If you are considering this school for your child, I would really look at the one star ratings and pay attention to the comments. I agree with all of the comments: uncaring, elitist, overcrowded, etc. The school might look good when visiting but beware.

Both of our children graduated from St. Brigid of Kildare. Both were above average students and have excelled in high school and beyond (both scored a 30 on the ACT). We found the school to be warm and inviting, but we also were involved in the school community. With any community, you will get more

If i could give less then a one I would. The school is cold and impersonal, and the administrators don't really seem to care. The class sizes are huge (up to 36!), and only caters to the middle child. No programs for above average student, and no support for the below. The only

A cold, cliqueish, unfriendly school with huge classes, and at least in the upper grades there aren't full time assistants. There is one for all 4 7th and 8th grade classes. The grading system is a joke and I would attend at your own risk. If I could rate lower I would.

My Children attended St. Brigid and we were very unhappy with this school. Class sizes are large and distracting and teachers do not focus on individual children. My children (both in the gifted range) were not challenged in any way and no grades are given through grade 8. These assessments were very

Image seems to be everything at every level. Transfering my children was the best thing I ever did. They are now challenged, and most importantly happy in a friendly,nurturing school. Read less

This school does have its very good points. However, there are some problems with an elitist atmosphere and materialism. Some parents have found problem books in the library, and there are issues with a dependence on the AR program and its controversial list. They also need to better understand the
... Read more competitive and energetic nature of boys. (No grading!! Subjective assessments only.) The large number of students in small classrooms can be a distraction for some children (though the kids are pretty well-behaved). Some parents can be very clique-ish, so search out the friendlier types who are there. The school also needs to tone down the marketing language - doesn't fit a parish school. Parent opinions may not always be valued on certain issues. Not the old-fashioned Catholic school, but has potential for those with the spirit to keep the focus on faith. Read less

I am currently a student at St. Brigid and could not wish for a better school! The teachers are supportive and help you learn from your mistakes and I have made so many great friends! The grading system is more discriptive than any other one so you can really improve your mistakes!!!!!!
