All three of my children love their school and their teachers. It is a very happy and positive place where kids are greeted each morning with smiles and friendly faces. It is obvious when you visit the school that the teachers truly love the children. The students stay busy during the school day and

Communication is done through Edline.com and they use mylunchmoney.com for lunch payment so there is no scrambling for lunch tickets or money in the morning. Even tuition is paid online. Religion is taken very seriously at Assumption and the Sisters are a joyful influence on our children.

We recently transferred our child out of Assumption. We left for many reasons but lack of communication between administration and parents was a major concern. The new principal does not return phone calls, has little experience, and handles issues poorly. I also expect school staff/administrators to

I am an Assumption graduate and currently I have three children attending this wonderful school. I agree with a previous parents' review in which she stated that over the last couple of years that Assumption has flourished. What he/she failed to mention was that the current principal was the vice-principal

I have found her to be nothing short of professional and to have the schools best interest at heart. All of the teachers that my children have had thus far have kept me informed of my childrens progress and given me guidance when needed for my son who struggles with school. With the current state of the economy it is a struggle to continue to keep my children in private school, however, Assumption is worth it. Read less

Assumption was a wonderful school and church community. My children attended from preschool and it really hurt to withdraw them recently. The teachers are wonderful and really care. Unfortunately the Pastor is more concerned about profit margins(not supplementing the school budget) and material needs

Our daughter has attended ACS since pre-school. ACS had issues in the past caused by ineffective educators, administrators unaware of proper education materials and a lack of discipline. In 2004, a new principal was hired who implemented policy to turn ACS around. Since that time, ACS students' have

ACS improved its standardized testing scores and is now one of the highest rated schools in the diocese. However, without notice or cause the Pastor terminated the principal in January 2008 jeopardizing these advances. If I were coming to this school, fresh, I would inquire as to the leadership experience of the new adminstration and potential conflicts of interest since the principal now supervises her teacher husband. I would look to San Jose Catholic and St. Pauls instead! Read less

This school has a lot to offer. They will have a brand new gym/family center open this summer.

Assumption Catholic School is a wonderful school for my children. We moved from another state (and another Catholic school) and I would have to say that ACS has a leg up (if not 2). The academics are challenging and the staff works as if they have a personal investment in each child - which makes a
