We are so pleased with this school. They provide a great academic and religious education here! The minute we took a tour we knew we found the right place. It's a nuturing environment and the teachers really care and take the time to get to know each child individually. The is a lot of parent involvement as well...you can tell priorities are in the right place. I would recommend St. Martha Catholic School, without hesitation!

Private school level academics with the expected Catholic faith and community service teachings at a very affordable tuition well below that of area private and Christian schools. An inviting atmosphere that encourages high levels of parent involvement. Great facilities with plans to expand classrooms and add a new gym.

St. Martha Catholic Schoool is outstanding. Not only are the acedemics spot on, but their involvement in community activities and others' needs exceeds most other school in the county. The faculty works so well together to keep on top of today's ever-evolving student.

I am a veteran Catholic educator with many years of experience, in a number of different states. St. Martha Catholic School is top notch. It provides excellent academics along with faith and character development. It is a wonderful community to be a part of.

This is my seventeenth year working at St. Martha Catholic School. We have a very supportive staff working here. The children and their families are special to all of us. I am so lucky to be involved with such a wonderful school family.

I love St. Martha Catholic School! Aside from the best staff around, the students are amazing! I am so lucky to work with the children in my classes. The best part about teaching in such a wonderful place is seeing the smiles on the faces of the children when they say hello to you, whether you've had them as a student or not.

I have two children both in middle school at St. Marthas. They love all of the children that they attend school with- they are all great kids, that was not the problem. The staff will not allow the children to have any originality! There is a rule for everything and I believe this school is very overpriced. They are now asking for us to buy a certain pair of shoes for our kids. They are already not allowed to wear makeup, bracelets, necklaces, pattern headbands, socks below the ankles, nail polish, etc. My children often complain that the middle school teachers do not even teach. They come asking for my help saying they have no idea what the material is. Keep in mind both my kids are very bright but are stuck teaching themselves. I regret my school choice now.

We have 2 children attending St. Martha Catholic School. Both are very different, and the teachers respond positively to both! Rarely today do you see teachers going the extra step to make sure your child succeeds, but this is the norm at St. Martha Catholic School. My son's teacher even calls him at home to let him know how proud she is of him and to keep up the good work (she'll also let us know if he's slipping). Normally you hear teachers calling or contacting you on negative behavior. It is so nice to have positive reinforcement of good behavior. It's also nice to know that the counselor and resource teacher are also there to assist students whenever it is necessary. I wouldn't dream of sending my children anywhere else! Not only are they getting an excellent education, but they are also have their values reenforced.

This is a very good school. While the classes may be somewhat larger than those of public schools, I have never felt it affected my child's learning or special attention they may require. While my child was getting acceptable grades, they thought she would benefit from additional help and proactively brought in the resource teacher to work with her. I've found the children generally kind to one another and when an issue does arise, the teacher is quick to respond appropriately. The academic curriculum is strong. The values & discipline typically associated with a catholic school are present, but delivered in a very positive & happy environment.

I think the classes are over crowded and teachers are going over the work to fast and if some children dont understand they get lost in the shuffle and fail. The children aren't so nice either for it to be a christian school.
