The school is a very concerned school. They want to help the children and they definetely work with the Parents. The principal of the school interacts with all of the children. He is super. They have a wonderful program that feeds the children breakfast and lunch. Very nutricious. The breakfast is the most important meal of the day. They have an after school program for the kids that includes tutoring help. My grandson has a teacher that is so dedicated. She stays after school to help the students with their homework and anything else they need help with. I give St. Martin's 5 stars

St Martin de Porres is a school with a caring staff. They go many extra miles to try and help parents and students. The academic expectations are high in accordance with the Diocese and California State Standards.

St. Martin de Porres School is a loving and nuturing environment. The principal is an awesome advocate for the students and the community. The best thing about the elementary school is a teacher name Ms. Pam. She challenges the students and has a good understanding of how to teach the children to value education. The greatest thing about the middle school is a wonderful lady name Sister Teresa, she is simply lovely! However, I would like to challenge the administration at the middle school to obtain additional activities for the students, because the current activities are very minimal.

There are skilled teachers at St. Martin de Porres, particularly the third grade teacher, Mrs. Pam who is a highly educated and structured teacher. She challenges and has high expectation for each student . She took the time to go above and beyond the call of duty. My daughter has come full circle with the extra love and support from Mrs. Pam. Mrs. Pam gave my daughter extra help 3 days a week. She help build her self esteem and Mrs. Pam will never be forgotten she is one of those teachers who has impacted her life forever. Third grade has truely changed my daughter's life. Thank you so much Mrs. Pam 3rd grade teacher 09.

St Martin de Porres has been a positive experience for my son, and he has benefitted from the dedicated staff and small class sizes. Honestly this school suffers from many of the same obstacles as most of our public and charter schools in Oakland and they deal with it the best they can. I also appreciate the faith/ religious support and background the students receive. ( I alsr agree that SMDP is lucky to have 3rd grade teacher Ms. Pam)

St. Martin de Porres School is awesome! My children love this small Catholic School. The teachers and staff treat each student according to his/her needs. The faith centered spirit nourishes the spirit while the mind is being nourished. The children learn something called Discipline with Purpose which helps them self discipline. My five year old can tell me he needs to focus listen! Wow! I highfly recommend this school to anyone in Oakland that wants a holistic education for their child.
