We loved this school. The teachers and staff were all professional and caring. They did a great job with balancing fun and learning! My kids were excited to go to school everyday and to me that's what makes a great school. The PTA is incredible and very involved. Any problems we did have they were always handled quickly and efficiently and they were great with communicating. This has been one of our favorite schools that my children have attended.

Great school they helped my daughters excel. We moved here from Morton Grove. They were ignoring mu daughters needs and did nothing about providing her extra help with math. We have lived in Morton Grove, Kenilworth, Glencoe, North barrington heights, Lake Forrest and in Golf. Fox lake has been the most peaceful, cooperative, understanding, careing, honest of all the school districts. The other districts keep their ratings high by quickly labeling children as ESL, Disabled, Learning impaired and extra. Their wealthy and are afraid of lower property tax revenues from lower exam scores. By having almost 77% of childrens exams exmpted from impacting their schools ratings by placing a lifetime label on a child is determental. Chicago public schools only have 3% of children labeled yet have 35% of all students are immigrants. Go wonder, Learn not to trust all ratings. Fox lake has only 1% of all children exempt from testing whereas some wealthier areas have almost 80%. Based on those results Fox Lake is hands down way better vand accurate.

This school dictrict has failed the no child left behind act for 3 years in a row. Plus my child is now in 5th grade and has been bullied second with very little happening since no hears what the bully is saying. I have asked to have my child switch school with a refusal as of yet, still trying though. Due to the verbal abuse my child was very unresponsive in the afternoons and I could not get the teacher to understand why. We are VERY unhappy with this school.

I have two children who recently came to Martin as new students. I am more than satisfied with the teachers and staff at Martin. Both of my boys were struggling at first, but with the support of their teachers, are now doing much better. I get frequent e-mails, keeping me updated on their behavior and progress academically. If i ever have a concern, which requires more than a simple email, I know I can set up a face to face meeting with the teachers. I am very excited that my kids are attending Martin!
