Meher Schools

I am sharing our recent experience to help other families who value clear communication, accurate enrollment information, and active safety protocols:First, student safety is completely minimized. My child is being repeatedly bullied by the same boy, pushed from behind and had tan bark thrown at them. When I brought this to the director, she completely dismissed it, claiming the boy just "doesn't know how to express himself," and offered absolutely no solution to keep my child safe.Second, the management is incredibly dishonest and unorganized. They cut the fall schedule from 5 classes to 4 because a teacher is pregnant. They knew this when we enrolled in February, yet the director hid it from us and just copy pasted her weekly emails without mentioning the cut. We only found out two months later because we asked. When we brought up our concerns, the director simply offered to refund our last couple of weeks and send us on our way, showing they do not care about a child's stability.Furthermore, they gave us contradictory stories about enrollment, telling me in person that we were first on the waitlist, but telling my husband we were fifth.Every family deserves to feel completely safe, informed, and supported in their preschool community. I hope sharing these facts helps you find the right, transparent fit for your little one.

St. Perpetua might be a good fit if what you’re looking for is a very traditional Catholic school experience. But if you’re looking for strong academics, I’d really think twice.In our experience, the school seemed a lot more focused on things like skirt length, uniforms, and Mass than on whether the kids were actually being challenged academically.There are definitely some good teachers there, and I don’t want to take away from that. But overall, the academics felt inconsistent. And honestly, it feels like the diocese doesn’t pay teachers well enough to attract and keep top talent across the board.For what families pay, I expected it to feel meaningfully better than the local public schools. It didn’t. In some ways, it felt like it couldn’t really compete.
