Acre

My son has attended the Murkland for three years, and he thrives in such a vibrant and supporting setting.

I have had 2 students at this school, one from pre-k to 8, the other k to 8. One on the autism spectrum. Both have done really well at this school. One is now in college, after graduating in the top ten in his high school class, which speaks well of how the Bartlett prepared him for high school. After an initial battle to get the one with autism special ed services, which was mostly an issue with the school department's central office, not the school staff, the school staff really stepped up with coming up with effective service plans. Good communication from the school to parents. I really have no complaints about the education my kids got here.

Best decision I ever made sending my kids here they have learned so much and enjoy all their activities not to mention all the extra family fun activities and school holiday pictures my children with disabilities never feel out of place and they accommodate their needs to make them the most comfortable it is like an extended family father than a regular school

There is so much to say about why I love this school! The teachers are fabulous. They challenge these kids but are also very caring. Students are very well prepared for high school and beyond. The curriculum is always being updated - We have a brand new reading program, new technology, a relatively new math program, etc. Former FAS students are on the honor roll and dean's list at all sorts of area high schools and colleges. The school is still run by the Sisters of Charity, so there also is a wonderful emphasis on faith. There are lots of extracurricular opportunities for these kids, too - soccer, cross country, basketball, cheerleading, and track. There's also intramural basketball, kickball, and bowling for younger kids. My kids also participate in choir, the engineering club after school, violin, and piano. Students who qualify academically also have the opportunity to be in a leadership and service group in middle school called Beta Club. This school offers wonderful opportunities for the students to grow academically, spiritually, emotionally, and socially. We love it here!

I love everything about St. Patrick. The teachers are wonderful and their academic expectation is high. My children love it there.
