Orchard Estates

My review rating is based on 2021-2022, 2022-2023 school years.My older son graduated this school in 2020 and the teachers were ok, kind of worn out and tired, grumpy and set in their ways. He loves school but started to not enjoy going because of this.My younger son is now in kindergarten here and this is his second year. Things have changed! The teachers are younger, more upbeat and happier. They possess the skill of passing on that happiness and incorporating it within their teaching. My younger son has had such a better experience here so far. Hopefully they continue to keep this change.

Love this school! Teachers and admin take parents needs into account. I am a working mom who is not able to be at every parent meeting or attend every event. Even with this in mind, they keep me informed and help me to feel like I am always there. Weekly what we are learning recaps help me to engage my daughter after school when I get home. Wonderful school!

St. Rose is a wonderful place to send your children. The faculty and staff truly care about their students and want them to succeed!

To stay constructive, I'll say the safety officer in the school is extremely warm and respectful and loved by everyone. There is a lot of homework which is useless and doesn't really reinforce what is learned in class. There is no real social studies or science, public schools teach the student a lot more. The expository writing class is a joke, the teacher should have retired ages ago. The kids literally spend an hour a day learning absolutely NOTHING. Their guidance counselor is fairly new and doesn't really have time to guide anyone since the school thinks employees should do everything else the school requires, like answer phones, deliver lunches, etc. They have a math teacher that shouldn't be allowed anywhere near young children as he only degrades and yells at students, so make sure you don't ask him to explain something. And if you think there is no political indoctrination in private school, think again!
