A lot of parents and kids that go to this school take its education for granted. A great majority of the teachers excel at their job and teach their course material well compared to other schools in that area. Yes there may be little diversity and the kids attitudes towards education may be negative, but these kids are smart and hardworking despite what they may think. The school has great music and art departments and a good number of extra curricular activities. Over all this is a good school with competitive, driven students.

I like this school, but forget it if you're not in AP or advanced classes--in regents or "local" classes, the teachers couldn't care less... and neither could the students. On the other hand, AP teachers are top-notch, and their classes filled with students eager to learn.

Marcellus has been relying a past reputation for excellence but during the past 5 years the administrative budget has increased while the student test scores continue to drop. Teachers come unprepared to class as students laugh at the principal as he runs up and down the halls to try to maintain order.
