Excellent school! Small, yet diverse, with an academically rigorous program and teachers who really care about the students and their success. I would highly recommend this school to anyone new to the area.

As a former student of Mar Vista Middle School, I didn’t expect excellence but I at least expected basic human decency. The teachers were fine, the education was passable, but the way this school allows students to treat one another? Absolutely unacceptable.Let me be crystal clear: my sister was harassed and yelled at by another student to the point of tears and what did the other kids do? Pulled out their phones and started recording. Not to help. Not to intervene. Just to turn someone else’s pain into their entertainment. Disgusting.And where was the school in all of this? Silent. Passive. Letting it slide like it’s just another day. No serious consequences. No accountability. Just a culture of “kids will be kids” while actual harm is being done.Here’s a reality check: ban the phones. Teach your students how to be decent people. Because right now, the only thing some of these kids are learning is how to be bullies with cameras. And to the parents yes, I’m talking to you maybe actually talk to your kids. Because some of them are part of the problem, and either you don’t know it or you’re ignoring it.This school has potential, but the way things are being handled? Mediocre at best, harmful at worst. The world isn’t going to coddle these kids forever reality will slap them hard if you don’t start holding them accountable now.Do better.

Mar Vista Senior High does not encourage their students to be excited about anything education related
