Marine View Middle School

A horrible transition for an 8th grader! The kids are disrespectful, unkind bullies with no manners! Children are held accountable for their actions always without full review, but the adult teaching staff are not held accountable to behave as adults. There is much bullying even from the teachers who say berating comments to students. Middle school years are tough, but if you are new, don't spend these formative years here.

marine view is a really good school that provides excellent education and fun for all the students. even though this school has really great teachers and a pretty good principal, it lacks school spirit and fun activities such as fun assemblies, field trips, and clubs to join. with all the budget cuts from the economy, marine view and other schools in the district will have to cut many programs like outdoor ed for the 6th graders, yosemite for the 8th, & more. nonetheless, its a wonderful school (:

Cirriculum taught at a high level and expectations of students is also high. Administration is on top of issues.

This school has great teachers and the principal and vice principal are great too. Although, being a student at this school the kids can be very stuck up and mean. If you are not part of a group it is hard to feel part of the school.

Fantastic teachers, great academic school! social bullying is out of control. Cliques, social segregation & bratS are commonplace. Administration needs to open eyes to the severity of this this situation.

This school is full of children who cannot keep their hands to themselves. My son has endured 1 1/2 years of bullying and nothing has been done about it. We are going to transfer him to a Private school. Many of his friends have had the same issues and left this school for a better place.

So far, not impressed. Went to back to school night to get an idea of the school but it was very disorganized with information given to the parents in a haphazard fashion. Some teachers, and one in particular, seem to be going through the motions. Our child has been docked for missing assignments that were in fact turned in or were never discussed. Disorganized! I realize that with almost 1k kids it's tough in these times and I wish the new principal good luck.

I have two daughters who have attended Marine View School; one who has graduated and one who will be in the seventh grade. Miss Parish is an outstanding educator who has served as both vice-principal and principal of Marine View. She cares about the kids and the curriculum that is taught; she made regular rounds to interact with the students and to be accessible. I also appreciated her quick response to any questions I had. I will miss her at Marine View and wish her well at her new school.

Not that great of a school! All they care about is kids going well in school and they dont even have teachers to teachers to teach the kids! Mrs Parish and Mr Cross are horiable principals. They dont even care about the kids and are very mena about it. There are some teachers that dont even know what they are talking about and are very mean to kids. The lunch ladies are really mean and dont help the kids at all and the kids have to much hand on with the other students. There are boys and girls that are all over eachother and no one seems to care... I hope the new principal is alot better then our old Mrs Parish

SO, we have been at Marine View for 1 year. I'm not impressed. I think the school lacked leadership by the Principal. I guess I can only write about her. I dont think she had the skills to manage a Middle School or the staff that came with it. We just got a new Principal so maybe things will change. I do believe that there are teachers here that are not held accountable for the classes they teach and the grades the kids are getting. Maybe our new Principal will change that and make the teachers care a little more. Its not all the teachers. There are some INCREDIBLE teachers here who were definitely supposed to be teachers because they shine at it and the kids know it. (Mr Fotanakes and Ms Silver are both wonderful). Note to the new Principal, hold teachers accountable, especially the ones that have tenure.

I had some great years in Marine View. All my teachers were nice and made learning fun. I would like to thank Mrs. Ybarra for teaching wonderful lit/lang. It was a blast in her class. Mrs. Robinson was a great math teacher.

I'm a student at Marine View and I think it is the best school EVER!!! They have an activity for everyone! For example, Jazz Ensemble and the sports teams! They even have Pick Up Stix and What a Lotta Pizza! This school is awesome and I'm sad that I have to leave one day! Lastly, the teachers at this school are amazing! They have all taught me so much! ;-)

Marine View is a wonderful school. The standards are very high and the teachers keep in touch with the parents. As a parent I feel very involved and happy with my son's education. He is a spec ed student, and the staff have done everything they can to keep him included and keep me in the loop. I couldn't have wished for a better middle school experience for my son or myself.

Overall, my three years at Marine View was the most memorable time of my life so far. I made so many great friends and experienced so many important life lessons. The principal and staff are so wonderful and full of school spirit. Along with a champion sports team, Marine View offers a fabulous music program and show choir, of which I participated in. Of all the schools in the area, I definitely recommend Marine View Middle School.
