I was under the impression that a school a Roman Catholic School was supposed to be handled by staff with morals and self respect. Very disappointing. Teachers lack morals, staff lacks self respect.

This is an excellent school! Academics are great. It is a family oriented atmosphere. I attended this school along with my four other siblings and we have all been successful.

In addition, Mr. Loya and Mr. Lozano have been outstanding mentors and leaders and are constantly making improvements to both the physical school grounds as well as enhancing academic lessons.

The vice principal is a personal friend of the principal so if you are not satisfied with an outcome of a situation forget chain of command. The tuition has gone up every year with out fail. This year is the first year this school has gone to 6 periods, grades 6th-8th (the children no longer stay in home room, they rotate classes/6 periods) and I cant pin point whether the children are struggling the most with the change or the teachers. The teachers are never consistent with the online work schedule Read less

Where's the discipline in this school? Junir high students have no respect for themselves or even staff at this school. I mean, yes, this is a good school with a lot of parent involvement, but they have to crack down on discipline, and that falls on administration.
