Mt Olive High School

The school focuses more on social-emotional learning than math and language basics.

How can student progress be 1 if they are performing well in tests. Teachers are amazing and kids are in a secure learning environment. It's a safe place for the kids. Kids are constantly appreciated for their acts of kindness through Mountain View Moment. Flanders PTA is strong and takes good care of all the requirements of kids and school.

Although the teachers at this school work hard to create a positive learning environment for the children, the administration is unprofessional and, in my opinion, fosters a toxic environment that seems to bring out the worst behavior in children who might otherwise have been kind, instead of cruel to their fellow students. It was terrible to witness, as the children deserve better. I don’t believe the environment and toxic culture can change at this school until there is a complete change in the school’s current administration. I would not recommend this school to any parent, as your child’s self esteem and emotional well being may be severely damaged in this environment.

This school was my daughter's first introduction to education in the USA and it's an incredible school. Her Kindergarten teacher created the most nurturing and positive environment for the class that my daugher couldn't wait to go to school every day. Her 1st grade teacher was the most supportive and caring teacher I've had the privilege to meet. The head teacher believes passionately in the school and her students. Safety is Paramount and I felt happy sending my child into school every day. Parent interaction and school community is so strong here. The active PTA work so hard to provide fun and engaging events for the kids and their families. We were very sad to move out of State and leave this wonderful school.

The school has no cameras in its entire facility which is very alarming to me. Compared to other day cares, children do not learn or advance in absolutely anything. Some of the teachers are fine, it is the administration and front desk. I am a very laid back parent but when I start Being worried if my child might possibly not be being treated well at a place because of how much he dreads going to it. , I have to start wondering about it. We are much happier where we are now and I am starting to see the changes and improvements in absolutely every single aspect of my child just like I was before our small stay at this day care.

My children have attended St. Mikes since PreK. The school joined The Catholic Academy of Sussex County 2 yrs ago. Since then, the Academy has integrated the 8th gr classes from 4 catholic elementary schools into a separate wing at Pope John XXIII H,S. Pope John heads the Academy; St. Mikes, Rev Brown, St. Joes & Immaculate Conception are all part of this Academy. The concept is great, because it gives the students an opportunity to experience the rigors of HS without negatively impacting their GPA. They get a preview of how to move about the classes without having to crisscross the entire campus and they get to meet many of the students they will be going to HS with. By attending an Academy school, students will automatically be accepted into Pope John for HS. I have a child who will be attending the 8th grade program this fall & we are excited to see how the year pans out. The small school environment has been a wonderful experience. The teachers know each child; there is a real sense of family. Mr.Jackson, the Principal, works tirelessly to make sure St.Mikes has every technological advancement available. We love SMS & are blessed to able to send our children to this school!!!

I have 3 children currently attending St. Therese School. The proof of excellency in this school is in the children. Respectful, well spoken, kind , disciplined and caring. I love the "buddy" system and my kids love having an older student to look up to. Just wonderful, I feel blessed that my children attend this school. It's worth every sacrifice we have made. You won't find a better curriculum or teaching staff. The teachers really care about each and every student and family. It's comforting to have the connection with the Church and Priests. They are there for our students on a daily basis as well.

I had high hopes for this high school several years ago. There is a revolving door of unqualified teacher's Some who have no teaching background. It's come to my knowledge that the grading system is inflated and the students do not receive the grades that they earn. The Administration Is known to change the grades From failing to passing to make the school look better for incoming students. From what I hear, The students get credit for work that has not received or not completed. Yet the school preaches integrity. Supposedly they receive an automatic 50% no matter what. The administration does not stick up for The teachers And caters to the students ever need without any discipline.. As they say the inmates run the asylum. For several very good teachers that have left the school over various reasons and recently Well beloved science teacher.. buyer beware! Save the tuition and send to a different private school or public school.
