St. Mary School

This is the worst i have ever experienced in a learning environement. They have allowed other kids to beat my daughter without giving her any support. If you are looking for a school for your kids to feel unsafe be my guest and let your kids go there.

I agree that the rating for this school is suprisingly low. My daughter goes to this school and we have had a positive experience with the new principal and teachers.

I was told this was a great school, it may have been many years ago, but for the past 5 years all I have done is gone to this school and tried to get one child help, same child, same issues, asking for help guidance suggestions and ultimatley its oh well its the child's job to figure it out because they feel they have done all they can, well if you feel you have done all you can and it hasnt helped this child one bit, how about lets get this child the help he needs and deserves with out the politics

My family couldn't be happier with our decision to send our children to this wonderful school! We are new to Boston and searched for a small private school and feel lucky to have found St Peter Academy. The teachers, staff and principal are most welcoming and the curriculum is top notch. Community and family involvement are infused into the school environment which shows in the caring nature of every student. I highly recommend St Peter Academy!

DEEP CONCERNS The experience can be summed up in the following: Uncomfortable Environment for Children of Color * 1 teacher of color* Frequently sending children of color out of the school by referral to BPS. Frequent Turnover of Principal and Teachers *Different Principal every year. *Our child said numerous times that his teacher "left". Meaning they walked off the job in the middle of the semester. Inexperienced Teachers *Teachers frequently overwhelmed, preoccupied and unable to keep parents informed. Not Worth the Expensive Price Tag*The school is very expensive, yet you have to walk up seven flights of stairs, the classrooms are outdated and the experience felt very much like the public school experience we had with our older child. ConclusionIf you want the private school experience with a catholic education - seriously consider a different option. This felt like a public school with many lingering issues, an unwelcoming environment and lack of funding.
