Santa Lucia School

This is a good school I would recommend it because of the ability to learn and at the same time you can also have more fun

The quality of the school as a recent graduate was average at best and saddening at worst. I will only talk about eighth grade overall because i best remember it. The eighth grade teachers try their best but lash out often (usually for good reasons and intentions) However work at times can feel repetitive and some assignments are never graded or checked (mostly in Social Studies and Reading) which leads to alot of frustration among the students, leading to lackluster effort in work. Additionally, this applies to math and mathematics only, our teacher very poorly taught and reviewed the subject. She sped ran the teaching of it, creating confusion and overall suffering because of our lack of time to process the information and lack of good teaching for us to understand it. The teachers have empathy for the students, giving us break time after stressful periods such as CPS testing. The teachers tried incorporating fun projects and work at some points but I think we should've had more creative projects that made us truly think about it. Our prep teachers were okay overall, however some can be unnecessarily rude and mean and times. Actually, a good amount of faculty were unreasonably rude and disrespectful towards students yet expected respect from said students they disrespected. Most of the students is just friends with others of the same race and mild discrimination (usually jokes but some people are just racist/other discrimination). Anyways this school was fine

I STILL GO HERE BUT THIS SCHOOL IS TERRIBLE!!! You wanna know why? So these kids made my now teacher cry she’s still here but barely talkative! Also! ONE TIME THERE WAS A FIGHT AND THAT KID BROKE ANOTHER KIDS NOSE AND BLOOD WAS EVERYWHERE DO NOT GO HERE I AM WARNING UNLESS YOU WANNA JOIN THOSE TRYHARD POPULAR GIRLS WHO THINK THEY ARE ALL THAT AND THE RUDE BOYS

I want to start off by saying that we are very lucky to have ended up enrolling with Pui Tak. Coincidentally, during the enrollment period at Pre-K, our son was diagnosed with a medical condition that requires substantial monitoring and management. We did not know what to expect when we informed the school staff, however they stepped up without hesitation and formed a planned with us so that our son could attend school and pursue his education unhindered (as much as his condition would allow, anyways). Additionally, our son is still thriving academically several years later. From my observations, the school excels in tailoring lesson plans to the individual student and addressing any needs that standout, whether academic or socio-emotional/behavioral. We are very grateful for the support that the school has provided our son throughout the years and look forward to continuing his education under the school's tutelage.

I have two boys at St. Jerome, going into 5th and 2nd. This is our second year and I am VERY happy with the school. Academically, I feel they are really being challenged. I am a big fan of the curriculum-they teach the common sense, fundamentals that kids need without all the nonsense public schools are teaching these days. There is very strong parental involvement and tons of activities that the kids get involved with generous jeans to support causes, many field trips, mother-son mayhem, father-daughter dance, all-school picnic and many other unique activities that I haven't seen at other schools.
