Whoever posted 'Good school. Good students...' must be at some other St. Ailbe. The school is an absolute joke. The principal is never present mentally or physically.

During the winter, please make sure your insurance is current because the grounds are not shoveled or salted. Discipline and safety concerns for the children are absent. Recently, I've been informed of illegal drugs being brought into the school. You would think parents would have been notified by the school, however, in my case, I was informed by my child. The only positive about the school is the teachers. For the most part, they are knowledgable about the content they teach and express a genuine concern for the children. Read less

This school has good teachers but unfortunately the adminstration is not up to par at all. Not all parents are the same but for some reason they treat parents with a lack of respect and disconcern for a child. This school thus far is the worst I have seen. I have a child who was attending this school

My son started at St. Ailbe last year and unfortunately it was not what I expected especially coming from a smaller school and less tuition. For the amount of money that you pay, you are not getting much. They emphasis their fine arts more than anything.
