Some teachers are mid so are nice over all good school

As a Catholic school, we expected St. Mary’s School of Piscataway to model the values of compassion, honesty, respect, and integrity. Unfortunately, that was not our family’s experience.The teachers were one of the school’s greatest strengths. Many genuinely cared about the students and worked hard every day. Sadly, our interactions with the administration told a different story.Communication was inconsistent, concerns were not addressed in a transparent manner, and we often left conversations feeling unheard. During difficult situations, we expected openness and fairness but instead experienced frustration and disappointment.We chose this school because we wanted our child to learn in a faith-based environment where Christian values would be reflected not only in the classroom, but also in the way families and staff were treated. Unfortunately, we did not feel those values were consistently demonstrated by the school’s leadership.Our family has since moved on, and we are grateful to be in a healthier environment. I sincerely hope St. Mary’s takes the opportunity to reflect on how it communicates with and supports the families who place their trust in the school.The teachers deserve recognition for the work they do, but leadership sets the culture of a school. Based on our family’s experience, I cannot recommend St. Mary’s School of Piscataway.
