Marina High School

Overall I am neutral when it comes to the school since, on one hand, it has hard working teachers but on the other, the people running the school are uncoordinated when it comes to almost anything. When relying on teaching and learning Marina is decent but when it comes to disciplinary actions I have heard it is better to leave then to deal with the staff breathing down your back without cause.

Overall the good teachers (and school leadership that somewhat tries) slightly make up for all the abysmal sewage that seeps out from every nook and cranny here. And it is still leagues better than most MPUSD schools. The last bit being the only reason for a third star.

Two of my sons attended Marina while my oldest attended Westminster High School. Actually thought WHS was a better school. There were a few teachers at Marina High School that were off the charts on caring and teaching to their students staying after on a routine basis, but there were also a couple that were just done and they should be out of there as just awful. The office staff and guidance office came across very entitled and snobby.

My son attends this school. He is very happy with the teachers and student body. I am disappointed with the Great School Rating. Frankly, given the caring attitude of the teachers, I am surprised the rating is not better.
