The middle school teachers and principle at this school do not care about the students who are struggling. I would not recommend this school to anyone and I regret the day I enrolled my child there. I wish someone would have told me these things before I subjected my child to this uncaring, unloving

This school has a great religious atmosphere. PK-5 grade is great!The middle school, on the other hand, is in need of a lot of help. There is no good relationship between the parents and teachers. The middle schoolers are overwhelmed with tons of homework that they are not prepared for. The teachers

If your child falls behind, your child will fail! I would reccomend this school for your child from pre-kinder to 5th grade. Good luck! Read less

I agree with the last posting. I had to pull all my children out of this school after my oldest started the 'middle school program'. The students are given an enormous amount of homework and are not given enough instruction during class to complete the work. They can either keep up or they will fail.
... Read more It appears that the teachers do not want to teach, they just hand out assignments for the kids to do at home. My child would spend up to 5 hours a night trying to finish all the homework. Forget about any after school programs, NO WAY, there isn't time for anything but homework. It didn't matter how many parents complained to the teachers and the principle, nothing ever changed. The staff needs to re-evaluate the 'middle school program' or they will lose a lot more families.

This school is great has a wonderful family atmosphere and the students and parents are terrific. K-5 grade are wonderful, the seem to care about the students and welcome parent involvement. However, once the children hit middle school, they are bombarded with work that they are not prepared to handle.
... Read more The teachers in the middle school program seem unwilling to help a child who is struggling, they just want every child to conform. If your child is unable to conform, they don't want to deal with that child. It is frustrating that a child that needs a little special attention cannot get a Catholic Education. Read less

My kindergartener is just finishing his first year and has LOVED it. Initially he we hesitant and wasn't thrilled about going to church, as he put it, 'all the time'. But after a few days, yes days not weeks, he was a happy, productive student whom was ready for the next assignment and mass with joy.
... Read more I have found the staff to be very supportive, willing to listen to my concerns, questions and comments. The staff knows my son and that makes me feel safe and makes him feel welcome. This school has a wonderful learning atmosphere with a strong academic curriculum which is in stark contrast with the public schools my old son has attended. I would highly recommend this school.

The first and most important thing is 'My Child' loves this school. She feels safe and comfortable with her teachers and with the other students. At first I was not to sure of the school, but know we are going on our third year being here, and as long as I can afford it, I will keep my daughter enrolled.
... Read more my daughter has learned a lot in the two years. with the small class size I can rest assure that she will not be over looked when it comes to class work. We love the family environment, the kindness of the teachers, and other staff members. we would love to see more choir time for the primary grades. overall we are very happy at this school. Thank you. Read less

The aceademics are strong overall. Discipline is great--not excessive but firm on everything important. Best parent involvement I've ever seen in an elementary school. The music program need some work and some art training for the teachers would be nice. I feel my input is not only welcomed but encouraged
