According to the TEA’s letter notifying the district of its accreditation status,

Marlin school officials learned in August 2017 that the district had failed to meet

Buckholts fell short in accountability ratings in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017,
the TEA said.

Check out the Texas Education Agency 2017 Accountability Report for this school. Enter "Marlin" in the search box and select "MARLIN H S" in the selection box.

According to Index 4, 32% meet the grade level standard, yet 94% graduate.
