Like any other high school student you can always find things to complain about, but looking back a few years post grad I realize how truly lucky I am to have received an education of this quality. Compared to my college peers, I was better prepared to face and conquer college level courses. While friends were struggling with the pace and rigor of the transition into college I was able to balance my social, work, and educational lifestyle with relative ease over my 4 years. I firmly believe that you cannot find more phenomenal educators, facilities, or level of college preparation anywhere in the Atlanta area. Finally beyond the “teen misery” of high school, I will always look back at my Marist days with a familiar fondness and profound gratitude.
Marist provides an excellent, holistic education. The academic rigor is renowned in the area, but there are plenty of supports to help students in any subject like Peer to Peer tutoring systems. The athletics have a long list of state championships, and there is always a sport to join without tryout, like track and field for me. Even the art programs are highly talented even though they may not be as publicized as the sports. I have been in the marching band for 5 years and have made lifelong friends, and it's an honor to be a part of that community and now lead them as drum major. Everyone can truly feel like they belong in the "Marist Fam" whether in lacrosse, robotics, dance, or in their everyday classes. I am thankful to Marist for all that it has prepared me for with regards to college.
Academics and athletics are definitely the aspects of this school's highest priority. Communication between school and parents/students is at times atrocious. Obvious deep flaws in social acceptance and prejudice . Described by teachers, alumni, and current students as a overly stressful schooling environment with many rigorous pressures on those attending. Only reason I've rated this school so high is due to it's academics and wealth of resources for college readiness/preparation. The school has much space to grow in the field of the arts, although there is not much encouragement to participate when compared to athletic teams (resources for the arts are also scant).
