St. Matthew Catholic School

My child was initially excited about attending St Matthews …. The facilities look nice … but first impressions usually don’t tell you the whole story … overall the teachers are very average …. I think the school is more concerned about athletics rather than developing its students academically… I still don’t understand why they have portable buildings to teach students and yet they spent a fortune on an oversized gym which looks so out of place there… as for the rampant bullying… not enough space here to air out my grievances ….. they’ve had good administrators in the past …. But the last school principle was a joke.. absolutely clueless … thank God she’s leaving the school…. But she should look for another type of work…. Maybe working at a. All selling shoes…. She needs to stay out of education… completely. Overall, save your money .. go elsewhere …. Your child deserves better.

My child attended this school. It was horrible. The bullying and lack of support from admin, teachers and counselors was shocking. The level of rigor of education was lacking, as well. I would not recommend this school to anyone.

Excellent! You can see how successful the school is by how successful and happy the children are. My children can't wait to go to school each day. They are very bright, bilingual students on the honor roll.

Great school, lot of learning opportunities. The sports are still being considered first than academics in recognition wise. That needs more improvment.

Horrible communication from staff to parents, highly concerned about safety precautions/practices, they encourage poor eating habits. They require each family buy a large bag of candy for the Fall Festival and then hand out all the excess to the children regularly throughout the rest of the school year - weekly and sometimes even daily (even after I asked them not to - which puts my child in a position of feeling left out). On a positive note, the facilities are nice and for the most part, the staff is courteous. My child doesn’t hate it there but he doesn’t love it there either. The only reason he likes it is because of the friends he’s made there, other than that, he says that he doesn’t want to go there. Unfortunately this school does a very poor job of educating the whole child and falls extremely short of the standards that I have found in other schools in the city we came from. My child is not excited to be there. I’m very disappointed and will be removing my child as soon as possible.
