We have had the worst experience at this school. For an elementary school, there is way too much toxicity. Fights between 10/11 year olds, children harassing other children, teachers not receiving the help they need and IEPs being ignored. This new administration is toxic and unwelcoming. There is always new people walking the halls and never any new jobs being posted. The information sent from the school is never consistent and rarely timely. It's incredibly disappointing because this was not how TC Martin was run 3 years ago. We will not be sending our children back next year for their safety and are seriously considering pulling them immediately after seeing a parent share about her daughter being threatened with rape and the school called it "joking". Absolutely horrendous.

I have 3 boys at TC Martin in grades 1st, 2nd and 5th. This is our 2nd year at the school and although we are currently housed in the transition school, the teachers are making the best of the relocation. We receive updates via class dojo and parentvue multiple times per week. My kids love going to the school and enjoy the many activities the school hosts. From family art nights, to school dances, to movie nights, to the fun run. There's always something going on to help parents and teachers engage with the kids. We're looking forward to the school building getting completed so the kids can enjoy the new space. The only negative we have experienced with the school relates to the buses. Of course, not something controlled by the school itself, but the bus drivers are not always reliable and there is frequent turn over. The school is at least quick to respond when transportation changes occur. We'd also like to see more options for the kids in the library once the new space is renovated. Overall, the teachers really do care about the kids and want them to succeed. As with anything, you get back what you put in. Even though my husband and I work full-time, we do our best to participate in the activities and support the teachers where we can. If everyone contributes to the well being of the school, it will be a success overall. We have seen reading scores skyrocket for our kids thanks to the reading resource teacher who meets with the kids individually. Without her, my kids wouldn't be 2-3 grade levels ahead in reading. We truly love TC Martin and we're happy to be zoned for such a great school.

We had an amazing experience at this school and were sad to leave. They really instilled character into the students and had no tolerance for bullying. The teachers that we encountered were great about communicating with me and were easily accessible by email and phone!

Excellent instruction and values by teachers and other staff. Great support for students and families. My children consistently love their experience at this school, and are learning by leaps and bounds. My son's performance on the common core test for 1st grade math was 125% above the county average, thanks to his teacher!
