My son came back from his first day of highschool and thanked me for sending him to St. Bruno. He said he felt like a genius in his classes. He even said to me tonight, 'Wow highschool is easy'. He told my wife and I to expect straight A's this year.

Extremely disappointed in this school. Member of office staff is extremely rude. Not impressed with the level of education. Good grades at St. Bruno does not seem difficult to achieve. Lots of homework does not equal challenging!! Seems like alot of people are drinking the kool-aid about this school!!

St. Bruno in my opinion is over-rated. I had my child at Murphy Ranch and then pulled him out to attend St. Bruno and was extremely disappointed when I realized the student-teacher ratio was so vast. Too many students in 1 classroom is not conducive to learning. At that point...back to MR we go! It

Overall satisifed- One member of office staff extremely rood and no social skills whatso ever- she has such a horrible reputaation- I do believe parents need to work hand in hand with the teachers- Communication is most important- Making sure students are responsible for themselves is something all parents

I have two kids at St. Bruno. I believe we are definitely getting our monies worth. My kids are grading much higher compared to their cousins who go to public schools. The disciple is there so our kids don't run wild. If our kids run wild at home or talk back at us, don't we discipline? That is

In the previous negative postings. Stop blaming the school and start working hand and in hand with the school. Gives the children a 'positive' attitude about private school education. These children do not realize how fortunate they are. And parents don't realize how fortunate they are to have their kids accepted at St. Bruno. They have a long waiting list for each grade.

As a teacher I feel that I need to speak up for myself, the other devoted teachers, and our deeply devoted principal. This is a great school. We have high standards and high, yet reasonable, expectations of our students. I'm sorry that the previous parent feels that we might be excessively strict,
... Read more but in classrooms with 36 students classroom management is of utmost importance. Demerits are not given out of 'convenience' believe me, the extra paperwork is not convenient for any teacher. Demerits are given for failure to complete an assignment or for behavior issues. It is our job as teachers/parents to teach our children to be responsible members of society. They are our future. We are instilling good work habits and ethics that they need in order to succeed in high school, college, the work place, and as adults who will have their own children. Read less

No system that allow parents to evaluate the teachers. Teachers are not really good. They are rude and think that they are always right. Dismisses class late, inconsiderate to parents who have limited time to pick their child.

Excellent school with high academic and behavioral standards, consistently high national test scores in all grades, 99% in 8th grade math!, involved parents, teachers vested in student's success. After school sports are important - but rightly so, not the same priority as academic success. I've had four
... Read more kids go through the school and on to elite Catholic high schools - all were extremely well prepared and ahead in many subjects. Homework load was never a problem if time management was maintained and extra curricular activities kept at a realisitc level. Great principal - friendly, approachable, available, yet adheres to the rules and punishment falls equally on all offenders. Parish and pastor are welcoming and has a great relationship/partnership with the school, nice clean secure campus in quiet residential area. You get out what you put in to it...unhappy parents are probably not involved parents! Hope the move goes well! Read less
