My son attended 1st grade and will be moving to 2nd grade in Sep 2014. This is a great school - his teacher in 1st grade was amazing- Mrs Ulrich-hats off to you- your dedication and sincerity towards kids is exemplary. Keep up the passion. I wish to experience the same from his 2nd grade teacher. On top of that I respect the enthusiasm from school principal - he is the force behind quality & passion. Will update this review once my son is midway to finish his 2nd grade.

I am a current student as you can see, but nevermind that. This school is horrible. The teachers here are some of the best I’ve ever had, but the administration does not care. They only care about how the school looks and how much they get paid. Also if I go to hug my friend, I an told not to. They say that touching another student is disrespectful to them. Overall, great teachers, but if you have a child and are considering moving here, please don’t. This place does not care about people’s mental health or happiness unless they are popular. I don’t want anyone else having to deal with the same things we do.

Our experience with Holy Spirit School has been extremely disappointing. Academically, students are not being properly prepared — the standards are far below average, and many kids seem to fall behind. Bullying is a serious problem, and despite repeated concerns, the administration (especially Sister Marie) has done little to address it. The focus seems more on money than on student wellbeing or education.Teachers who truly care about the kids don’t seem to stay long, which says a lot about the environment. I would strongly urge parents to look elsewhere if they want a safe, supportive, and academically strong school for their children.
