My name is Mark Colasacco. I am the proud parent of an 16X honor student at St. Theresa School. Over the past few years, STS has had it's up's and downs. Without any substantial help from the NYC Bof E, or the State STS has sustained itself through a number of avenues such as parental participation,

I've been reading the reviews of the disgruntled ones who seem to think that a childs education comes solely from attending school for a few hours a day. There is nothing further from the truth. Saint Theresa School is fine institution of learning. I highly recommend STS to any parent or guardian who believes as I do and that is your childs education is a collaboration of home, school family values and participation in your childs education.

St. Theresa continues to decline not only in academics but in activities. The programs provided to the children are all politically controlled. It's about who you know and if you donate enough. Mainly, The Sports Program has become nothing more but another way to line the pockets of the parish.

Overall disappointed inthe school. There are a handful of good teachers (Sirabella, Marchetti and Barrone) amongst many poor teachers.
