Great things are happening at Immaculate Conception! This is our second year having our children attend IC. Admittedly, last year had some challenges; but then again, all schools do. Most of last year's challenges have been met head-on and I do see a change for the better! This year, there are two
... Read more new teachers in junior high school who have extensive high school experience; so they know what our children need to transition to high school. The principal has put together a Volunteer's Association of 25-30 professionals (retired teachers, business leaders, alumni, etc.) that will further enhance the learning of the students. I understand one goal of the administration is to have the Volunteer's Association enhance the extraciricular activities (academic and athletic) at IC. Some teachers are also taking professional enrichment courses, which again, enhances the teaching of the students. As the improvements continue, so will the the appreciation and success!! Read less

I have to say I have been VERY disappointed this year (2008/09) in our school.. There is NO organization, NO discipline, No structure.. Kids do whatever they want. It's messy, dirty and disorganized. Not enough parent participation. No extras like language, art, music, computer.. and if they do have

I will not be returning and am sad for those few good children who are being overlooked by so many undisciplined children and whose parents have no idea. '0' stars from me.. Sorry Read less

I have been a part of this school for many years now and I must say it has only improved over the last few years. No school is perfect, but I see much, much more positive than negative. I think as parents, we need to offer praise for the good things at our school and then spread this goodness to others
... Read more and tell them about our wonderful school. For the things that need improvement, we need to offer suggestions and help implement some of those suggestions instead of just talking about it. This is a community and the success of the school depends on that. We are very blessed to have a wonderful staff and may great families who really care and wish for only the best for our students and the school. Read less

It s a real shame to see negative comments here. We have had nothing but positive experiences at IC. Our son graduated from IC last year and is now attending an accelerated college-prep high school, with a 3.90GPA. Our daughter is currently at IC, and doing great (reading 3 grades above her grade).
... Read more The teachers have been unbelievable. It s obvious that they truly care about the education and wellbeing of our children. They do everything possible to ensure that our children are receiving the religious school experience that they deserve. We love the principal, she has been a saint. We absolutely love the family environment that the staff, PTO, and families have created. We had attended another private school, prior to IC, and we never felt the sense of community that we have experienced at IC. Visit Immaculate Conception and meet the staff. I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised. Read less

I have to say that this is an outstanding school. The principal and staff have gone above and beyond for our family. The curriculum is very strong & consistent in K-5 and 6-8. Every subject has a program with the individual kits and workbooks! My child also gets computer class, spanish class, art class,
