My daughter attended Saint Martin North from k-5 through third grade. She loved it there, she maintained STRAIGHT A's the whole time she was there. I thank the St Martin public school system for giving my baby a passion for learning, and a drive to succeed!! She now attends Saint Martin Upper and is having the same great experience. Next year she'll be at Saint Martin Middle and she's already looking forward to it!! I can't say enough good things about Saint Martin schools!!! FIVE STARS!!!!

I dont understand the other parents' reviews I've seen calling this a problem school, and claiming that there is a lot of bullying. My daughter (now 13 and in 8th grade) has attended St. Martin schools since 5K and she has absolutely flourished in these schools! She loves going to school, she enjoys learning, and she's never had any behavioral problems, or seen any problematic behaviors of that sort in any other students or staff in the whole 9 years she's been there. My only complain is I wish thier lunch breaks were a little LESS structured, and they were given more freedom to mingle and socialize with other students (I feel this is an important way of letting the children learn how to navigate in a social setting, and how to read and act upon social cues from thier peers. This is a necessary skill they will use in their adult lives, especially as they join the work force and have to comport themselves appropriately as they navigate the social moires in a professional seting. Separating them hinders this essential learning process) As it is they are required to sit with only thier classmates from the class period that they have lunch in. My daughter told me they used to be able to socialize as would be normal, but they had to put a stop to it bc of some fights between other students, so a few bad apples ruined it for everyone. And we all know what kinds of kids those bad apples are. Sadly, this problematic demographic is inescapable in the public school systems. But I would NOT say that St Martin is over ran with that sort. Much better student body than D'Iberville Middle, for instance. Overall we are more than happy with my daughter's eduction and experience at St. Martin! WE LOVE OUR YELLOW JACKETS!!!!

I had a issue with another student and they did nothing about it it was so bad that he should have been charged with SA but all they did was say he has a ruff home also said boys will be boys.

This is one of the best schools in my opinion. It has mostly GREAT teachers, good SES (social emotional support). The special education is also really good. The safety is also amazing. They also help engage families. The only thing lacking is the playground. It needs bigger boundaries. Overall amazing school.

So how can a school call you to ask you to uninroll your child after all most a month because his birthday is 2 days late St Martin East Elementary School it was your mistake and now my child is upset and no one at @st martin school district will answer the phone I am disgusted with the way the school has handle it and the teacher sending a note and all it said was to set up a time pick up his stuff
