Marion P Thomas has the potential to be a good school. The school is plagued by unprofessional conduct on behalf of the teachers. The school is also known for spending a great deal of time on petty issues at the expense of teachng. I would not recommend this school. I had 4 children that went there and are now attending Team Academy.
