The stuff there know nothing about the events at the school. I asked for a print out of the events going on at the school such as when there is no school half days anything of that sort and they tell me to look on there website I mean seriously u can't tell me anything other than look on the website. Another time I asked them about picture day and the lady knew no information about what they could wear she couldn't tell me the price of the pictures nothing they r so clueless at that school. In the winter time there was a block of ice covering the whole sidewalk on one ever broke it up for a wk kids and parents could barely walk on it only way it was gone cuz the snow melt it.

The office staff are unhelpful, rude, and uninterested in what parent or student needs are. Everyone else in the school is friendly and kind for the most part. The school nurse is great, for instance. However, as a parent, I groaned every time I had to call or stop by the office. The teacher used corporal punishment, which I feel is inappropriate, particularly for talking in class. Is it really necessary to resort to that for such a minor offense? There are extensive plumbing problems--just try to find a working water fountain. I'm pulling my student from this environment.

The teachers are very concerned for the children's needs and are nice and respectful. However, the office staff (two ladies) need strong customer service training. I've been there about four times and they are rude. The first day I went they were very rude with me and with all the parents that walked in the office. It's like a norm for them to be rude. The assistant principal cares if you have been helped. He's a nice man.

This is the worst school I have ever known. Words cant explain all the trouble i been through with this school. The staff is very disrespectful especially the social worker. I am taking my son out of this school.

I love Marquette School because the teachers take a sincere interest in helping the children learn and surpass their norm of doing good and instil in them the importance of doing great!
