The Development Center, however, has a very good reputation and it is hard to understand the extremely negative review. Regarding the school, it is a loving, caring,

Very Happy with Blessed Sacrament! I have one child there that attended another private school for 2 years prior and I couldn't be happier with the change.

We are in our second year at Blessed Sacrament and could not be more pleased with the community environment, the exceptional faith-based education, and the well-respected principal who is very hands-on and always willing to listen to parent feedback. As for being underfunded, it is worth noting that
... Read more the average Catholic school receives about one half of the funding per student than the average public school. The parent councils at Blessed Sacrament are working diligently to make a Catholic education both available and affordable for as many students as possible. The student-teacher ratio (about 16 here) enhances the cooperative learning atmosphere. We are glad to have discovered this little gem of a school and highly recommend it to any parent desiring a Catholic education. Read less

Very unsatisfactory ! the school also has a child care center and i would advise anyone who may think of having their child cared for there to go elsewhere. They do not care for feed back, the director and assistant are forgetful, they act as if you can drop by at anytime and check on your child or call,

The center is not expensive, so you are paying too much for want you get. They do not teach your child any type of catholic stucture. You may as well take them to a non catholic center, you may have better treatment. Our family expected too much from this so called development center. It is what is it ... A day care. Read less
