I had 2 children attend this school, one of whom now attends a private high school. In no way do I think that St Mary/St Michael prepared him for the rigors of this school, or any other - private or public. Plus, all that is offered is basketball & cheerleading - no science fairs, no art fairs, no

My daughter entered kindergarten in September 2007. I'm registering my daughter again for the 2008.

I like that the school is close knit - my daughter has friends in all grades and it seems like family when I'm there to pick her up. Because of all the fundraisers & activities in general, the parents seem to be more involved which makes it an even better experience because you can see that these parents are taking the time out showing how much they value their child's education. The staff is wonderful! Read less
