My child has already begun reading in the first half of TK! The office staff and cafeteria staff are very friendly and observant.

I really appreciate the attentive and caring staff at this school. My child loves going to school at Brown.

Kanaly loves to harass some students to, the entire year someone i knew was being harassed and when they defended themselves she gave them detention. The schools automated messages are annoying to, pretty much getting calls every week. A student has also broken something of mine and when i reported it to the staff they did absolutely nothing. Some of the school security is pretty nice, Alexis and Angie are the sweetest and most helpful, The (majority) of the staff are helpful and have a lot of patience, 12-14 year olds are not easy to deal with and they (usually) handle situations well. Crazy to know a teacher was smokin weed in the middle of a class and a teacher kissing a student. The camp security john is a bit rude but can be nice sometimes, I have heard him saying several times that he cant wait for someone to act up so he can get them in trouble. Overall, not a bad school

Okay first of all, this school calls home for the dumbest things. I am sick and tired of my child…read moregetting in trouble for the most STUPIDEST things ever. Second of all, the PE teacher, Ms. Kanaly or whatever her name is I do not care at all. Do I have a fat bone to pick with her. She recently called home to get my child in trouble saying that he was not dressed out for PE. When in reality, his butt crack was just showing slightly. And he is pretty chunky but that shouldn't be a reason to call home. Yesterday, they called AGAIN. This reason was because my child finished state testing early. Can you believe they got him in trouble because he finished early. My daughter works as a substitute paraprofessional, she came home to me after working at the school for the first time telling me how the school gets kids in trouble for silly reasons. If they keep calling home, I will call MCS and put a huge complaint. I am sick and tired of my kid getting in trouble there. Also, the so called PE teacher has parents phone numbers on hand to call whenever she wants because she thinks she has the upper hand. DO NOT and I can not stress this enough DO NOT tell me to deal with my child with his behind. If I hear that again, coming from a school staff employee I will not hesitate to call the superintendent.

Office staff not helpful. Joanne Valencia - is the first contact in the office. My son forgot his…read morejacket, first rainy day. He asked me to bring it to the office, but he doesn't have his phone so no way I could get ahold of him. I come in and she tells me to just put it on the table with his name. The sign above the table says 'staff is not responsible for the items- and they will not call the student to let them know it's there.' I ask her to call for him because he doesn't know I brought it- she tells me he won't hear it because he's in the cafeteria, but calls anyways. Another mom comes in with a laptop- she just tells her a name and asks to make sure she gets it. Joanne calls out for this student and immediately the student comes for the laptop. (Didn't tell the mom to place it on the table with a sticky note like she told me). I didn't leave because I wanted to make sure my son got his jacket. I waited 30 minutes. Finally she called a second time and he came up immediately to get it. Had I not sat and waited I don't believe she would have helped at all. He had to be at recess for a full 30 minutes without a jacket. - and as a mom I could never do that to another kid. I find her extremely rude and unhelpful and not a good fit for the very first person point of contact in the office at the school. Had I come in for a doc appt or something they would have had him come to the office immediately. I know there are systems in place to get ahold of the kids and she just chose not to help and wasted 30+ minutes of my day.

Ah, the old stomping grounds. Martone Elementary is nestled deep within suburbia on the outskirts…read moreof western Modesto, but with that comes a quiet, peaceful environment away from the city. The classrooms comfortably seat around 30 students and the school itself uses a year-round track based system (Red, Blue, Yellow, and Green Tracks) that gives children a small vacation after a month of schooling rather than three months of summer vacation after so many months of being cramped in class. For a working family, this sort of schedule is ideal, but it definitely is a change of pace from other schools that offer only the traditional schedule. Some years ago the school attempted to switch to uniforms, but complaints from both the parents and students seem to have forced Martone to return to casual dress. A fence around the perimeter of the school was installed roughly 10 years ago and a few years after that a small public playground was installed outside of the fence for neighborhood children to play in. The school has large fields of grass for playing in, a baseball diamond that is often used for little-league practice, a playground with jungle gym, monkey bars, and parallel bars (though they've removed the sand and replaced it with wood chips for some ungodly reason), and a large blacktop surface for basketball, dodgeball, tether ball, and that one game where you bounce a ball off of a wall whose name escapes me. The cafeteria manages to seat half of the school comfortably (there are two lunch periods) and there is also plenty of tables and areas inside the open-air school for students to picnic off of. The offices are well run and, as a klutzy kid, I can tell you that the nurse's office comes well-equipped to handle any scrapes that your child might get into on any average day of fun during recess. The staff and faculty keep a close eye on the students at all times, and the library is large enough to even keep a little geek like I was entertained all the way from five years old to twelve. I may be biased, but in my opinion I feel that Alberta Martone Elementary School is one of if not the best elementary school in Modesto.
