorly, and they don't have many students because of it. many of their students have transferred,or are moving. this school is so poor in its treatment of students.

- I'm a former student of Marrington. I can honestly say that being in that school was some of the best times of my life. The teachers really care for the student and it will show in the students grades throughout the students years there. The fact that the school is so small was always a plus for me because you get a opportunity to know everyone and become close to all, to this day, some of my best friends are my friends from Marrington and i havnt attended the school in almost 7 years now.

- Please let me know how to get a registration form so that I may enter my child into your private/ public school.
Also need to know what are the qualifications to enter the school.

- As a student at Marrington, I have to say that at first, I was a little reluctant about attending such a small school. I thought that since it was lacking in numbers, that it must be lacking in quality too. Boy, was I wrong! I am currently in the eighth grade at MMSOA and I could not wish for a better place to spend 3 years of my life. Since I was in the 6th grade, I have been in two musicals, several drama, chorus, and dance productions, and have even gotten the chance to take the SAT. If you are a child or parent that is thinking of choosing Marrington- STOP THINKING and enroll your child!

- I use to go to this school and it is definitely one of the best places I have ever gone to school I wish I could go back but can't because my mom has already bought a house and it's a great community down there where you know everybody and there all going through the same thing as you and your family are. You should definitely live there and go to the school it's great
