"Mixed feelings about The Marvell College"

While my child has generally enjoyed their time at The Marvell College, I do have some concerns about the school's ability to manage student behavior. The facilities are great and the teachers are for the most part supportive, but I've noticed that some students can be quite rowdy at times.
