Posted by a parent on 3/13/2018This school couldn't care less about your children. They will not be nurtured in a caring academic environment. My child has come home crying several times for being berated for minor infractions, like skipping on the play ground. My son is a straight A student with excellent behavior. I personally
Posted by a parent on 1/6/2015Since the New Principal took over, the school has down graded, even though the Principal thinks she is doing a "Great Job." She is the one who blocks parents from ENJOYING PTO meetings and helping with changing things. Everything has to go through her and she basically does not want any change. The
Posted by a parent on 3/21/2013i really liked this school at one point but not anymore. the principal of many years retired and somebody new took over as of the 2009-10 school year. it has been all downhill since then. however, my criticism does not apply to the pre-k program. the pre-k teacher is wonderful, couldn't get anyone b

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageExperiences at St Martin's can be rich and fulfilling with certain faculty in certain classrooms. Issues described in the post from a parent stating the statistics of the school across multiple years is unfortunately accurate. Under the new leadership, the situation has not changed. The school does continue to lack diversity not only in the student body but in the faculty as well. Lack of discipline remains a issue. Class size, while small and intimate, can create social challenges for students. Tuition money is to root of acceptance and retention in regard to consistent discipline issues that are not addressed sternly enough to prevent them from reoccurring. Alum hiring and retention remains the primary focus of the faculty. Endowment funds guide faculty retention decisions and allow for continued poor behaviors. Systemic issues remain at the heart of the growth issue for this institution.Other Review7mo ago - St. Edward The Confessor School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy child has went to school here for many years I have seen a massive decline in teachers actually teaching the students majority of the time they expect the parents to teach the students and the students typically have no clue what's going on at the end of the day other than that great School if you want to essentially homeschool your kid and pay for it just so they can be around other kids that are Catholic.Parent Review6mo ago - St. Christopher School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have not ever experienced the sense of community at any other school than what they have at St. Benilde. We came from another Catholic school with a child who made As, hands down, phenomenal culture. The Principle here is doing great things. This was an “in between” for us through pandemic times and we decided to stay. Happy.Parent Review3y ago
