i like the school and my son loves his surroundings , do not like the parking tickets in the quickest minute ever, for dropping off or picking up my child, But i do not have the answer for that ? yet? my BIGGEST CONCERN IS THIS YEAR , my son is now in the 3rd grade and yesterday he mentioned
... Read more to me that he has approximately 34 --36 children in one class room and with one teacher miss Wilson. i love miss Wilson , BUT 34 children is WAY TO MUCH for any size class room and for any (1 teacher ) ? don't you agree ! i pay my sons school in full every year before he starts in Sept. AND I REALLY FEEL THAT 34 children in one classroom needs to change ASAP for the sake of the children, just like SISTER LOURDES ALWAYS say's,, FOR THE KIDS.. Read less

I am an alumni & my son is now in kindergarden in SAM. I have to say they have far exceeded my expectations.

I am an alumni & I must say, now that my child attends the school I am a bit disappointed, but not by what you may think - The Arts & Crafts and lack of class trips really bothers me. I hate the fact that my child comes home with art work made out of paper plates(more than one occasion)and the fact
... Read more that in her years there - they have not gone on one trip! Children need these outlets to help them grow - they should go to museums, they should interact with clay and paint! Not a big deal to some but it should be because u'r paying for this and the education should not lack content. The school has really changed under the direction of the new principal who is still riding on the coattails of principals b4 her. The school needs improvement form all ends. Read less

My son graduated from Saint Angela in 2005 and my daughter is now going to the fifth grade. So far my experience with the school has been good. I have found that at times it is very hard to communicate with the principal and when she first came on board she made many changes that parents were uncomfortable

The principal seems to have a good communication with the students and seems to be really concern about them. The teachers are good and easy to communicate with. I wish they would have more extra curriculum activities such as dancing, so far I only know of music and you need to pay extra for that. Read less

My son has been in the school for 6 yrs. and he has done exceptional, however the principal is very anti-social and always hard to get in contact with. She does not know how to communicate with parents and is very rude at times. My son has been very fortunate to have decent teachers who communicate with

I feel that they should give them physical ed more often, but then again this is a catholic school so they work differently. Well overall my son is a good, smart kid and I can probably put him in any school and he will do well, if you do not really care about communication from the school about your child then this is the school for you. However if you care about open communication keep on looking. Read less
