I think that overall Marvin Ridge is a great high school. It is easy to speak your mind and ask for change, it just takes a while for it to happen. I don't find myself often interacting with administration and the college process has mostly been my reasearching on my own. Football games and other school events are really fun, but spirt weeks are often lack lustered. The school has a good overall atmosphere, I have never seen anyone being bullied in the halls, but I do wish the staff was a little more involved.

Although I've only been at Marvin Ridge High School for less than a month, I already feel a sense of belonging here. It is emphasized that all the teachers, sstaff, and faculty are here to help you and give the best high school experience possible, and I find that to be true. Academic excellence is made easier with the wonderful teachers who gracefully explain complex topics, and the students (for the most part) are polite and open.

Overall the school is a welcoming environment that provides a a great experience as well as good support to its students.

Marvin is a great school academically but not socially. I have found that an avocado amount of kids are rude and not interested in meeting new people. There are very distinct groups of people that hangout together. The only way to be a part of said groups was to go to elementary school with everyone...

This school is not what you want. High test scores mean nothing when colleges compare you to the rest of your school. If you do well and take many APs, this means almost nothing as everyone here does. Sending your child here will not increase their rate of getting into good schools, quite the opposi...

Marvin Ridge does have a good curriculum and has achieved great things academically, but they are still lacking in a few areas I believe.The bussing is fairly bad, though maybe it's understandable because of bus shortages, and the car traffic management isn't amazing. Also, the cultural atmosphere i...
