Catherine Kolnaski Magnet School

I was SO pleasantly surprised with this school! My son had Mrs. Nystrom for 1st grade and she was fantastic. It was so fun at the open house to see so many upper elementary kids come in and give her hugs ... my overall experience with the staff & teachers there was great. The kids get art, music, PE, and library/media one day each week, each with a dedicated teacher/classroom. You don't see that very often in public schools any more! Class size was great as well; I think my son only had 17 kids in his classroom.

My child has not only grown as a learner since coming to this school but has enjoyed going to school for the first time ever! He started in 3rd grade and continued through 5th. I have to say it has been the most enjoyable experience as a parent to see my child WANT to go go school every morning! The principals are top notch and I really can't say enough about the teachers and staff. Our family has been so blessed to have become part of this community.

Do Not Send your children to this school. The principal is very unprofessional, she is very rude! There were multiple incidents that occurred that she never reported that needed immediate action to insure the safety of our children. On top of all that they do not care about the education, there were things that my son should have been learning while attending 2nd grade at Sacred Heart School. He was completely behind when it came to his education. I have since then switched schools, his reading has improved greatly! He is finally on track on where he should be for his age and grade. If you want to go to a private school I recommend St Patrick’s Cathedral School! We have never been so happy with a school until now. The staff/educators especially the Principal are wonderful and definitely care about the well being of hour children. The moment I walked in I felt the presence of god/ light and love.
