The school has progressively improved under Sr. Carena' administration. To me this is the one of the best black schools with New Jersey. With the Sr. Carena, St. Leo/Sacred Heart hasa very bright future because she understands what it means to educate a black child. Sr. Carena is God sent for black children

I find that this school is an excellent school. My child comes home with homework every day, he is learning so much from his age. At first I thaught that the level of work would be too much for him, but he is excelling at an amazing rate. His teacher goes out of her way to inform use what we need

To me that speaks volume about his character and how much he cares for his student. As for the Principal, she is also amazing, she humble, organized & down to earth and easy to talk to. Read less

Parent participation is negligible. Detention is served at the same time students should be getting afterschool help. Therefore, the student does not get help if she/he is on detention. Less punishing, more teaching! The 3 previous reviews submitted on the same day are suspicious! Read less
