The school itself is fanominal; you will not find a school more dedicated to the success of their students; however I wish some of the teachers would view their students as humans instead of machines. I mean, I guess the same could be said for any school.

Marissa High School is a great school. It's small, but it's nice knowing everyone around you. Making friends is kind of easy, because everyone wants to know who the new kid is. I should know, I've been there. All of my peers were really friendly and welcoming to me when I first got here, and I appreciated that.

Marissa high school is basically a safe high school. We have only had one bomb threat in my four years. Many vulgar things are written on stalls, and it can get a little dramatic during year. The principal handles all the bad issues and usually it settles down and we feel safe.
