I’m very grateful for the wonderful experience my daughter had during her two years at this school. I want to give a special thanks to the principal, Ms. Baker, and the entire staff, especially the front office team. The two teachers my daughter had—Miss Fraunhoffer in Kindergarten and Ms. Bennett in First Grade—were amazing with her. Not only did they provide a great education, but the communication between parents and teachers was excellent. My daughter loves them very much!A big thank-you to the R’Club staff as well—Ms. Lisa and all the teachers were always so kind and attentive. In the cafeteria, Ms. Barbara was incredibly special to my daughter. Shannon says she will always carry her in her little heart.She also enjoyed the many fun activities and field trips the school offered—those were some of her favorite parts. And to her art teacher, Ms. Aziz, thank you for encouraging her creativity and making her feel proud of her work.To any teacher or staff member whose name I may not have mentioned, please know that my daughter truly loved and appreciated every one of you. Thank you all for creating such a positive and loving environment.I highly recommend this school to any parent, especially those who are nervous about starting this new chapter. As a mother who was once afraid to leave her little one in such a big school, I can say from the heart—they take excellent care of the children here.

Denise Baker should be looked into. Hateful, lying, and lacks compassion. Should not be teaching the youth based on her lack of basic human decency. Huge red flag

Excelente escuela para nuestros hijos, el personal es muy agradable y respetuoso el principal es como un padre con nuestros hijos El único punto débil de la escuela es la teacher Mrs Barber en verdad es una pena que existan personas como esa señora enseñando a niños vivimos una experiencia muy desagradable con dicha señora gracias a dios pudimos cambiar a mi niña de clase y todo fluyó de maravilla. Mrs Barber recuerde siempre que usted trabaja con niños no todos son iguales los hay más tranquilos que otros, mi niña es de un gran corazón pero yo sé qué es un poco intranquila pero usted como profesional debe saber lidiar con distintos comportamientos de los estudiantes y no hacer de ellos niños inseguros que pierdan el deseo de ir a la escuela por su culpa recuerde son niños y merecen el mejor de nuestro trato .

The staff really cares about my child.

Our time at this school has been filled with challenges that any potential families should know about. Despite numerous formal complaints against the administration the Diocese has remained silent. This lack of action raises troubling questions about transparency and accountability. Important issues are being swept under the rug, leaving us to wonder what is truly happening behind the scenes. We’ve witnessed a heartbreaking exodus of families, not due to graduation, but from deep dissatisfaction with the school environment. Prior to enrolling please ask how many families do not re enroll as it speaks volumes about the current state of the school. The teacher turnover is equally alarming; many dedicated teachers have departed, leaving behind a mix of those who feel stuck and others who seem to compromise on the values we hold dear. While some teachers genuinely care to support their students, others seem to bring the entire program down. Do you really want your child to re-learn basics of matter in 8th grade? The minimal extracurricular offerings, given the significant cost of attending this school, are simply outrageous. If you’re considering enrolling your child, please be wary of the misleading false advertisements. One of the most troubling aspects is how bullying and favoritism are handled. It appears that if you’re a wealthy donor, your child can escape the consequences of their actions, while others face harsh treatment. Speaking up about administrative decisions or questioning disciplinary actions will lead to your child being targeted and humiliated in ways that no child should experience. The punitive measures in place are excessive, with consequences ranging from suspensions to month long isolation during lunch, and even the decision not to publish student awards. This creates a culture steeped in negativity and fear, rather than one that fosters growth and support.Please consider other Catholic or private school options before putting yourselves and your children through this distressing experience.

This school honestly sucks. I have dealt with bullying and harassment for my three years at ESCS, and no one should ever have to feel this way especially at a Catholic school. It’s unbelievable. Many teachers are nasty and rude, which is completely unfair and unacceptable. Everyone I know who has attended this school warns others to stay away because of how poorly everything is handled. They say to “follow the gifts of the Holy Spirit,” but in reality, they don’t practice what they preach. Another major issue is that the school focuses on small, silly problems instead of addressing the serious ones that actually matter.
