Despite the lack of bullying, and its respectful teachers and other staff, this school has an abysmal campus that is depressing to look at. MBHS unfortunately doesn't put enough emphasis on STEM subjects, and some of the dress codes and other policies are absolutely absurd. Although the students hang around the main quad in groups like cattle, for the most part they are kind.

Great high school, academically it is the highest performing in the San Luis Coastal School district. All of my children attended there, my daughter graduated from Cal Poly and recently completed a Master's Degree. My son is working on his doctorate at Univ. of Texas. Morro Bay gave them a great foundation. It has a supportive staff, great teachers, and is one of the most unique sites in the state for a high school, right on the beach! A+
