Bon Air Elementary School

There is a lot of bullying here

My intelligent son with sensory processing issues was treated like a second class citizen at Martin School. He was poked in the arm & shoulder multiple times while being screamed at, only inches away, by his primary teacher. I learned of this through classmates of his, he was afraid to tell. Refused to review kids for IEP's. 90% of recesses missed for punishments. My son had therapy for school anxiety. His therapists wanted me to press legal action, but instead I put my son in a different school & he immediately thrived! My intelligent daughter wears hearing aids and Martin School refused to provide any kind of assistance to her. When she switched schools with her brother, the new school immediately gave her an IEP, including an FM system to use in class. Her information processing during class rose to 98% from 48%!!! My stomach aches for all of the children missing out on assistance that Martin legally has an obligation to provide!

Great experience with this school! My son's reading skills have increased dramatically! As well as math, art, & social studies. It's 2020 and I'm not sure why the previous comment says they lack classes -- My son has an art teacher, music teacher, library time, and science. My son is learning about kindness, manners, morals, forgiveness... Things that we teach him at home but this is the place he spends a large portion of his time --it's great knowing they are instilling the same values. We planned on sending him to Highlands until I found out there are up to 35 students per class. At Blessed Sacrament School there were 14 students in his kindergarten class! I can't say enough about this school. Well worth the tuition.
