Our Lady Perpetual Help Cath School

I am concerned about the safety of the children in a school where mouse droppings are present as well as mice run around in the classroom. Not only is the unsanitary environment a major concern but also the safety of the children and staff being exposed to these rodents and droppings left behind. Staff should not have to deal with cleaning up droppings in their classrooms. This is an issue that should be not be brushed off or disregarded, but instead addressed with the appropriate personnel trained in infestation control.

I can't overstate how much my sons have benefited from their time at Faith Christian School. They have grown both academically and in their character through the interactions with staff, faculty, and fellow students. Specialized classes and electives are available at all levels. (We started in 4th grade, so I can't speak to the lower grades.) Both of my children had special needs at points during their enrollment, and the faculty/staff went above and beyond to help them and offer needed accommodations without making them feel singled out. In summary, we are thankful for the Christian environment and academic excellence at FCS both of which are reinforced by quality faculty and staff.

I would never recommend this school to anyone. I am honestly disgusted by the lack of patience, care, compassion, and professionalism shown toward a 4-year-old child. My nephew started Pre-K and, after only ONE WEEK of trying to adjust to an entirely new school environment, they decided to remove him from the program because they considered him “disruptive.”He is FOUR. This was his first week. Instead of giving him time to adjust, making him feel comfortable, trying to understand him, or even sitting down with his parents to discuss their concerns and come up with a plan, they simply gave up on him and kicked him out.If you choose to work in preschool, you should understand that every child is different. Some children need more time, attention, reassurance, and patience than others. The teachers here clearly are not equipped to handle young children who don’t immediately fit into whatever mold they expect. There was no warmth, no nurturing, and no genuine effort to help this child transition into school.And I will say this plainly: I feel race absolutely played a part in the way my nephew was treated. A young Black boy was labeled a problem and removed from school after ONE WEEK instead of being given patience, understanding, and an actual opportunity to adjust. That does not sit right with me at all.If you’re looking for a loving, patient, nurturing environment where your preschooler will actually be given a chance to grow and adjust, I would look elsewhere.
