This school is amazing. I have never seen a principal who cares more about their staff and…read morestudents than Mrs. Main. She is on top of the happenings at the school. This principal is dedicated and you can tell she cares. The teachers are magnificent and truly dedicated to their students. They are creative and teach outside the box. The PTA here is organized and provide amazing opportunities to build relationships with fun activities including the Mustang Trot, Fun Runs, Spring Flings, Family Nights, etc. I would highly recommend Marshall Elementary for families in the area. Especially military families. The site has military programs and they understand transitions better than any other school in the area. They are a great support system for families in the military.

I've been going to this school since 2013. At the beginning the school was great, and had a lot of…read morefun stuff to do. The teachers were kind and the staff where also. I am now graduating 8th grade here in 11 days and the school has gone to crap. I personally think this school is only supposed to be a elementary school and they shouldn't have a middle school. A lot of the times, they ask for donations a lot but they don't use the money for anything good. They don't have enough jerseys for the kids and the P.E equipment really needs a update. I think they should use what they have on things that need help like the bathrooms. The bathroom are definitely not built for middle schoolers. The sinks are very low and they mirrors are super tiny. I definitely think this school needs some TLC.

This school used to be amazing back in 2010-2014 when my best friend's daughter was at the school…read more Nowadays it's just horrible, the teachers don't help the children with their assignments. The principal is all for the good things, but it seems like the teachers don't want anything good for the students. My best friend's daughter graduated last year, but I'm not going to name any names in fear of the staff trying to get in contact with her again. I rate this 2 stars because I see potential in this school, the teachers can change if the principal takes action, I feel like if the principal DOES take action on making the teachers actually care and help out the kids who need help, this school can go back to how amazing their teaching program was.

Being too shy and chunky when I was a kid really stopped me from having as much fun as I should have had back then in this school, but that didn't stop me from making really good friends and some good times.

Ahhh yes... Elementary school. I'll never forget these times when I was a kid, wrestling in the…read moresandbox with my friends. These are the memories you don't forget people. Even though I was a chunky little kid, my friends never cared and I wasn't picked on back then. I can remember everything about this school, especially that day in 3rd grade where we got a letter home saying that it was mandatory to wear uniforms. Ugh, that was the worst thing ever LOL. I've had plenty of crushes here, but my shy ass would freeze up when I would see the girl I like. I remember my friend in 3rd grade looking at porn in the library before they had firewalls. I remember doing the SUCK IT gesture to these girls with my friends and getting a referral because of it (Damn D-Generation X). I remember moving on to the 4th grade class for math in 2nd grade because I was good at it. I remember winning the spelling bee in 4th grade here and moving on to the regional spelling bee. I remember being on the "Wall of Fame" every year since they came up with it. I remember yo-yo's, POGS!, tech decks, Pokemon cards, kickball, and having the same teacher all day. Now this is the Manzanita International School or something because Manzanita fused with King to make a K-8 school. Of course, every time I pass by it, I'll always think of this school as Manzanita, the place where my childhood will always live on

The campus is locked in by gates due to safety reasons, so no trespassing while students are at school. The academics are great.

Our oldest boy was at MBCS from kindergarten thru 8th grade and was well prepared for high school…read more Our younger, 4 years later, also was at MBCS from kindergarten thru 8th grade. Both graduated at top of their classes. MBCS had about 15 in older son's 8th grade class and younger son's graduating 8th grade class had about 4 due to some staff changes that parents did not like. The education was still good and MBCS dealt with small class size (something the public schools complain about) by combining some grades. Which was not us parents' preference, but it worked. After all, the USA somehow survived long ago in the "one room school house" days of combined grades. It worked and our younger son graduated and went on to MVCS in Watsonville, like his older brother which was an academic kick butt school at least until his senior year when new leadership made changes the staff and students did not like ("IB" etc) and lost experienced teachers. MBCS is affordable at around $7,000 a year. Classes small. Teachers dedicated. They try hard for a small Christian school. And teach both academics for high school prep and good citizenship (Bible teachings) though one does not have to be a professed Christian to attend. Older son went on to MVCS (Watsonville) and was a top student and got a merit scholarship and then on to U.C.Davis which was good on classes but totally sucked at helping him get into a grad school. Davis did nothing to help. Happily older son made a friend of one professor who helped him get accepted into a good grad school in PA, Marywood University (Catholic) where I think she was alumni, and where he did well, got a job in his major and now works full time and is happy with everything but the weather (hot summers, cold winters...not Monterey, CA weather for sure!) It took a lot of effort to even get older son's diploma out of U.C.Davis...huge school, huge classes, huge graduation and so next to nothing in support timeliness and help. Plus did forced "get covid shots or get kicked out" right before classes started so no time to change schools. Younger was a top student at MBCS (the small, mixed grades classes did not hurt...maybe helped with so much individualized teacher/student attention), and then became a top student at MVCS and when applying for college, applied about a dozen schools and was accepted by all. He went to Simpson University in Redding, did well. Good teachers, ho hum counseling dept. A modest sized Christian college where he did well. Worst was 4 in a dorm room for Freshmen, after that he got double rooms with a friend as RA (dorm resident assistant. RA was a good deal...got 1/2 price on cafeteria and free room in dorm as I recall. Plus a $20,000 academic scholarship per year for 4 years. Which was nice for a $50k/year private college (tuition, books/fees, dorm, meals). Then he applied to grad schools, where all but SFSU (San Francisco) the last college I attended, accepted him and is now at Sacramento State University in a very tough doctoral grad program that makes him glad his previous schools were academically intense. So two kids, one now working for a couple hospitals (one full time and one part time) and one a top student due to intense hard work with a heavy, exhausting medical-related academic load, both got their start to successes at MBCS. A small, humble, caring K-8th Seaside, CA Christian school where they began. So yes, I like MBCS because it started out two kids out to a path to successes. And our young niece there is happy. Has friends and likes the teachers. Where could MBCS do better? It could send graded quizzes, tests, etc home each Friday so parents could get weekly "how their kid is doing?" feedback. I think that would be a very helpful idea. Weekly academics feedback instead of less frequent parent/teacher conferences. RH

The principal they have now is amazing and a visionary. The academics for the younger grades (can't speak for older yet) have been great and challenging. Jesus is palpable on campus and everything they do from curriculum to leadership to discipline is through a Biblical world view. Everyone knows every students' name. They are extremely family oriented and all of the staff looks at the whole child before they see them as a student. The class sizes are small and the teachers really learn and work with the individual needs of the students and communicate so well with parents. The students are so well loved and cared for. It's a small but mighty and sweet school!
