First off the community at Marist is top notch, most of the families are very supportive of the students and the school. My problem is with the staff and safety at the school. My son was shadowing his eighth grade year at the school. While in PE class his sponsor student, and several other students at the school began to Vape in the locker room. My son gave in to the peer pressure from the older boys and did try it. We found out about it when we picked him up. The head of the school told us exactly what had happened, but did not even bother to apologize . Absolutely nothing was done to the students, and even after trying several times to get some answers about how this happened the school refused to respond - other than to refer us to their legal advisors. We decided right then an there that we would not even bother to apply here. We do have many friends who attended this school and have children who currently attend. They have their own issues, but that is for them to review.

The school does a great job with bullying and has an effective administration. Anyone who says other wise is a parent looking in and doesn't fully understand the inner workings of the school. The teachers are some of the best in the state and many have moved from being college professors to teaching here. They are harsh and demanding but know how to prepare you for college.

Awful, with three kids and the history of bullying and now an investigation around boys and suicide after they leave you have to wonder what is really happening. Teachers bully and so does administration when pushed to see the obvious. Some teachers PE dont have a bachelors. Your voice will not be heard. Balance between girls and boys sports not existent. If want your child to lack confidence and be humiliated this may be the place for you.

There are literally too many instances of bullying to count at this school. But the one that especially stands out to me was my senior year when nine boys in my senior class were bullying me on Facebook in our senior group. I took screen shots and presented the entire conversation to the Dean of Students, who simply told them "not to do it again." There was no disciplinary action taken, despite these boys threatening my safety and even drafting a petition for me to not attend my own prom.
