3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHess is an amazing school! They are a great TEAM of educators, working together to teach, and enrich each students life. I know our test scores don't show it, but you can blame that on lack of parent involvement. I have 2 children enrolled, and have been apart of the school for 4 years now. No complaints about the Teachers, principal, or staff!!!!Parent Review12y ago5 Reviews - St. Catherine of Siena
