We moved to the area specifically for the school district and could not have made a better choice for our growing family. All the teachers at Marvin Elementary have been exceptional.

This school is already extraordinary given the heart-breakingly thin funding, and the teachers are nothing if not devoted. The new principal, however, seems to be struggling to shoulder the legacy of the visionary that left for a swankier job :( and needs to be better informed on how to advocate for and improve on the innovative programs the school is offering. Otherwise they will wither on the vine. Need standards and performance monitoring for the Chinese immersion program, as well as the standard ed component within it! Finally, not enough resources exist to offer individualized assistance to students who excel (or struggle) in any particular academic, athletic or social endeavor. If there is only enough money for one part-time teacher to teach several classfuls of kids, advancing individual talent won't happen no matter how dedicated the teacher is. Yes, that means taxes might need to be a little higher than than the current $3 per year or so. Most families in this district are far north of the poverty line.
