of 415 Indiana High Schools

Better than 22% of Indiana high schools

Summary

Marion High School is a public high school in Marion, Indiana, serving grades 9–12 with 1,058 students as part of Marion Community Schools, making it the largest high school in its immediate area. The district ranks 301st of 374 in Indiana, and the school itself ranks 325th of 415 for 2025–2026 (22nd percentile, 1 star). Over the past decade, its statewide percentile has stayed between 14 and 23, never rising out of the bottom quarter of Indiana high schools.

Recent results are mixed. The graduation rate improved to 92.9% in 2024–2025, above the state's 89.7%. Chronic absenteeism fell from a high of 56.6% in 2022–2023 to 39.0% in 2024–2025, but that is still more than double Indiana's 16.7% — the school's clearest red flag. Test proficiency is low: SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing was 31.82% (state 51.9%), SAT Math was 12.73% (state 25.6%), and Biology ILEARN End-of-Course was 20%. About 69.75% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch, and per-student spending was $13,494 — the highest among nearby schools with reported spending, though proficiency remains below most traditional neighbors.

Among nearby schools, Southwood Junior-Senior High School (85th percentile), Eastbrook High School (71st), and Oak Hill High School (53rd) rank higher. The most relevant peer is Mississinewa High School, 4.12 miles away with a similar poverty rate (62.24%); it posts a higher graduation rate (97.7%), much lower absenteeism (20.4%), and higher SAT scores, while Marion's Biology proficiency is higher (20% vs 13.33%). One bright spot stands out: Marion's English Language Learner subgroup climbed to 20th of 122 schools (4 stars) in 2025–2026, up from 93rd of 94 two years earlier. Attendance and SAT growth are the biggest opportunities.
