Runyon

My daughter completed her first year at this school and she loves the school and so do we. The staff and teachers are kind and caring about the students. Due to the pandemic my daughter was behind on her reading due to virtual learning, my daughters teacher noticed and got her extra help for the school year. By the end of the school year her reading improved tremendously. I highly recommend this school to those who are looking for a caring school with staff that cares about your children, with a Christian education.

When originally looking at the local Catholic schools, this school was ranked third on our list of 3. After attending the schools ranked 1 and 2 on our list (both closed by the Diocese), we were forced to come here. This school should’ve been ranked 8th on our list of 3. It’s been miserable. The students, the parents, the teachers, everything. A miserable experience. The cliques control the school and they DO NOT accept transfers well. If you are planning on attending this school, may I suggest you do it with your oldest child and start from kindergarten. This way you have nothing to compare it to. Attending in any other way will bring you nothing but disappointment… Oh, and make sure your checking account is full. You’ll be writing check after check all year for things not included in the tuition.

The curriculum itself is strong and academically enriching, but there appears to be little consideration or respect shown toward parents. Unfortunately, the school often seems reactive rather than solution-based, and at times, communication lacks professionalism. Parents who raise questions or offer constructive feedback are too often met with silence or avoidance rather than open dialogue. I am also aware of at least one other parent who experienced a similar situation, where a meeting intended to “talk things out” became a one-sided exchange that left her feeling dismissed and blamed rather than heard. These patterns are concerning and do not reflect the values of collaboration, respect, and partnership that a school community should uphold.
