School Notes:
  • Linn-Mar High School is part of the Linn-Mar Community School District. Linn-Mar High School is located on 3111 North Tenth Street, Marion, Iowa. Linn-Mar High School is one of the larger schools in the state of Iowa.
  • History and Future of Linn-Mar High School: Linn-Mar High School was created in 1959 and renovated several times throughout its history.
  • In January 2006, a $12 million bond vote was passed allowing significant improvements to be made throughout the High School. The Four-Corners area will be renovated: the band and choir rooms will be relocated behind the auditorium and various classrooms will be redone.
  • Scheduling: Linn-Mar High School operates under Modified Block Schedule.
  • Linn-Mar High School has used the modified block schedule since the 1999-2000 school year. It was adopted in order to: a) maximize the number of courses that a student could take in a four-year period, b) match content areas with appropriate class lengths, and c) assure that the time allotment enables teachers to address multiple learning styles of students.
  • Math, music, and foreign language courses are designated as "skinny" courses (forty-minutes) because of the sequential nature of the content/subject matter. For example, a student who completes first level Spanish is best-served by taking level two Spanish during the next fall rather than waiting until mid-year. A science course such as Chemistry, however, can make great use of blocks to accommodate lab activities, group projects, and other exploratory activities. Allowing for extended periods of time for multiple learning activities helps to engage traditional, visual, and kinesthetic learners.
  • Most L-MHS Advanced Placement (AP) courses are three quarters in length, begin in the 2nd quarter, and meet for 85 minutes per day. This is done to minimize the length of time between the conclusion of a course and the spring AP exam. This format greatly increases the amount of class time for each AP course and the average AP score for Linn-Mar students has risen sharply since the inception of the modified block schedule.
