Marist High School Reviews


Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-12-07 “I think Marist is a very good school. The curriculum is just right and the athletics are wonderful. I went there for 4 years and loved it. The school spirit is amazing and I think it is a wonderful school. I am proud to say I went to Marist! GO REDHAWKS!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2008-09-18 “I thought I was the only one who thought racism was a huge issue here. When I talked to the administration about it, they said they never heard such a thing. I'm glad to see others felt the same way I did and my daughter is white. Thank goodness she graduated from a very diverse public school , which was a wonderful experience especially as far as diversity goes. It was a great shock to her to see how awful the other students treated the African American students. How sad to see that there were only a quarter of the African Americans that started freshman year, graduated with this same class. Athletics and politics were also a huge issue. I would never recommend this school to anyone. Notice that almost all of the parent reviews are below average. The above average reviews come from former students who don't know any better.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2008-06-13 “What a horrible school Marist High School is. I am ashamed that my kid has to say he graduated from there! Horrible administration who dont care about the average student, only the athletes and student council” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-05-22 “Marist is an absolutely excellent school. I graduated in 2007, making my class the second co-ed class. I feel that Marist prepared me wonderfully for the university level. I am thankful for the discipline provided from teachers, deans, and even our wonderful Marist Brothers. I feel that Marist is a family I will always belong to. I can not say enough about this wonderful institution. My only advice to those skeptical about Marist is to get involved. It is a very student run school, getting involved will make the whole experience only that much better. Our teachers are young, well qualified, and ready for the commitment of high school teaching. They are available at practically all hours and truly care. My brothers and I do not have a negative thing to say. Our Athletics really kept the Redhawk pride alive through the halls.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2008-02-24 “I am very sorry I sent my child to Marist. The school has too much emphasis on sports and not enough on academics. Furthermore, the teachers at the honors level are not carefully monitored and as a result, they get away with sub-par teaching. Terribly disappointed.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-01-20 “Marist is a place where effort is rewarded. I am far from a genius, but I worked hard at Marist and, as a result, achieved great success there. The academics/faculty are outstanding. Academic support is widely available, putting the path to successes into the students hands. Multiple athletic, social, and academic extra-curricular programs exist, offering something for all. Participation is the key; by taking advantage of these programs, an unconfident/awkward freshman quickly transforms into a mature/focused upperclassman. At Marquette University, I noticed that I was better prepared than many of my peers. Additionally, I noticed that I was much prepared than my peers from other Chicagoland schools. Since graduating, and working for an international accounting firm, I have reflected on my academic experiences. I give Marist the primary credit for my professional and personal development. I look back on my days at Marist with great fondness.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2007-03-05 “My child is a freshman. The environment is academically challenging. The teachers are committed. There is a learning specialist to help meet the needs of the students with learning disabilities. Edline allows parents to track student grades (all teachers should be required to use it regularly.) Unfortunately the student body is not very diverse.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2006-01-06 “Excellent school with a focus on academics as well as respect for your elders and fellow students. I was surprised when the dean of discipline contacted my parents when I was disrepectful towards my teacher - thus allowing my parents to add to the detention already administered at school. Frankly I was a lazy adolescent, however the Marist Brothers were quick to note this and were able to extract more from me. I have no doubt that my successes later in life have a great deal to do with the tutelage I received while attending Marist.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2004-11-19 “Marist's band is horrible. To the post below, the band can't even march. They look good and sound good becuase they can't do anything than stand and play. Also if you call a band good who performs at the football championships think again.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-09-07 “A great school with wonderful and caring instructors-my son has made terrific friends here also!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-08-23 “As a parent of two graduates, 2000 and 2004, and one daugther, the first coed class of 2006, we have been very pleased with the educational environment/curriculum at Marist H.S. It is a wonderful learning community which seeks to bring out the best in their students. As their motto states, they 'educate young men and women in mind, body and spirit.' It is a Catholic high school but has students of other faiths who come to Marist for a strong college prep program particularly in math and science. Marist does a fine job in preparing students for a successful rigorous college experience. It has an excellent band program which has been recognized by their participation in the Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl, and Gator Bowl in recent years. Their Jazz Band has also received high ratings. They have added equal sports activities for the girls with great success. Two thumbs up for Marist!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2004-07-06 “Wonderful school! The Marist Brothers are TRUE educators. I wish we could have a Brother for the principal, as I feel he would give the necessary religious presence we currently lack.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2003-09-09 “I love Marist! There extracurricular activies are so much fun and there is so much involvement. This year I joined many clubs and I think they are the best! I feel like I am part of Marist and have changed me this year. I feel very comfortable especially around all my friends, teachers, and other students. I couldn't think of anything better to be than home, which is Marist.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2003-09-09 “The school went coed in 2002 A really fine school that will prepare your child for college.”
