Marion C. Early High School

MCE has a background of graduating seniors that go on to be professionals in their chosen filed, mainly through the teaching and encouragement of excellent, caring educators and school board members. Hopefully a bond issued will be passed for a new high school!

Ive been at this school for 3 years and me and my family are not very happy with it. The school is falling apart and the town wont pass the levy to build a new one. The school is extreamly small therefore provides good one on one attention but they teach a lot of the same things year after year. I came from another school in a different part of the country to here and they are so far behind that were still learning things that I learned in my other school 3 years prior. They dont offer football and a lot of other sports.

This is actually a student. This school may not be the best but we are the nicest. Each time we get a new student they never have trouble fitting in. Even since most of are students are white when we had african-americans come to our school they fit in easily. Trust me kids love this school the teachers will do anything to help but we may not have all the stuff but we will do anything. One more thing we dont have football. :(

The DESE district manager said that this school has 'internal problems' that need to be addressed by the board. Hopefully they will take care of these issues, so that our children do not suffer the consequences.

Mrs. Killian has done a great job with the high school. There are still a few teachers there that should probably look into finding new professions, but overall, MCE is one of the better schools in Polk County.
