Marina Village has vastly improved over the past several years under the leadership of Principal Levi Cambridge. Our experience has been nothing but great and I would recommend it to any middle schooler.

I have 2 children at Lake Forest Elementary and another who recently promoted. Although there have been some changes in leadership (one leaving to become a superintendent after many years at the school, and the other who it turned out was not a great fit), we have finally found a principal, Dr. Mallot, who is vested in the school, the kids, and the community. She immediately implemented some great ideas including student council, kids announcing news in the morning, STEM after school programs, a cool down room for kids who need it -- she hit the ground running. She also leads by example, never asking her staff to do something she wouldn't do herself. She's an advocate for gifted kids -- which will no doubt help our Academic Progress score increase since we already have above average test scores. She does a good job balancing and meeting the needs of the sometimes difficult-to-manage stakeholders. The parents seem happy, the teachers and staff seem more involved, and most importantly the kids are always put first. We also have supportive parents as evident by the PTC events and involvement. Overall, we are proud to be a part of this amazing school -- especially under this new administration!

There is a lot of entitlement in El Dorado Hills in general but that can be attributed to a student's home life. That is not indicative of this school. The school has been very supportive of my kids and has welcomed my input. I see reviews of sour grapes from some of the parents but these kids finish with a quality education and the majority go on to college.
