Personally I struggled with anxiety and had to drop the first year, the school offered me an evaluation after going to school for a couple months. Then a semester passed and my anxiety, once again, returned and I didnt go to school. Instead of doing the evaluation or ANY sped tests they sent me to court. It wasn't until after I dropped again to do the evaluation. My very close friend has also shared their experiences with me; many teachers ignore or deny them their 504 plan accommodations, today his summer school teacher kicked him out of the class because he "wasn't going to finish in time" (a test) and told him to stop doing notes that he needed to do more quizzes to bring his grade up. not just this teacher are like this, almost every class either of us had the teachers would be rude if you weren't passing or needed help. They would insist you didnt have the plan unless you went and brought the paper stating you did, and they'd get annoyed and only follow once you report it. The piano teacher also made sure my friend couldn't use his headphones or phone in the class (apart of the 504 along with his phone.) Then go out of their way to embarrass and shame him for not knowing answers and would only pick on him for questions. The art teacher would also make him clean and got mad when he drew or literally just sat there. This school couldn't give a singular care in the world if you had a 504 or any other type of accommodation.

All 4 of my children attended Benito Martinez Elementary. And overall it’s a good school with great teachers. We did notice that since Mr. Hatch became the school principal the school improved a lot. From the facilities to the personal he is doing a great job. He knows every student by name, and does a great job of motivation the students come test time. Thank you to all the personnel at Benito Martinez
