Students and School
Martin is the largest High School in the AISD with 3,557 students enrolled as of December 2005. However it is not the largest populated high school in Texas due to Allen High's 3800+ and Odessa High's 3900+ enrollment rate which still only consists of 10-12 graders whereas Martin consists of 9-12 graders. Students are on an A/B block and classes are 90 minutes long, with 4 classes per day. Classes meet on alternate days.
The library has twenty-eight computers for students use. These computers can access online library databases materials including Gale Resources, Facts-on-File, and Grolier Online Encyclopedia.

Famous quotes containing the words students and/or school:
“I know that I will always be expected to have extra insight into black texts—especially texts by black women. A working-class Jewish woman from Brooklyn could become an expert on Shakespeare or Baudelaire, my students seemed to believe, if she mastered the language, the texts, and the critical literature. But they would not grant that a middle-class white man could ever be a trusted authority on Toni Morrison.”
—Claire Oberon Garcia, African American scholar and educator. Chronicle of Higher Education, p. B2 (July 27, 1994)
“And Guidobaldo, when he made
That grammar school of courtesies
Where wit and beauty learned their trade
Upon Urbino’s windy hill,
Had sent no runners to and fro
That he might learn the shepherds’ will.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
