St. Symphorosa Catholic School

Principal and superintendent are the worst . They can care less about the students . All they do is harass you if you get on their bad side .

Best school in the area hands down. I see previous old reviews of principal not being good, well this current principal is great, nothing like the old reviews. Teachers are for the most part great and comunicate with parents effectively. Only had one person give issues but after addressed to the principal have had no further issues. More is being offered at the school regarding activities and early start to doors being open earlier. Overall great school with great people especially for a city school. Overall great staff at this school.

Went to school there. terrible principal she was and still is rude and condescending she definitely needs to be fired, told my family that my IEP and 504 was fake and that i didn’t need one let alone never used it when i got one (which schools are legally required to follow an IEP) had a therapist and psychiatrist come in to tell them that i definitely needed certain requirements and still never cared, a few rude teachers and translators that were there, had one teacher tell my mother that my family needed counseling and i was faking everything. the way they would talk to students should be talked about more. will never send my kids here and will always advocate how terrible this school really is.

Honestly, I have been going to Mark Twain school since I was in 3rd and let me just say, the teachers there do not care about their students enough. From 3rd to 6th grade, they aren’t so strict about what you do and won’t really care what happens. But seventh and eighth grade, they treat you horribly. Currently, I’m in 7th grade and for the past few months I’ve been in school, it’s been hard. There’s test twice a week or more and I know it’s an import year since it determines what high school you go to, but they treat it like it’s a holy grail. Fail a test once? Your grade goes down to a 20%. Get an a,axing 94% on an exam? Your grade goes up like 0.5 of a point. The grading sucks, the teachers are so sassy and rude, the kids are especially nasty from the attitudes they’re surrounded with, and overall I wouldn’t go to this school UNLESS it is the only nearest school, or you want to teach your kid about the “real world” and even if you do that, your kids won’t really like you as much.
