Unqualified teachers. No clubs, fun programs or anything besides sports for the students. No trips. Very basic school. No frills and no fun. Don't walk RUN to any other school.
Posted by a community member on 10/22/2025We enrolled at this school in 2021. My oldest was then entering 5th grade and my second was entering preschool. We loved so many things about SMS. For starters, how realistic they were with covid precautions-masks were worn, sanitizing was prioritized. They also offered a strong community and includ
Posted by a parent on 3/20/2025You get what you pay for here...and that's not a lot.No extracurricular activities. No student council.No opportunities for clubs or social engagement.Negligent covid policy.Lots of bullying here and no one addresses it. A 6th grader brought knives to school many times! Drugs and vaping are rampant.
Posted by a parent on 5/21/2022My daughter graduated from St. Michael's in 2018, and I found she was not only prepared for high school, but EXCELLED. I credit her high school performance to the strong academic foundation she built during her 9 years at SMS. We think of the money we spent to send her to St. Michael's as in investm
Posted by a parent on 5/18/2020SMS’s success starts at the top with their long tenured Principal, who takes a very hands-on approach and sets the tone for the entire staff. It is reassuring to the parents to know that each child enrolled at SMS will be given all the Christian values and educational components they will need to en

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a raised Kenilworth resident, I had fond memories of the school system and had such high hopes. With covid, we had moved back into town and with my own child attending Harding Elementary, the past 2 school years have been disheartening. The school system protects its image over the well being of the students and will always brush the most severest cases under the rug. The entire school board and school faculty LACKS diversity and we have been treated with racism and favoritism. My child has had nothing but trauma from this school and has no motivation to pursue academically. The school prefers to point fingers at my child versus taking responsibility or action towards anything/anyone else, as it’s easier than solving the actual matter. With a real estate career of my own, fair housing is not only my duty but my love for society and people. As a parent, I have not remained silent and will continue to spread awareness when it’s rightfully so. Everyone is entitled to their own, I speak solely about our experience. No child should have to feel isolated, unfavorable, and singled out due to race or privileges (in the school/town system). We will not continue to take residency or take part of the school system for the future.Parent Review2y ago - Number 10 Elementary School
