Not coming from a catholic background, I didn't know what to expect and an all girl school on top of that, we we're sure. My daughter is a freshman and I can't say enough about the school. The teachers are amazing. Caring and understanding. The academics are everything I was looking for and more.

Acting, dancing, singing, in addition to the clubs, newspaper, magazine, etc. etc. We didn't know anyone coming in and we both have been treated like old friends. We are looking forward to these next four years. Read less

Some teachers are good and others are down right unfair. Students are held responsible if they do not understand material ESPECIALLY in math courses. After school tutoring is treated as a burden for a teacher and it makes the student feel uncomfortable to ask for extra help. I would have to say the math
... Read more program, freshman year, was a joke. I graduated from the mount and i can recall finding myself CRYING over my math grade. My parents had to pays hundreds of dollars for a tutor just so i can get a C+ in math! I didn't like most of the faculty. Detention slips are handed out like there's no tomorrow. IT'S CRAZY. The only thing I liked about the Mount was Homeroom and the student body, we became really close, like a family. And there was no help from teachers or anything there. MSDA NEEDS BETTER FACULTY.

My daughter recently graduated as a Bloustein scholar after 3 great years at the Mount. Unfortuatnely the 4th and last year revealed an unprofessional side I had not expected. There is a great deal of tunnel vision and a vapid lack of responsibility. This is evidenced by lack of return phone calls and

Unfortuantley the last year left us so disheartened we tend to forget some of the truly great teachers. Academics are good, not great, but certainly worth considering if economics are a factor.

The higher administation runs the school like catholic schools were run in the 1950-1960 era. They are never wrong and never accept blame for errors, instead blaming students or parents. The attitude message is one that says that they are the only school in essex county that is both safe and educational.

As a graduate of the Mount, I could not have asked for a more incredible 4 years. In response to the whining of some parents - face it your daughters are in a competitive school. Sports - the best are needed to be at the top which is exactly where we are for the sports mentioned, basketball and softball.
... Read more Academically, our girls are incredibly prepared for college and grad schools and help is always there if you choose to accept it. And as far as college planning - no other school offers the quality and quantity of our programs - but you have to want to take advantage.
