Linn-Mar High School

Linn Mar use to be a school of choice with parents moving to the district so their children could attend one of the schools.. The last couple of years, families have been moving away, open enrolling their children in other districts, and homeschooling. The school board has attempted to implement policies that parents feel are not in the best interest of their children. The board is made up of people who are not leaders and who are disrespectful to other board members and to the parents. They have created a divisive environment. A school board can make or break a school system. This one is broken.

As a student of Linn Mar, I often question where the school district is spending their funding. Obviously the pandemic was very rough on all school districts, but I struggle to see why a new administrative building is being constructed while many students 20+ minutes away from the building have to walk in one of the hottest weeks of the year because there aren't enough bus drivers to take them. In addition, both the high school and the nearby Excelsior Middle School often have issues with the A/C, leading to many classrooms being miserable for both students and teachers. The mental health support, while better than Excelsior, really doesn't amount to much. In short, the Linn Mar Highschool isn't a great option as the district executives have done little to show that they actually care about the students. However, there really aren't a lot of options for schools in this area, and Linn Mar is probably the best choice if Marion schools are your only option.

Fix your rating, Linn-Mar High School is not a 4/10, 10/10 is more accurate.

This is not a community school, and learning is no longer a priority at Linn Mar. It is so sad to see how quickly this school cares more about politics then each individual kids success. When teachers physically fight in the hallway while kids stand by and watch, sexual interactions can occur in both girls and boys bathrooms (Before the new school changes) and kids barking at other kids because they are now considered a Fury even though it makes other kids uncomfortable. Watch what happens to their enrollment after next year when other kids can open enroll at other schools.

Linn-Mar leadership from the school board, superintendent, and District Administrators is laughable at best when it comes to students with disabilities. They consistently break laws on processes all in the name of funding and catering to teachers unions. Disgusting. If the general public had any idea what this district is doing, there would be riots in the streets.
