Mentor Acres

while it may appear to be a great school.... it is not a happy place. Children go to school to learn, Teachers are to teach, not judge. The protocols are absurd, and are not a Christian standard. Our savior showed love and kindness, this should be shown to children as they are learning. The dress code, is fine. However, the staff will find a way to call the kids out on something absurd. There is clear favoritism if you are in certain families. No special education, or help for students who are differently abled. Communication with parents is awful. The children are forced into the cold, even if they are unwell during the winter. No talking at lunch time. The principles in the handbook and throughout the school are taken out of context, and are legalistic, Not biblical. The school is expanding after taking Ed Choice scholarships, and seemingly cannot handle the bigger elementary classroom sizes.

The academic curriculum and enrichment is far below that offered in the public school setting. The academic learning is for that of an average student. If your child either needs assistance or to be challenged, they will not benefit from St. Mary's.
