I love this school personally and all the teachers are extremely nice. I have made tons of new ideas and friends and I really look forward to keep going with my three years. It has tought me loads about college and high school and the challenges I will face in life. The homework is easy but the teachers and classes still make you work hard. I can't wait to continue and have fun. I recommend this school to all students and parents.

My kids went to Marco and spent three crucial years doing nothing. They were in acc classes and still did pretty much nothing. Looking back, I would never send them to Marco again. They did not learn crucial skills they need in high school. Marco did not prepare them at all. (They were straight A students at Marco, of course) I would definitely not recommend this school if your child's academics are your priority. They will not only not gain any skills, they will also loose any skills they had prior to going to Marco. Hope this helps.
