St. Benilde School

We love CCCS! Our three kids started at the ELC and are now thriving at CCCS. The staff and teachers are wonderful, and we value the friendships our children are building as well as the strong faith foundation and connection to our home church, Celebration Church

Experiences at St Martin's can be rich and fulfilling with certain faculty in certain classrooms. Issues described in the post from a parent stating the statistics of the school across multiple years is unfortunately accurate. Under the new leadership, the situation has not changed. The school does continue to lack diversity not only in the student body but in the faculty as well. Lack of discipline remains a issue. Class size, while small and intimate, can create social challenges for students. Tuition money is to root of acceptance and retention in regard to consistent discipline issues that are not addressed sternly enough to prevent them from reoccurring. Alum hiring and retention remains the primary focus of the faculty. Endowment funds guide faculty retention decisions and allow for continued poor behaviors. Systemic issues remain at the heart of the growth issue for this institution.

My child has went to school here for many years I have seen a massive decline in teachers actually teaching the students majority of the time they expect the parents to teach the students and the students typically have no clue what's going on at the end of the day other than that great School if you want to essentially homeschool your kid and pay for it just so they can be around other kids that are Catholic.

Many other options for good schools. Make an informed choice

The worst leadership ever. Every aspect is micromanaged. The teachers are not treated as professionals. There is no professional autonomy, regardless of years of experience. The families of this wonderful school community will ultimately suffer under the current leadership.
