Overall, Marina is a pretty good school in the area. Many students I've met are academically driven or passionate about their interest in sports, the arts, etc. It's a place to grow your passions with the assistance of helpful teachers.

I really enjoyed my time at Marina. I participated in multiple sports and and both AP and CP classes. Overall, I had multiple teachers I didn't love, due to unfairness in terms of forgiveness for missed classes. The facilities are nice, and classrooms are clean and well kept up. Staff does a good job and keep the school safe. The school spirit is great. Our ASB teacher was one of the most spirited people I've ever met.
