There are some good teachers who really try to connect with the students; however, some teachers seem to avoid teaching or bonding with the students. I originally entered Brother Martin as a shy child who never talked in class. Around sophomore year my teachers began to force me to be more open and active in class. I really appreciate how those teachers encouraged me to better myself and become more confident. Although there were good teachers like those previously mentioned, I still had some teachers who assigned videos instead of teaching the subject themselves. Furthermore, some of these teachers refused to answer questions if they already answered the question once. I believe that their duty should be to repeat themselves if there are questions. Aside from the teachers, Brother Martin definitely prepared me academically for college. Every week we have prep classes for standardized tests. Additionally, Brother Martin provides a strong overall education, especially writing skills.
If you wish to send your son to a strong academic school, these are the rankings: 1. Benjamin Franklin 2. Jesuit 3. Patrick F. Taylor 4. Haynes 5. Brother Martin. Now, given that three of the schools mentioned above are public, that says something about the Bro. Martin administration and where your money goes. Although their national merit numbers are rising, the school fails to provide even slightly as much as the other 4 schools mentioned above. Also, when looking at where students attend colleges, this school fails tremendously; as if it’s main goal was to only send students to LSU or any low-level academic institution. Even the valedictorians fail, on the most part, to go anywhere noteworthy. If your son has dreams to go to a better place, such as out of state, this is not the school for him. The reason I will give it 4 stars is because the teachers are willing to help the students, the sports are the best in New Orleans, and the community is excellent.
My older brothers went to Brother Martin. I find that Brother Martin has prepared me to academically achieve my college degree. They notice my hard work and dedication to my education. My instructors for the most part are approachable and lends advice if need be. This has been a tough year with COVID and Brother Martin has gone to the extreme to give us the opportunity to complete the school year in person. There are opportunities to do homework, seek tutoring and to help tutoring other students. I really like that we have the flexibility to stay on campus a few hours after school is dismiss too. There are some teachers who are not approachable and maybe teaching does not come across well or understandable at times; allowing the student to figure things out on their own. Overall, it is a good place to be.
