It was a total waste if money sending my child to this school. I pulled him out in 3rd grade and sent him to public school and he was so behind there. Apparently this Catholic school that I was paying so much in tuition for was not even able to prepare my child for public school and that's very sad

The fourth grade is the only grade with two strong teachers. I wonder why that is? The upper grades are no prize except for the 7th grade ELA/Social

Choosing this school was the worst acedemic decision I ever made for my child. Year after year with 1 or 2 exceptions, the teaching is below par. If you want your child to enjoy school and be excited to learn this is not the place to do it.
