Everything I want in a Catholic School for my children. Lots of emphasis on Catholic values, religious education. Very good curriculum. Teachers that care about their students, minimal adminstrative tinkering. If you want Catholic education - it can't be better than this.

I am an alumni of this school. Overall it is a great school. There is a high amount of religious affiliation. As far as Principal leadership goes favoritism is a issue...principal doesn't focus on building relationships with students in the lower grades. However, he does spend tremendous amounts of time
... Read more and shows great effort to build a relationship with students in the higher grades. School has an very outstanding teacher in 7th grade/math. A new gym would be nice along with a better approach to p.e. and the arts(no drama, music, art) Some fresh leadership would give the school what it needs to thrive. Academics are chalenging and grammar is focused upon perhaps to much. In my opinon school needs improvement before you send your kid here. Read less
