This school was something. First off i was a black student at Marin catholic. They lied about the diversity being a B. There is nobody at that school that you, as a minority, can find the first year. It takes a lot of guts and will power to get through the school but it is a great school for college. The events, sports, and social scene are vibrant at this school but it does get bad at times.

The best parts of my experience at Marin Catholic include the amazing community, teaching, and enjoyable sports programs. The supportive environment has truly shaped me into a better person and prepared me exceptionally well for college. The sports activities are both thrilling to participate in and watch, adding an extra dimension to the school experience.

Marin Catholic is a fun, vibrant, school with many opportunities for its students. Although there are some caveats with the courses that Marin Catholic requires you to do that really doesn't help with college, the academics is professional with excellent Math teachers and an extremely successful history department.

This school has absolutely no diversity. I had only 2 good teachers during my time here, the rest we...

I agree with most of the recent reviewers, Marin Catholic is a fine school but it's not better than the public schools in the area (if you're zoned for Redwood, Drake or Tam). Honestly, TL or SR might not be good schools but you'll stand out as a star student there if you're halfway decent at school...

I would caution parents to think twice about this school. Overall our experience is that the teachers are more "old school" and the papers do not come back in a timely manner to promote improvement. Also in our experience the theology classes are more focused on dogma than helping the students devel...
