This school does NOT deliver what it promises. The administration is lazy and uncaring. There is also obvious favoritism for those who donate to the school. Education is clearly not the primary objective of this 'school'. Your child will be better off in any other school; at least they will learn.

Very disappointed with this school. Limited curriculum and socialization. Found administration to be very rigid and unapproachable. Preference/Favoritism is given to those who also attend their parish and/or are large donors.

My daughter went to this school for 9yrs, (pre K- 8th gr) I must admit, I live with a lot of regret. I wish I had taken her out of that school. It was a complete waste of time and money.

I have three children in this school. My oldest child came here from another school when he was going into the 2nd grade, he is now in the 7th grade. My middle child started from kindergarten and my youngest in pre-school. They are now in 5th and 3rd grade. I cannot stress enough how wonderful this

The Principal and Administrator care about each and every student and are the most compassionate men I know -- Isn't that the point of a Christian education! As far as academics, my children are definately more advance than their friends who attend other schools. Unfortunately, you cannot please all of the people all of the time. I would definitely recommend this school. Read less
