Average-poor school. Academics were average, students were not given the freedom to pursue advanced courses and most classes in the school do not prepare for APs or SATs (unless you pay for tutoring, of course). The entire "innovative learning" thing clearly isn't taking off- downgrading the academic rigor and college-readiness of the education. Few teachers are exceptional, many do not put genuine effort into teaching and clearly are not concerned about the well-being of students, neither do they seem to communicate w students outside of classes. Campus atmosphere is probably great if you're white upper-middle class: racism is pretty prevalent and no attention is given to international students. Sports obviously is a great thing but not everyone are athletes, perhaps toning down on the sports culture could be a more inclusive option?
St Mark’s offers a variety of opportunities! The sense of community is very strong as there are a wide variety of school traditions.
St. Mark's, overall it has been a life-changing experience. I have had many ups and downs while attending this school and it has taught valuable life-lessons. The school will sometimes illogically make decisions that are really pointless or negative to student-life/academics. Most of the positives regarding St. Mark's revolves around relationships that you make while attending. I will forever be thankful for St. Mark's.
