Not worth the $, am catholic, wanted my child to have a catholic education. After 3 years at St. Gregs' I struggled with the possibility of leaving, but after so much stolen property and no action from Administration I made the decision to leave. Can't believe what a great decision it was, my child

My girls have been attending St. Gregory's 5 years and love it, as do I. Their dedication to the students and parents is incredible. If I have a concern, they address it sincerely. I am quite pleased with St. Gregory's overall. The only thing that bugs me is there is no school nurse, which I feel

This is my daughter's second year at St Gregs. I do not see the problems that some people are alledging. Our experience has been positive. We love the fact that faith is an important part of the curriculum. In regards to academics, she is barely starting so I am giving the school the benefit of the

My children have been attending St. Greg's for 3 years now. We started in the pre-school and what a wonderful experience it has been. Mrs. Mosher and the teaching staff are the best! All the children are treated with lots of love and respect. When looking into the pre-school, I was looking for a

We love St. Gregory's Catholic School. Academically, our children are recieving a great education. Teachers challenge the students and demand that they perform at their best.

We do not always agree with the admininistration's decisions, but we appreciate the efforts made by the administration to listen to all parties involved before it makes a final decision. We feel that most parents in the community are looking out for the best interest of the school, not just what is in the best interest of their children. This parent attitude makes all the fundraisers, school activities, and church functions a lot of fun to attend. Read less

Wow!! I have to say that I agree with the review about the 'substandard education', and there is definitely a lack of a 'good catholic' community. We just pulled our two sons out of St. Gregory's after 5 years of attendance, and have to say that it was the best decision we have ever made. At St Gregs,

So we were quite surprised to find out how behind the curriculum at St Gregs is compared to other schools. I believe that people have the misconception that if you are paying for something, then it must be better. Definitely not the case there. Your kids are better off elsewhere! As for the teachers, only a small handful are truly qualified. Read less

You have to take each review and read between the lines. The teachers are great. The children can talk in the luchroom not yell and bully others. If children are behind that is not the schools fault.

St Gregory provides a very substandard education and your kids will definitely be one grade level behind their peers when they leave. The staff and aids are underqualified and harrass the children, and what's worse, they aren't aloud to talk in the lunchroom!
