Marshall Lane is a school that is declining into mediocrity due to its current principal. The test scores have gone up but the environment for the students has gone way down. The programs that used to make the school great are being cut by the principal. The school in now a very good test-taking factory

The families and many of the teachers who have been at the school a while are great but can't make up for the devastation being caused by the leadership. I would recommend either Forest Hill or Capri if you are locked into Campbell Union SD. Both of those schools have better principals, great staff, and offer a much more enriching education than Marshall Lane does right now. Read less

Marshall Lane is a conventional school that excels at being just slightly above average. The best aspect of the school is the PTA, which tries very hard to add enrichment. Academics are pounded into the kinders, who eat in an institutionalized setting at lunch and play on plastic grass at recess. There

Marshal Lane is a great school. My children have been going to this school for many years (some still here, some have moved on) and we have always had positive experiences at this school.

Both of my sons attend(ed) this school, one of them mainstream and one in the special day class (latter has graduated). The special day class teachers and support staff are all amazing. However, the school staff and parental support of the special day class leaves something to be desired. These

His teacher has been very supportive and communicative, even being so progressive as to communicate by email when appropriate. The PTA at Marshall Lane is involved, bordering on fanatical. They do great things for the school. My biggest problem with Marshall Lane is the lack of communication from the principal. I have often not found out about suspensions, etc. until my son told me... And this is something that I should be told by administrative staff. Read less
