We have one child who attends TC Martin ES. She has two major health concerns: asthma and diabetes. Nurse Jameson, Principal Robinson-Taylor, Mrs. Childers, Mrs. Birchfield and all the teachers associated with our daughter have been absolutely wonderful in supporting her needs. They have all been open and responsive to all of our concerns, many times anticipating our needs. They have been available in person, over the phone and via e-mail. While Principal Robinson-Taylor provided required information to all of the teachers, Nurse Jameson (with our support and encouragement) prepared an age-appropriate presentation for the student body so they could be our eyes and ears in the classroom and on the playground. We are extrememly satisfied with the support we are getting at TC Martin ES. In our opinion, this is the best ES in the county!

I currently have one child who attends TC Martin and he loves his teachers and all the teachers and staff he has encountered. There have been several changes within the last few years that I don't know are in the best interest of the school. In the past, the former principal had a lot of interaction with the students, but this current principal seems to have others do that interaction for her. This administration has been disappointing since we were pleased when it was announced she was the new principal a few years ago. Teacher moral is down, but that could also be because testing is being stressed so much in addition to the administration. Overall, the teachers are what makes this school a great place to bring my child to school.

In the past I have been very happy with the school. There have been some changes over the last several years that seem to have brought moral down in the school. My 3 children like their teachers. Two of whom have needed additional help with their academics, but were not given the services. The school building itself is in need of being updated and it is very overcrowded. The PTO is great. The afterschool programs are teriffic.

My daughter has been in T.C. Martin for three years. She started with Mrs. Howie in Kindergarten and has loved school ever since. I am very impressed with the school and will continue to drive an hour to work so that she can attend T.C. martin.

I have two children enrolled in T.C. Martin. My son started in Pre K with Ms. Mollie and now he is the the fourth grade. His teachers have been wonderful and Mr. Morrow is the best. My daughter is in Mrs. Howie's kindergarten and she loves it. (Mrs. Howie was also my husbands kindergarten teacher at T.C. Martin 30 years ago)

I have a Pre-K child at T.C. Martin. She loves Ms. Mollie and Mrs. Fenwick. They are very involved with the students and have lots of 'special' activities for each individual child as well as group activities for the class. I highly recommend the Pre-K program at T.C. Martin.
