Teachers at Marin Catholic are kind and helpful, especially the honors/AP teachers. The administration though clearly does not prioritize its students and is inefficient. The Catholic aspect of the school gets in the way of unbiased teaching and learning in English and History classes which is incredibly frustrating.

I loved my experience at Marin Catholic. The community is one of a kind and the school really comes together to support each other. My teachers were great and truly wanted to help me succeed and learn as much as I could – I got to really get to know them all in a way that I wouldn't have been able to at a big school. I'm so glad I went to Marin Catholic.

In math class, a teacher puts you into groups with 3 to 4 people. Then, he/she passes a packet out. You are supposed to teach it to your team or the other way. Let's say that no one in your group understands that new material, (which makes sense because it is NEW and the teacher never explained it to you). The teacher will yell at you.

This school was the worst 4 years of my life. I struggle with many learning disabilities and MC did not help me through it at all. They didn't provide me with the necessary tools I needed to succeed. This school has absolutely no diversity. I had only 2 good teachers during my time here, the rest we...

I agree with most of the recent reviewers, Marin Catholic is a fine school but it's not better than the public schools in the area (if you're zoned for Redwood, Drake or Tam). Honestly, TL or SR might not be good schools but you'll stand out as a star student there if you're halfway decent at school...

I would caution parents to think twice about this school. Overall our experience is that the teachers are more "old school" and the papers do not come back in a timely manner to promote improvement. Also in our experience the theology classes are more focused on dogma than helping the students devel...
