Marvin Elementary School Reviews

It's a really nice school, with a good environment. The magnet program offers foreign language studies which I enrolled my child in. I am pretty satisfied with the amount of learning my child has graduated this school with.

I'm very happy with my child attending this school. The teachers and staff at Marvin are doing a great job at improving the students overall performance. My second grader is in the Language Magnet program and I'm impressed at how well their being thaught. Marvin might be located in a low income community but that sure doesn't mean that it's a low achievement school. Great job Marvin!

If you are a parents who had a few children attend Marvin over the years, than you will appreciate the huge change Marvin has gone through. It has become the best school in the neighborhood with very dedicated teachers and a new principal who truly wants only the best for ALL students. This all reflects on the many extracurricular programs Marvin offers on a daily basis, such as English classes for parents, afternoon tutoring for students, as well as gifted programs. Also the literacy, math, and science nights for the whole community. Marvin has something special for every child. Our children are learning and the test scores are going up. Thank you, Marvin

The school is good, but the biggest problems are the parking, and traffic that is made when droping or pickking up ur child. Other than that it's a great school.

I took my soon out of a private school and placed him at Marvin last year. It was good for him in the sense that he got a much more confidence and the teacher he got in 2nd grade was simply amazing,but the only thing that I was a little dissapointed in is that the parent involvement consists of a nucleus of the same parents over and over again. I think the Principal change is a ositive thing, but there needs to be more parent involvement in the school.

Marvin has grown academically over the years. There is a lot of potential at this school that has a handful of dedicated teachers who go far beyond expectations. There is a lack of discipline at the school and some teachers simply have very low expectations for the students. If there was more parent involvement and proactive staff the school would continue to grow. I am somewhat dissapointed at the certain staff that lacks motivation and inspiration towards the students.

This is a good public school.The some of the teachers are outstanding and they will go above and beyond for the students. If your child is above his/her grade level the teacher will let you know it and help you with any process to getting your child in the right school for him/her. I do'nt like schools that are on a track basis, but do to overcrowding this is what it is. They have after school programs for kids and the parents are involvement is good. Academics are what is is for this school.

While this school has improved over the years, the academic program is still lacking. They basically only have a language arts and math formal program. It is the motivated teachers that will pull in the other subject areas. The teachers seem to try, but the administrative leadership has very little to be desired. Probably could be a much better school with different leadership. Maybe then the parents too would become more involved.
