Summary:
Marion School District 60-3 has one high school, Marion High School - 01, serving grades 9–12 with 62 students. Its clearest positive outcome is graduation: 100% in 2025–2026, compared with 88% statewide.
With only one school, there is no school-to-school top or bottom; Marion’s results are best understood against state figures. Its latest subject results are mixed: in 2025–2026, math was 42%, 8 points above the state’s 34%, and science was 50%, 5 points above the state’s 45%. English Language Arts was 33%, 15 points below the state’s 48%, making it the clearest academic concern in the latest results. The dropout rate was also lower than the state’s, at 1.6% versus 2.4%, though it was 0.6 points higher than the district’s 1.0%.
In 2024–2025, Marion’s results were below state results in all three subjects: by 22 points in English Language Arts, 11 in math, and 16 in science. In 2025–2026, math and science were above the state, but the assessments changed between years, so this pattern does not establish academic growth. SchoolDigger’s reported percentile fell from 56 in 2023–2024 to 19 in 2024–2025, then rebounded to 45 in 2025–2026—26 points above its low but 11 below its starting point. As context, 48% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, and the student–teacher ratio was 8.9. These figures describe Marion, but with one school they cannot show how its enrollment, ratio, or low-income measure compares with other area high schools.
