As a graduate of STS, I would have to say that I am lucky to be able to get into a good high school that offered me the best of education there is. However, I am not here to praise this school for it's 'outstanding' curriculum. The academics at STS are very poor that the thought of sending your child
... Read more to public school is more appealing. In my personal experience, STS has not prepared me for high school, for, while I was a rather bright student in STS, I was the worst in the freshmen class due to the lack of physical activity, mathematical skills, scientific reasoning, and so on. If I, one of the bright students of the grade, had struggled in high school, what becomes of the ones that barely made it through STS? Spare your child the struggles in high school, send him/her somewhere else. Read less

Dissatisfied with the change of new administration. Saint Theresa once was a great school, but with all these changes, it is nothing like it was before. While at times change is for the better, I believe it is not in this case.

The principal's dedication to the academic standing of her pupils is only surpassed by her love for the children. She, as well as the other Sisters at St. Theresa, have devoted themselves to the well being of other people's children. They are something more than teachers and something shy of angels.

Many schools can equip you with the skills to succeed in academics. St. Theresa teaches the strategies and guidelines to do so in an ethical manner.

Saint Theresa School has helped me to be the person I am today by providing me with many hard core subjects to be graded on.

The grade levels that switch classes are 7th and 8th grade. We participate in assemblies and do many things as a school together.

I honestly think that St. Theresa School is a very good school. The teachers cooperate with the students, besides the times when the students annoy the teachers.
