Marathon Independent School District is a school district based in Marathon, a census-designated place in Brewster County, Texas, United States.

Marathon ISD serves Marathon and a few surrounding areas of northeastern Brewster County. The district has one K-12 school,[2] with two buildings: a secondary school building and an elementary school building.[3]

It is classified as a 1A school by the UIL. Typically due to its isolation, Marathon generally has the lowest high school enrollment in the state. Marathon's secondary division serves grades 7-12. For the 2021-2022 school year, the school was given an "A" by the Texas Education Agency.[4]
