Mockingbird Hill

My granddaughter graduated in Spring 2025. Her experience was extremely positive. Teachers were all very involved and related well to the children. The students have a strong bond with each other that has loosely continued as many went on to various middle schools. The final school programs at year end every year were very inclusive and patriotic.

Look carefully at the turnover of the admin team. Then move your focus to the teaching staff. There is significant turnover because the working environment is atrocious. The pay for teachers is some of the worst in the area, and the support staff are salaried but their hourly wages are less than minimum wage when duties and after hour obligations are factored in. The priest who is in charge of the diocese is a controlling man who lacks moral character and was close personal friends with the previous bishop, who was asked to step down by the Pope and recently passed away. The most Catholic thing you can do when considering this school is to strengthen your faith life at home and send them to a public school. The rigor is missing here as the diocese has had teachers with no credentials or backgrounds in education teaching. A former admin had her unqualified husband teaching a class on the FBI. There are much better public schools in the area.
