I graduated from Marina about 6 years ago and I have to say that the school was Ok. I cant judge the teachers as a whole because it wouldnt do them justice but the teachers that I had were amazing teachers. But some of the teachers were not qualified to teach at all. The after school programs that Marina had to offer at the time were amazing, since then they added a skateboarding program and have renovated the exterior of the school. The interior is drab and from what I remember the bathrooms looked like they hadnt been remodeled since the 60s, this goes for the locker rooms. As a Latina I felt a bit excluded because the majority of the students there are of Asian descent. The students are a bit ghetto therefore making the school seem ghetto for the area its located in. Dont catch the 22 after Marina lets out.

Had a wonderful experience touring the school with Mr. Mak he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

My child is going there and I heard many great news about this school! I cant wait to hear about it when my child comes home from summer school tomorrow!

School staff is very gentle and supportive. I love this school.

Im currently in Marina its a good school but has very few teachers that actually care about your grades.Aleks is a pretty good program,you might think oh the kids that says the money put into it can be used for more important things,are the lazy and misbehaved ones.But No Im a 4.0 student and honesty thing the thousands of dollars used for Aleks should be used for new textbooks or remodeling the girls locker room,bathroom,and BETTER teachers.I know no kid feels safe in the yard or hallways theres a lot of bullying and drama all the time,frequent physical fights a lot of cussing.Bus 22 is not very safe for some students ,really ghetto and some students feel like they rule the bus and can do whatever they want.We need more assemblys talking about bullying and all those stuff.One of the problems about this topic is the staff(yes all the staff including counselors,teachers and principal)always protect the bullies.Staff need to be more attentive to prevent these problems.We barley talk about respecting each other for example I see boys being really inappropriate to girls (yes its usually only boys) it makes me feel very disturbed.P.E is almost perfect but some teachers just sometimes are to strict sorry but making someone keep going even thought they can clearly see that there dyimg is messed up.

Graduated 2014, it was an overall great experience. I made a lot of good, loyal friends. Teachers taught well for the most part. School Lunch was not all that great and students would cut in line all the time. Never finished watching Disney Pixars Finding Nemo in my 3 years during rainy days. Bathroom stalls next to Boys Locker Room. Regular classes (not honors) were full of ghetto students (75% of the class) who never did any of the classwork or homework. 22 Fillmore line is very noisy after all the students get on after school, not a very comfortable bus ride. A few fights.

I like marina its okay and there might be a lot of drama in the yard because i have had that expirence a lot i still go here and i like it all you people should send your kids here its a really fun school well think about it

Everyone is nice and they have a very good teachers and staff everyone helps you get involved and have fun

Marina is an ok school but when u get on the 22 its so ghetto. Some of the teachers are really cool and some teachers are so mean but Marina is not that bad

This is an okaaay school. Some of the teachers try hard while others slack off. Its basically a 50/50 chance of getting a good experience but its fun.

Im a student myself so you cant argue with me about whether I am correct or wrong. But i just want to show you what kind of school this is. This school is a really good school I am not going to lie. The teachers are very nice, the children are above just decent and the work load is good, but why did i give this school such a terrible grade you may ask? ALEKS. Mrs. Fong decided to waste hundreds of thousands of dollars to give us a new assignment called ALEKS. I did the math 985,000 dollars were wasted just to give us students busy work. WE HAVE TEXTBOOKS FROM TEN YEARS AGO WHY DO WE GET EXTRA THINGS WHEN WE CURRENTLY DONT HAVE THE NECESSITIES!!!!! Our textbooks are ten years old, they have extreme vulgar images and texts written in them, they are falling apart and half of the things that are in the textbooks are either outdated, wrong, or basic (already known) lessons/knowledge. And guess what all of the things we do on the assignments we just forget anyway. Also ,this is basic knowledge, students such as ourselves learn A LOT better when we are being taught by someone in front of us. This also shows how lazy Mrs.Fong and the teachers are, because they are paying others to do their job for them.Other than that the rest of the school is pretty good except for the once in a life time fight. Kids fight all the time, but a real fight breaks out once in a life time again its very rare.

I went to marina and it was awweeeesssoommmee!!! its a great experience for how life is in the real world wen u become an adult. only person i didnt like was ms. mankus the art teacher. first u think shes an awesome person then she becomes a real female dog jus cuz of little mistakes u make anywhere the kids there are great friends ..the best ive made in any school i ever went to.even though its mostly asian kids there are ur black white mexican filipino etc. kids. u shuld put ur kid in this skool...oh also even though people describe as drab and the yard is concrete. there is a track field basketball courts and a volleyball court its still a good scholl it gives u a real sf or any junior high experience. GREAT SCHOOL
