The structure and discipline at this school is very good. The kids are definitely not in charge, which was our experience with the local public schools. That was chaotic! This is a catholic school, and sometimes I feel that the school part is forgotten too much and the catholic part is way too much.
... Read more Being a catholic isn't going to get these kids into high school, great colleges, and great careers. As with all schools some teachers are more remarkable than others, but overall I think they are very good. Oh, if you are new to the school then look out for the moms clique at the school gate. That will definitely have some bearing on how you are treated in the school. As somebody else wrote in their review, you are judged by your car, and who you know at the gates. It's pretty pathetic.

The school is beautifully kept on the outside and inside. My daughter had a very positive experience in her first year at the school. This past year has been a nightmare. The teacher is miserable! It's sad to say that the teacher has her 'favorites' and it's very unprofessional of her to only encourage
... Read more her favorites. I am not please with the after-school program as a teacher doesn't like to wait around until 6:00 pm eventhough I pay the school to watch my child until 6:00. If you're not in a certain finacial class, good luck. It's all about how much money you make, what kind of car you drive, and if you own a home in order for you to be liked up at that school. Otherwise, parents teach their kids not to play with your child if you're not up to par. The principal is great though. Read less

This school was the worst experience ever! My son used to love school and after two years he hated waking up in the morning. His teachers weren't kind and the principal did nothing on his behalf. It needs a total overhaul.
