My children have been students at St Mary School since 2003, and we have been pleased overall with the education they have received and the overall atmosphere of the school. There is a new principal as of 2008-2009 school year, and he has been a good addition. Standards of behavior and discipline are

The standards are not enforced by the administration here. In fact, the principal will even force teachers to provide accomodations to children who do not qualify for them. It is not how hard you work at this school or how smart a student is that dictates success here, it is their last name. Their

The few families that supported high academic standards have left, and [some] of the staff left this year as well because of the administration. Another poor point is that administration does not recognize students' acheivements, attend events, or support their teachers.
