this school is horrible, their own teachers bully kids too, and if you report it nothing is done, if you aren’t close to the dean then your kid will be treated as a ghost. school was better when the old principal was there, sucks now
Posted by a parent on 12/24/2025This place is going downhill fast. Really fast. Since Mrs McCoy retired and then Mrs Davis, it flat out sucks so far. Those two loved their students, immensely. It felt like family walking in the door. Now, its feels totally different. But hey, long as the scores raise, right? They like to treat kid
Posted by a community member on 9/16/2022My son is in the special needs program. I transfer him from Thoorp after a very bad experience from his first grade teacher. Now he's been in his current program from 1-4th grade and I couldn't be happier with his progress. The teachers and teacher aids truly do care about my son. Not only his educa

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating Averagethere's lack of organization, teachers and students are laud, nobody listens and starting with the office lady who don't know anything and she don't care what you need as a concern parent. there's no website and no other way to get the announcements about events or so. there's a lot of new Hispanic students and just a couple staff are bilingual.Parent Review9mo ago - Powell Elementary Paideia Community Academy

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIt's a good school for the younger grades. Not as much when kids reach middle school. The staff is judgemental. It's quite noticeable that some teachers don't like kids or the profession they are in. It's unfortunate. Kids are exposed to some things that are unacceptable for a private school. Parents pay tuition for a reason. They want what is best for their child. It may be a Catholic school but not the Catholic way. Besides all the money they ask for. That's as Catholic as it gets.Other Review1y ago - Our Lady Of Guadalupe School
