Academics are ok with teachers who care. Athletic programs are questionable with coaches collecting a check for the most part. No problems with drugs from this parent but as another review stated it's how you raise your children. Best choice between SW, San Ysidro, and Mar Vista.

Of all schools I could have ended up at. Mar Vista IS a gang infested school with no control over the students, and no proper procedures of dealing with gang violence. Students are often segregated and forced to hang out in certain areas of the school despite religion, beliefs, and upbringing. It's not the child who is to blame here. Its the state and what they are doing to prevent such a negative environment.
