Editorial review summary

Public parent reviews are limited, but community signals indicate that families appreciate the school's dedicated staff and the availability of the Early French Immersion program. The on-site before and after-school care is also highly valued by working parents. A major topic of discussion in the community is school overcrowding, which is a widespread issue in the rapidly growing Surrey school district. To address this, Martha Currie is currently undergoing construction for a 6-classroom prefabricated addition to accommodate 150 new student seats. Parents also note that the school handles safety well, effectively communicating precautionary measures during neighborhood incidents.

Common positives

  • Offers a highly sought-after Early French Immersion (K-7) program.
  • Strong literacy culture, frequently winning district-wide reading competitions.
  • On-site before and after-school childcare available.
  • Receiving a new 6-classroom addition to improve facilities and expand capacity.

Common concerns

  • Below-average Fraser Institute academic rating (5/10) and 5-year average (4.6/10).
  • Experiencing significant overcrowding, a common issue in the Surrey school district.
  • Ongoing construction on site for the new classroom additions may cause temporary disruptions.

Who this school may fit

Recommended for families seeking a French Immersion track and a school with a strong, celebrated reading culture. Parents who prioritize high standardized test scores or prefer smaller, quieter campuses might want to explore other options, as the school is currently managing significant enrollment growth and ongoing construction.
