I am an 8th grader at St. Mary School. I am really glad I go here. I have been there for nine years, and I think I am prepared for highschool. The teachers teach exceptionably well, and it is a very good environment. If you feel queasy because it is located near a bad neighborhood, you have nothing

Saint Mary's is a wonderful small school with talented teachers and principal. As a parent, I'm always impressed with how kind and courteous the students are.
