Read what parents are saying about Martin Luther High School
I have been attending this school for 3 years now. Through those 3 years I have seen horrible bullying and I have been bullied multiple times. The Dean of students does not do anything he does not even call the parents to notify them that the child is in distress. Thee principal should be more active in the lives of the students, instead he sits in the hallways saying hi to kids which is nice, but he is always looking for a problem. Same with the Dean of Students. There have been so many weird incidents. In one case a 2 boys assaulted a young boy in the boys locker room. It was claimed sexually harassment and some people were recording. They suspended the 2 boys for a week for harassing that little boy, but they'll expel a kid for getting in a small "fight" altercation with one another. All the school cares about is money and sports. If you are a good athlete you are a privileged student, especially if you're on the basketball team. This school is really racist and no one cares. Some one will call a student a deroggative name and the teachers don't even care. I rate this school 2 stars only because some of the teachers care otherwise I would rate it 1 star.

I would give the school zero starts if I could. I WILL NEVER recommend Martin Luther to anyone. The school’s “bullying policy” is ridiculous. The school protects those kids whose family are high up in the churches, as those kids seem to do no wrong. I’ve witnessed much bullying that the facility had never stepped in to help. I’ve been in classrooms were the teachers joined in on picking and harassing a student!!!! That is definitely not a Christian like atmosphere. It’s truly disgusting. I had attended Martin Luther all 4 years and after my experience my parents decided to send my younger sibling to public school. I was bullied for a year and with physical evidence too. When talking to the faculty about the situation nothing was done I was told to pray about it and they looked the other way. After a year of being harassed and miserable and not wanting to attend school. After receiving hurtful threats through social media during school hours I might add. The school did nothing so when I told this person to leave me alone or if they want a fight I’ll fight them. I was threatened to be suspended!!! Suspended for standing up for my self after the school wouldn’t do anything. Another classmate was bullied so badly by a group of girls whose parents had a lot of money so the school did nothing. Those girls parents actually had to get the police involved and she ended up leaving. Public schools are far more advanced academically, and have a better anti-bullying policy. The school had changed over the 4 years of me being there. Not offering the same classes, or having the option for those advanced classes. The school is to focused on its sport teams and nothing else. They don’t care if kids are actually failing there classes as long as they are able to be out on the court they can pass by with a almost D or multiple D’s just make sure they can shoot hoops. A public school is the best option you could make for you’re child. A public school offers more options and more advanced opportunities. I wish my parents would have saved the money and sent me to a public school. It would have been a much better experience, and I would have had the chance to actually be challenged academically, as well as the school not tolerating harassment.

MLHS is a wonderful high school community. Teachers, administrators and staff consider their roles in this community a mission to use their gifts to radiate God's love and to provide a holistic, caring and safe learning environment for their students. Teachers and administrators are easily accessible to parents and work well with parents as a team to promote good study habits and correct undesirable behaviors. The school principal is often outside welcoming students and greeting parents on nearly a daily basis. Course offerings during the COVID-19 pandemic included classroom, virtual, and hybrid options, and superior quality instruction was maintained in either option. Daily beginning-of-day and end-of-day prayers and one to two chapel services each week emphasize God's overarching role in the MLHS community and give students opportunity to worship and grow in their relationships with Him. The school welcomes a diverse community reflecting Milwaukee's diverse ethnic groups. The school also offers an international program that welcomes students from other countries and guides students through the F1 student visa application process. The English as a Second Language (ESL) program interactively teaches English language and American culture in a manner that helps students quickly grasp and advance their English language skills. The new dormitory building on campus for international students is modern and impressive.

As an alumni, and now the parent of a recent graduate, I am sad to say that I cannot in good faith recommend this school to anyone. Not only is it incredibly overpriced for what they actually offer, the administration is unprofessional, arrogant, and incompetent. They do not require all teachers to have actual certification, and the communication between parents and the administration about what goes on in the school is abysmal. They claim to "teach truth," but will cover anything up that makes them look bad, which is the exact opposite of how we raise our children. We were so disappointed, that we decided to send our other child to a public school. We found the public school to be light years ahead academically, and were treated in a far more Christian manner by the public school staff than by anyone at ML. ML will only give you the time of day if you are affiliated with a certain local church, too bad they did not realize we had money to invest in them as well.
