Marlington High School has consistently performed well academically, with proficiency rates above the state average in most subjects. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 76.6% proficiency in American Government, 75.3% in American History, and 72.9% in English II, all higher than the state averages. The school has also maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 93.5% to 95.7% over the past few years, which are above the state average.

While Marlington High School generally outperforms nearby schools like East Canton High School and Canton Harbor High School in academic metrics, the school may need to focus on improving support for special education and disabled students to ensure equitable outcomes for all learners. Marlington High School's per-student spending of $9,435 in 2018-2019 is higher than some nearby schools, which may contribute to its academic success, and its relatively stable enrollment of 707 students may allow for more personalized attention and support for students.
