St. Madeleine Catholic School

very bad school dont go to ok

There's a fair amount of good teachers at this school. The principal is approachable, and good with students. A few times a month the school offers parent workshops. The workshops range from social media to cybersecurity. The students celebrate and participate in school spirit week, back to school night, multicultural day, and other activities. Overall, we like the school environment, the principal, and the office staff.

It is an excellent school teachers every day for our children strive. They have new programs for parents

This educational learning ground is a horrible mess for my children and their learning environment. The supervisors are a terrible example of a biased adult that only cares about the female demographic of the student body. The way teachers and administrator are handling situations was unacceptable. For example a kid broke the toilet and they didn’t get in trouble which was rather odd, because the matter was very serious and every kid should be responsible for their actions and should now that their actions have consequences. Even though we are older kids the authorities on campus were treating the youngsters with more bias or respect. No kid shall be more preferred than others and can lead to a toxic relationship with the older kids and the supposedly responsible/respectful adults on campus. The experience my children had when they came home and told me about their day. They said a kid was smoking one of those e-cigarettes and brought a box knife to school, and was threatening people. They also told me that when the kid brought the e-cigarette the kid wasn't in trouble but I can’t prove that this happened this is just all word of mouth that they told me. By their expression and physical appearance it seemed to be true but I can’t say for sure. My children were also emotionally harmed from all the bullying that went unreported in this supposedly anti-bullying student body. The school counselor wasn’t a emotional support person that it should. My children and my children’s peers have told stories of the counselor spreading misinformation about them and lying about their conditions or making stuff up. For some odd reason the school administrator can’t take a serious topic with good handling and had a kid who made a TikTok page about hating students which was a serious problem. The only thing is that when the principal handled it and it’s seems to be a very serious problem for students is that the principal just lectures them and lets them go. Especially for the female demographic. I heard stories of girls literally getting injured by school fights and the group of girls that attacked her were only banned from student recess for only 2 weeks like I mean cmon. Well that’s my children’s experience and my experiences that we had with this establishment.

My overall experience was disappointing, particularly in comparison to the previous principal, who was excellent. The current administration lacks effective communication skills and is often unresponsive and dismissive. After my child completed a full semester, I was denied a final report card simply because I transitioned to homeschooling before parent conferences. Being told I couldn’t receive records because my child is "no longer a student" felt cold and unnecessary. While the leadership is lacking, the kindergarten teachers are outstanding and were the highlight of our time there.
