St. Martha School Reviews

 
I went to this school for two years. It was good but had its downsides. The principal was too concerned with uniforms. I was having problems with losing a parent and one day I was crying as I went to the nurse and she was rude and all she cared about was the blue shirt under my school shirt but I got help from other adults at school. I did have problems with one teacher at school but all my other teachers were wonderful, caring and helpful. I am blessed I had people around me that cared during my time at the school.

The principal has no oversight in the school! There is so much bullying going on it its ridiculous. Unfortunately, it is going to come down to something serious happening before any action will take place.

The principal is more interested in the uniform than the education. The children are only allowed to walk in circles at lunch recess. Ever since the automatic church withdrawl began (what a great idea that was!!!) the attendance at church has dramatically decreased. My 3 year old wants to know why the church is so empty. I like the teachers and the attention my child gets; however, I do not like the principal and for the expensive cost to attend school, I am 100% sure that my child will be going to Christ The King in the fall. Their tutition is lower, the offer foreign languages, and everyone rated their pincipal 5 stars. Not happy at St. Martha School.....

I pulled my 3rd grade out!!! starting from the priest who talks finacial reports during the homily to stressing children to a point of not wanting to go to school. My child was always scared she was going to be embarrassed in the classroom and they would degrade my student and that is not good for a 3rd graders self esteem. Im so glad im out of there.

I am not at all happy with St. Martha School. I believe that the new Principal is more concerned with uniforms than with our children's education. The school has definately gone down hill since Mrs. Donofry arrived. I believe her to be uncaring and uninteressted in the students unless it suits her need for them. That being said, there are some caring teachers who honestly care about the children and their education. However, I will not be sending my 4 children back to St. Martha's in the fall.

I feel that Saint Martha's school has very caring and qualified teachers. The teachers go above and beyond the call of duty. They strive to reach all the children's unique needs.

I have to say that I love St. Martha's school. I feel that the parents of St. Martha school should feel comfort in the fact that their children are part of a small community and a safe environment. Tuition is a fortune and the whole uniform thing can be unnerving, however, because of the structure and the small school size, our children feel safe, and a sense of belonging. Many of the larger schools can be very overwhelming, and the children have to grow up sooo fast. Be grateful, it really is a good school, I try to over the politics. I would like to see a Drama club, that would be fun:)One, more thing, the teachers, are EXCELLENT!

St. Martha Elementary Echool has many good programs. I would love to see them increase the availability of foreign language classes for the children and would love to see music offered as an extracurricular activity for children who were interested. Unfortunately at present we seem to be more focused on improving the uniform than in improving the academics.

St. Martha school is a great school. My daughter is a straight a student. The teachers keep the parents involved in the school work, everything needs to be reviewed and signed by the parent. Parent teacher conferences are always welcome. They offer sports for both girls and boys, and other programs such as art, music, and choir... Which is really nice because the kids get to perform in plays with the high school kids (located next door to the elem school) and it allows them to get to know them as well. Parents are always welcome to volunteer where help is or isnt needed. Home and school meetings are atleast every other month. Very clean environment.
