The school serves approximately 790 students from sixth to eighth grades on its 3500 Fillmore Street campus, while encouraging a strong sense of community involvement. Built in 1936, Marina Middle stands as a sprawling art deco building with facilities to service a large student body. The school offers an expansive library complete with Chromebooks and textbooks for a relaxed study environment. The gymnasium is fully equipped for PE courses ranging from introduction to sports, bicycling, bowling and mixed martial arts. Students can also participate in the school’s soccer, softball, basketball, volleyball, or track and field teams.

The home of the Penguins is dedicated to providing a nurturing learning environment to support their students' transition from elementary to middle school before preparing them for a successful launch into high school.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My time at marina was really fun. The teachers and people here are really cool. Our sports were not very good and the coaches didn't do a very good job. I liked going here but the school looks like a prison yard
