If your children are easy to teach and all you care about is the TAKS test this is the place for you. My child has been left behind I will never let my child go to Mary Martin.

Sorry guys. This school is 'nice' on the outside but I'm afraid they are falling short. Limited to no recess, byzantine security rules, and a demoralized staff that oft quotes 'Texas law' as an excuse for mediocraty. We've heard great things about this school distric from others but have witnessed very little. We moved from an A+ area to what has become the second most disappointing school experience next to Phoenix, AZ and that is speaking volumes for a little town in Texas. It is a shame, really.

I hold the principal in high regard as a person, but sometimes I feel like she's more of a spin doctor than a disciplinarian. She can make any situation sound good, but in reality some of the kids that are being allowed to continue to disrupt the classrooms are violent, aggressive and dangerous to other students. They are also inhibiting the learning process. I am dissatisfied because my obedient children are not getting the attention from their teachers. You can't blame a teacher in this situation, they have a job to do and children to teach and they can't do it. There are many fine teachers at Martin. They just don't get the backup they need. I also worry that my children are learning to ignore violence because the administration does.
