Mather High School

I went here until I moved in 7th grade I saw kids vaping in the bathrooms and saw multiple fights and I even say two people making out and they do nothing about it I even saw a teacher agree with a person who was verbally bullying another person and made it sound like it was her fault and over there are the most toxic girls I ever saw they pretend to be cool but they can't even wear makeup properly.

I hate the lunch room where you can't even stand up and the staff are mean and me and four of my friends did absolutely nothing wrong but do me and four of my friends got false accused for no reason

you don't want to pay for making your child sick..very poooor standards!! you can find better places for sure..

St Hilary School is an amazing school and a hidden gem in the North Park neighborhood. The school is warm and welcoming and very diverse. The Principal, Mrs. Kathie Donovan, is dynamic and incredibly engaged in every facet of the school's operations. We have been especially impressed by the music and art programs, which includes both band and choir. The teaching quality is superb, which is also supported by small class sizes and a great student-to-teacher ratio. Our son is in second grade, and we've been very happy with his teachers every year so far. Attention is also given to incorporating current thinking in pedagogy and curricula, and just last year they incorporated new flexible seating. Our son also attends aftercare, and he participates in the Super Soccer extracurricular program. Sports offerings include volleyball and basketball programs for girls and boys. The Family Student Association (FSA) plans regular activities and opportunities for engagement. Overall, Catholic/Christian teachings are evident especially in the spirit of kindness and service present in this school.

St. Philip Lutheran School did not meet our expectations. The overstatements on the website are misleading. Some of the teachers are unlicensed, the curriculum isn't academically rigorous and there are very limited enrichment opportunities. Not all of the teachers treat the students with kindness and respect. Mandatory fundraising fees and additional school fees are added to the tuition cost. Overall, the school does not provide good value for the cost. There are many private schools that offer qualified teachers, rigorous academics, and a truly supportive learning. environment.

Overall the school has a really good curriculum as seen through Iowa tests results. Good Islamic and arabic teachings as well this year.
