We regret sending our kids to Marie Murphy. Although our kids had a few outstanding teachers and classes, in most classes they were bored and learned very little. Marie Murphy does not differentiate teaching or curriculum for students who learn faster or slower. I've heard from a number of parents t
Posted by a parent on 3/28/2022Marie Murphy (part of School District 37) is poorly run. Our son was bullied by the school and then, when we complained, they tried to humiliate him. The school and district do not care about educating children. There are many negative reviews about Marie Murphy for a reason, as it is not a good pla
Posted by a parent on 3/17/2022Teachers seem unqualified. Definitely tell kids what to think rather than trying to get kids to think for themselves. Districts in the area are much better than Avoca.
Posted by a parent on 1/31/2022We have had multiple poor experiences dealing with Marie Murphy and Avoca School District 37. In my opinion, the leadership is incompetent. The district's finances are poorly handled. The teachers, on average, give 3+ hours of homework each night, which is significant for a junior high student. Whil
Posted by a parent on 12/14/2021Marie Murphy was a school I look back on where I learned more about myself and expand myself as an individual than what I feel most middle schoolers are able to do. I was able to try and experience new things in a comfortable and supportive environment. In a suburb of primarily white people and a fe

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe love Romona! Our kids are excited to go to school every day and the teachers and administration make it easy to communicate with them and know what’s happening at school. As someone who didn’t love going to school, I’m so happy to see my kids excited almost everyday to go learn.Parent Review1y ago - The Joseph Sears School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageDuring our time at the school, leadership changed frequently, including multiple principals, assistant principals, the Dean of Students, and many teachers. Students faced bullying that often went unaddressed, and as a parent, it seemed staff were discouraged from reporting problematic or concerning student behavior they observed in classrooms or on the playground.Parent Review4mo ago - St Joseph School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageNorth Shore Country Day has given me the best high school experience imaginable. With the small classroom sizes and close knit feel, I have been able to grow exponentially as both a student and person. With a heavy focus on public speaking in the classroom, I have grown increasingly comfortable to share my own thoughts out loud and have been challenged academically. Along with this, I have really thrived socially. The school fosters a super accepting culture and really the biggest problem is people can be too soft...I have loved my past four years and would not change my decision to come here. Trust, you will find your people you just have to be willing to speak to everyone.Student Review2y ago - St. Faith Hope & Charity
