Excellent school. Great staff and student body. My child is thriving here, I wish he could attend high school at Mar Lee, Marshall Public Schools are terrible since the Albion merger and the Marshall School Board is radical left.
Review Mar Lee School. Reviews should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
