This school is great, if we are going to be honest, NO SCHOOL IS PERFECT, that unicorn does NOT exist. When I walked in to AMBS 7 years ago, I felt safe, I felt kindness, who doesn't want to have their children in a school where Bullying is NOT tolerated, where children a kind to each other, where prayer partners care for the younger children like their own siblings, where the teachers and principal knows every child by name and every family by name, where our PRIEST is always present to pray with our children and us. This is NOT a place where you feel like a number, or a wallet! Small classrooms and one on one attention are so essential for our children in these critical years. Is there problems? YES. Principals turn over? YES. BUT we have a principal who has been a staple in our school and a wonderful teach who STILL teaches and run a school. Not everyone will love every teacher, not every problem can be resolved publicly. Let's be clear this is a school where families come in at 3 years old and leave at 13 and they stay for a reason and the door is always open to anyone who wants to return . AMBS alumni went on to amazing high schools and Ivy League Colleges, these kids have become Business owners, teachers, lawyers, doctors. AT the end of the day, PARENTS is critical to their children success and that comes from FAITH in the people who care and TEACH our children and the goal is always to work together as a team. IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD, and there is no better village than AMBS, where God, Faith in each other, Love is present.

The school this year(2023) chose not to recognize the valedictorian of the graduating class. The academic awards were based on teacher's preference and not outstanding academic achievement. The school has had significant turnover in the past 3 years changing principals 3 times. Additionally, almost the entire middle school teaching staff was replaced this year. Math lessons would only be taught to the students struggling. Those that were not having difficulty were told to quietly read the math lessons independently . I sent my child to a catholic school expecting that ethics and values are an important part of his experience and education. Instead, the school chose to not address the issue of plagiarism with the seriousness that it deserves. I believe that you will get an equal or better experience in the public school and I deeply regret my decision to send my child to this school.

Under the current administration, I would not recommend this school to anyone who is seeking out a Catholic education for their children.

We have our son in K and our daughter in the preschool... We couldn't be happier! They are both learning so much. Teachers are wonderful, great families and most importantly a very safe environment with long standing traditions.

The Academy of The Most Blessed Sacrament is a great school. Excellent faculty, strong curriculum and small classes. Everyone is made to feel they are a person and very much a part of the school however big or small they are. The older children partner up with the younger children for church and for other activities and really care for them. You become part of the family of this school and grow with it. This all happens because we have a great principal who tries her best to pull it all together. Yes, its not a perfect school, but neither is the world. For me, I feel confident my children will be safe, secure and well educated every morning they walk through the school doors.
