This school has made a change for the best in recent years! Kids are achieving high scores, teachers are great, and admin are supportive.

The principal is very kind and highly involved with the families, maintaining excellent communication. The school ensures a safe environment, as entry to the campus is strictly through the front office. The special education teachers are phenomenal, especially Ms. Stephanie Lee. They truly care abou

This school is truly an educational nightmare. The newer principal (2022ish) has no idea how to run a school. The various curriculums used are either outdated or limited in rigor. The middle school teachers, if they can keep any, seem to be decent in knowledge. The math teacher is excellent. However, the 4th and 5th grade teachers are literally the most unqualified teachers. These two grades teach absolutely nothing and you can verify that by having your children test their knowledge at the end of either one of these grade years, especially in math and science. Additionally, make sure to check credentials at the state level because several teachers on this campus claim to have teaching credentials but they are NOT credentialed. The 3rd grade teacher was mediocre. The bathrooms are dilapidated, the field was unusable, and the general overall atmosphere was less than Godly (non Catholics taking the host, etc). Additionally, the leadership’s behavior on this campus was appalling. The principal would engage in gossip and he had absolutely no ability to control the student behaviors on this campus. Inquire about the student who threatened the school a few years back-frightening. This school is a total waste of money. The rumors about this school that float around the area and throughout the other diocese schools are true. Believe the rumors.
