I like the school but I finish there was more I can learn and grow to be a better student during my time at Marina. I hope that there is improvement in all areas, so future students can learn and grow.

Normal high school experience, focus though felt like it was especially on other kids like the football kids. Could do better if they focused more on the winning sports and empowering them then worrying about other things.

My experience at marina high school is that of a very academic point of view. I'm in a lot of APs and don't have much experience with non advanced classes so just keep that in mind. I believe that our advanced classes and the teachers are very good and passionate about their jobs. I feel as if I am getting a quality education from teachers that truly care about me.
