Romulo D Martinez Elementary School

Warning to Future Parents of 6th grade children: I am sorry to say that this school is the worst school; my son s 6th grade experience at this school was a terrible experience for him. He is forever scarred with this traumatic experience, while he was at this school, these 2 horrible teachers (Mrs. Lucy Salinas & Mrs. Amy Gutierrez) they did a lot of damage to my son mentally and emotionally they broke him. I noticed changes in him he lost weight was not his normal self, started to get sick while in Mrs. Lucy Salinas math class. They would humiliate my son, single him out, discuss personal information among his peers and degrade him. Mrs. Gutierrez would let her class decide the punishment for my son, had to file formal complaint with Superintendent (Mr. Owings). I was advised that her personal folder was documented on for her actions toward my son.

Good teachers. Loving staff from office personnel to the 2 nurses on staff. PE 4 days a week with music on the 5th. Both my girls have blossomed here. Great UIL program that has wonderful administrative and teacher support. 6th grade band open to any student was great start-up.

The quality of education in the kinder program was good. My daughters teacher was very thorough. She challenged my daughter when she needed it as well as encouraged her when something became difficult. She communicated very well by sending home a newsletter every week explaining what the kids would be doing during the week or month. My child was not involved in extracurricular activites but there were many to participate in. The parental involvement was lower than I expected. I was happy to offer my time and attention to the classroom so the lack of involvement was fine with me.
