I can’t say enough about the wonderful experience we’ve had at Martinez Elementary. Our daughter has attended Martinez Elementary School for three years now, and she’s grown by leaps and bounds both socially and academically. Just a few of the things that we love about this school include its small class sizes, innovative learning and leadership programs, and its wonderful teachers and staff they are nurturing, dedicated and incredible educators. Our daughter loves going to school and we feel lucky to have found such a wonderful school right in our neighborhood. Close Quote

I LOVE this school. I was hesitant at first because my previous school was a highly rated school also in D11. I was actually planning on leaving my kids at that school. I am SO glad that I didn't. I am so pleased with Martinez and the feeling of community there. Most importantly, I have been greatly impressed with the academic growth my child has shown. Close Quote
