The school has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking 281 out of 739 Michigan high schools in the 2024-2025 school year. While the school's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly above the state averages in most subject areas, there are some areas where it falls below the state average, such as 7th grade English Language Arts and 8th grade Math.

The school also has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 77.31%, indicating that it serves a predominantly low-income student population. This may have implications for the school's resources, funding, and the challenges it faces in supporting student success. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% is relatively high, which could be a contributing factor to its academic performance and graduation rates.
Overall, Marion Public Schools has one high school that is generally performing at or above the state average in many areas, but there are opportunities for improvement, particularly in addressing the challenges faced by its low-income student population and improving student retention and graduation rates.
