Marathon School's academic performance has fluctuated over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 232nd to 513th out of Florida high schools. While the school performs better in some subject areas, such as Geometry and US History, its overall proficiency rates on standardized tests are generally below the state and district averages. However, the school's four-year graduation rates have been relatively high, ranging from 83.1% to 89.7%, which is on par with or slightly above the state and district averages.

One significant concern at Marathon School is the high rate of chronic absenteeism, which has ranged from 19.4% to 31.4% in recent years, significantly higher than the state and district averages.
