Bad comments usually come from the parents who are not involved. You get out what you put in. Ive been a parent at All Souls for nine years now. I agree that there are some changes and change is sometimes scary. As for the comment before me, the principle is now a female which tells me that this came

My child has been on honor roll since kinder, has incredible test scores, and is proud to be student at All Souls. The school is small, and the kids feel like family. A great Read less

Horrible experience, even more horrible school!! Do not consider this place. The principal looks like he just graduated from high school and blends in a little too well with the 8th graders. The teachers have unrealistic expectations for their students and expect all children to fit into this specific
... Read more cookie cutter mold. They want, want, want (service hours, fundraisers, mass attendance, donations, etc.) but don't give, give, give. Their staff is skeletal (there isn't someone in the office at all times) and resources are poor. You're better off putting your child in public school. Sorry to disappoint if you're considering this school, but don't get duped like I did! (Because if you do, they'll keep your money, I guarantee you..) Read less

While I am a working parent with limited resources, I get involved as much a possible and know how important it is to support our school, teachers, and staff.

I was initially impressed with the intimate feeling of the small school; however, have realized that the school has many defects that will take years to improve. Although the Principal has good interpersonal skills, he has submitted his resignation after only 3 years and is leaving the school in an
... Read more uproar. The Kinder teacher who is taking her first administrative position will replace him. Additionally, over half the teachers have been laid off, and the school still does not have computers for the students, so the situation does not look positive for the next few years. Like most Catholic schools, parents are either very involved, or completely apathetic. It is frustrating for those of us who are professionals, as many parents are not capable of contributing talents or resources to the school. Read less
