Marion Independent School District
The Marion Independent School District serves over 2,700 students and is the oldest district in Linn County. Supported by superior teachers and a low student-to-teacher ratio, our students are consistently ranked above the national average on standardized tests. We take pride in a strong Fine and Performing Arts program, and our music program was named the Exemplary Music Program in the state of Iowa last year. Our thriving athletic programs annually produce conference championships and state place winnings. The success of our schools are reflected by the approximately 79% of our students who participate in school activities outside the academic day.
Linn-Mar School District
Linn-Mar is a nationally acclaimed public school district - one of the very best in the Midwest. Superior staff, administration and the Board of Education are committed to the education of over 6,000 students. Low student-teacher ratio, state of the art curriculum, full-day kindergarten, plus a full range of extra-curricular opportunities and services for gifted and special needs students make it obvious why Linn-Mar is the district of choice for families throughout the metro area.
