As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote My two kids were in the Marine Science Academy and had an excellent education. The teachers were great! There were a lot of hands-on activities and real-life problem solving. The students did a lot of research at the creek and at the beach and learned how to become stewards of the environment. One of my kids is going to grad school and the other will be in college majoring in engineering. They were not bullied, but maybe because I did not allow them to be on social media and have always kept in touch with the teachers (who are terrific)! The principal is very supportive. The district, however, is not as supportive as it should be!
By the way, I know Marina teachers have also sent their children to Marina. That says a lot about a school! Close Quote

Open Quote The Performing Arts Magnet is horrible. With the exception of a few teachers who care, the leadership is lacking and there is nothing done to address bullying and fights. The principal is a joke and has been removed at least once, if not more, after a parent went to the district about her child being physically hurt and the school did nothing. Just search youtube for Marina Del Rey Middle School fights and you will see the type of stuff that goes on. It also misrepresents itself as a performing arts school, whereas it's just really a regular school that has a couple dance classes and some kids play instruments. I really regret my child going here and would not recommend this school to anyone. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
