My daughter did not get the resources for her IEP, instead the teachers FAILED her without reason because they were “unaware of her IEP”. Secondly, my daughter got bullied out of the school due to her being gay. The students don’t each lunch in the cafeteria due to the fights and how unsafe it is. D

Posted by a student on 3/5/2024As a former student, I witnessed the chaotic system of the prinicpal at its finest. She was not motivational at all torwards the entire student body, but only to those who had high grades. The workload was decent depending on your teachers but there was little to no help provided. All of the support
Posted by a community member on 3/14/2014The Principal is the source of conflict and strife at the school. As a teacher at the school, I have seen how she gets around rules and does not help students to get an education. Her goal is to get students graduated by the fact that they have credits, but whatever those credits mean is not her con
Posted by a teacher on 3/13/2014It can be very miserable teaching in this school. The administration is not very helpful. If you ask for help or raise a disagreement about a policy, you are called into the office and basically told to start being a team player. The principal constantly talks under her breadth to show her disappoin

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur family has had a wonderful experience at SSCA. We've had one child go through the entire elementary and middle school, and another one is currently in the middle school having been there since pre-K. They have grown into strong students and critical thinkers, and my high schooler is now thriving at an academically rigorous high school. SSCA is a warm school with a culture of kindness, genuinely caring teachers and very responsive administrators. And it has a surprising number of extra curricular activities for such a small school (a school chorus, a full school band, robotics team, debate team, track team, etc.) Our family has made life long friends and found a second home at Saint Saviour Catholic Academy.Parent Review6mo ago - Berkeley Carroll School
