My children went from being model students in the classroom, helping & even reminding other students of the class rules to now they complain DAILY about being bullied and are apparently disruptive and now also starting issues with other students. No it’s not okay for them to act that way but everyone has a breaking point and this is a very drastic behavior change since switching schools. Now “meetings” & “discussions “ about their behavior are happening but I’m not being included or informed about any of these discussions. I only know because I asked for a meeting & was told I have to wait till they do their meeting. Like … what?! I do NOT recommend this school. My youngest was even tackled by a student TWICE his size and sent home with bruises on his face.

Hostile, coercive, unprofessional and culturally insensitive to their students and the families that were segregated into this school with undesirable pipelines.

My experience as a parent has been nothing but positive. The school has such a strong community vibe and whenever I pick up my child every day, it seems she has made a new friend of a different age. This place is very special, and we feel very fortunate to be a Marlin family.

Racism at this school. Do not send your children here at all. This school is not a safe school.

I had my girl in this school for 3 months recently. I am glad that I took her out and would not recommend this place. Couple of things:The teacher/student ratio is variable on day-to-day basis. Some days I saw more students in a class. Also my girl would be with different teachers and friends on a regular basis. While this may seem a minor issue, I personally prefer having the same teachers and peers in her class and this is important for her to feel comfortable and learn from her peers.Many days I've noticed teachers on mobile phones during school hours. This is very annoying. As a parent, I'd want my kid to stay safe under an adult supervision and this was a big minus here. More specifically, in the classroom where my girl was, the teacher was juggling between the class and office, so there were times where these kids are unsupervised. This really freaked me out.Overall, I did not find my girl learning substantially in these 3 months while I saved few hundred bucks in tuition.

I came to study at this school all the way from Bangladesh, this school has changed my life and I would not change anything about my High School experience even if I could.
