Martin Elementary School

Spare yourself and go to another elementary school. Cynthia had us going back and forth for 2 weeks. We would bring once thing in to register a pre k student and then she would mention another. Then another. Then another. Instead of telling us all once. Zero consideration for working parents and the time they need to take all the documents to the school. Different requirements for Pre K that she says are online but you really need to look for cause they aren’t the ones posted at all. Nowhere online does it say that if you live in someone else’s residence, you need to bring that person in as well. So Cynthia also likes to make up her own rules or tell people everything is online when it actually isn’t but she won’t tell you all you need upfront either. Will not give you all the information up front and 2 weeks later will just say “sorry! Can’t go back in time! That’s life! There are rules!” Yes there are! Like not disclosing child information to other people but the parents but I was just helping the parent of this child register and she gave me and took all confidential information without ever asking who I was. There are better schools that will take care of you and care for your kids and time more. Go with those instead.

The problems that have occurred at this school are internal. There has been many complaints about the current principal. Especially newer teachers that have gone there and even teachers that were experienced left because of the current principal. There could be so much more that can be done but time will tell.

As former alumni this school is absolutely horrible. The policies are a joke, it was a waste of money and a horrible learning environment for students. It was extremely racist and extremely disrespectful. It’s a horrible social environment as well as too constraining of a school. As soon as I made the switch to a school with a good curriculum, as well as an amazing student environment, I was so much happier and learning faster than I ever would at St John Bosco.
