So pretty good school. Lots of kids trying to fight over tiny things. The teachers are awesome. Students are good if you find the right ones. The only complaint really have is that the campus is REALLY dirty. Like if you touch the basketball court in the gym you have to scrub tour hands for 5 mins

The teachers here are fantastic. The administration was everything I could hope when my son was blindsided and attacked at lunch. Drugs were everywhere on campus and fights broke out often. The education is worth risking the violence and drugs.

This school used to be great. But it has slipped into being a mediocre middle school run by poor administrators, woke office personnel, and propped up by weak to o.k. teaching.

It starts from the top and the principal is horrible. She was actually fired and is leaving at the end of this year. Hopefully this will be the start of a better future for SI. Most teachers are not credentialed and class sizes are approaching 40 students per grade. There is a huge bullying issue that is never dealt with. They love to talk about their values, but don’t actually enforce them. ANY other Catholic school in the area is a better choice for your child.
