Having been a part of this community for over 8 years-can't imagine returning to a public school setting.

Check them out-you won't regret it.

I attended Marantha for junior high and highschool. There are definitely some positives that can be…read moretaken away from the MCS experience but definitely more downside that I witnessed. The fact that there are only 2-3 teachers still teaching from when I attended both junior high and high school is a telling sign to the ability of staff retention. For reference my old kindergarten, elementary, and middle school still have 75% of the teachers from when I attended. If maranatha knew what was best for them they'd do a little more to retain the talent they had in house instead of creating a revolving door of teachers. They hire for the short terms instead of the long term like they used to. Just feels like a bunch of bandaid remedies instead of meaningful change and improvement. They're too focused on being ranked as a top private school instead of actually being a top private school. After you graduate there's practically no reason to stay engaged with the school. The fact google reviews are turned off says a lot. Not a place I will send my own kids...

On the day of the graduation, guess what this school did? Exposed the grades of all the 8th graders…read moreby putting an cross with a circle next to the child's name to indicate a perfect GPA and star next to students who got more that 3.5 lol! Whose permission did they take before doing this breach of trust/ data? Why this stupidity? I attended my grandchild's graduation and was stunned at this breach of publicity like some stamping/branding. Isn't it enough these poor children got thru this hell of a year(pandemic), did they deserve at this tender age this kind of grades data exposure? Teachers are okay, admin is super rude.

This is like the ideal school, so beautiful building that looks like revival Spanish style. I was able to take a mini tour around the patio with the beautiful tile-adorned fountains, looks like a mini village, so nice everything. From the moment you enter, all the interactions are fantastic. The professionals working there seem to be very caring. I hope I can go again for another gig, it was an awesome experience!

Teachers often tell me that as long as I am in school and in class, my grades and work don't matter. I was punished with having multiple grades lowered despite doing work because I was in the hospital. Drug use and bullying is extremely common here, little is done to stop it. Kids are reckless on bikes and motorbikes. Suspension and detention policies are too loose. My entire time here, 6th to 8th, was very depressing and filled with bullying. Students can be forced to go no contact with others rather than have civil conversations. I wish I never attended.

All three were active in sports and campus activities and stayed very engaged. We never had an issue with drinking or drugs or bullying. A lot of the teachers and coaches are alumni and have a great deal of pride in the school. I always found it a real sign of the school's family vibe when I think about the openly gay varsity football cheerleader from my oldest son's 2015 season. The school loved him and he had zero issues with anyone as far as we ever knew. MC is a great school where your kid will learn what they need in class but also what they need to get along in society.

Performing Arts Center review. I recently attended a student…read moreperformance at their Performing Arts Center. When viewing the campus map online it appeared much larger and much more confusing than it actually was. The PA Center was immediately to my left as I pulled onto campus, very easy to find and parking was extremely close too! I also viewed the theater seating chart online to pick my seat. I really loved that it showed me which seats would have a blocked view, encouraging me to pick another one. The theater seemed much larger online than it actually was. So when I chose a front row seat, I had no idea I would be "kick up my feet onto the stage" close. It was still a great seat and I could see the entire performance. The acoustics were good as was the lighting. They could definitely use another bathroom, one is not enough!

Even when you request a meeting with the other party's parents and the school, the school declines and allows the behavior. Not a very welcoming learning environment. If other students call your child a racial slur nothing is done. This is ONE OF the earliest environments these children should learn what is socially, ethically, and morally acceptable because obviously they are not learning this at home. To not hold children accountable for their actions is enabling them to continue the deplorable behavior. In addition the school is saying they agree and encourage the behavior by doing nothing to punish or prevent this behavior.

Poor teaching and lack of support is not what I expected when moving into the Poway school district.
