Sacred Heart School

I thought by sending my son to this private Catholic school I was giving him the best education and opportunity. I had gone to Catholic school all my life and had a wonderful experience. Unfortunately that was not the case with my son and Sacred Heart. After my son was diagnosed with a medical condition, Sacred Heart refused to accommodate his special needs. Even after granting them full access to talk to his team of doctors, review of his medical records, and a doctor created care plan for school, the new principal chose to tell us a quarter of the way into his second year he wasn’t welcome. Unfortunately that was not the only issue we had, or other parents have had. Bullying is not reported to the parents or controlled by the school. My nephew (also a student) was held down and kicked and stomped on by his classmates at recess and my son came home several times having been punched, put in a headlock, etc. There was lots of verbal teasing as well. To put the icing on the cake, one of my son’s teachers (knowing all about his special needs) told him he’s an animal and didn’t deserve to be at Sacred Heart. For a school that claims Jesus is at the heart of everything they do, I am appalled at how my son was treated. It even lead to 2 suicide attempts. Thankfully my son is now in the local public school, receiving top notch support, and he is THRIVING. He’s also receiving a much better education and is surrounded by competent educators. Also, after kicking him out due to his special needs, they kept the tuition. Absolutely disgusting behavior all around and not a place fit to teach children.

I used to love this school, when it was run by “Mr.Fitz”. He was fair and compassionate. I can’t say the same for the new principal. She is overly stern, rude and lacks compassion. I will not be sending my youngest to this school.

Sacred Heart is fantastic! They have been open full time in the 20-21 year and have not experienced any closures or quarantine in the classroom. Through all the COVID chaos, Sacred Heart has maintained a school year of normalcy (as much as possible) while ensuring health and safety. There is a wonderful before/after school program which can be pricey on top of the tuition if needed for extended hours.School encourages (enforces) kindness and respect for one another. Any bit of mean or aggressive behavior is acknowledged and handled immediately. I love the uniform - makes each day easy and much lower cost in yearly wardrobe. No fighting over outfits in the mornings and always know what to wear. With small class sizes, the kids receive individual attention. They are encouraged to do their best while being creative and developing friendships with classmates. Classes start as young as pre-k 3 up to 8th grade. Pre-K 3, 4 and K are not thrown into the rest of the school. They are included in events, minimally as to not overwhelm. I did not send my kids to Pre-K at Sacred Heart fearing the school was too big and not a traditional preschool. After seeing it now, I wish I had and they could have continued in the same school up to middle grades. I highly recommend! Wouldn’t send my kids anywhere else in the local area.

I once used to boast about this school! I sent 2 of my children here and love it! It was definitely a place of family and community. I recently sent other child here and unfortunately found the the staff and principal had completely changed. The school has now become bitter, unwelcoming and uptight. A place where my children used to love and adore, has become a place now despised:( I hope one this school can recover its past reputation and gets new staff.....especially a new principal!!

Small classes with children being able to get much attention. Children know one another in other grades as one big family. Nice dress code. Teachers are very attentive to children. Great ciuricculum,
