This school sucks it is terrible the teachers DONT care about the well being of the students
Posted by a student on 8/31/2025This school was terrible and while there were some great teachers there were also horrible ones and overall no one did anything about bullying. They cared more about kids breaking dress code than they did kids being harassed. I hated my three years there. In my 7th grade they made us keep the girls
Posted by a community member on 6/17/2025The new principal & assistant principal run a tight ship & are very professional & courteous. The school is still under renovation (a few yrs to complete in phases) - so glad to see the old made like new! My son loves this school. Caring teachers & great kids. I love the 'no bullying' policy.
Posted by a parent on 9/16/2013The school is literally falling, the walls are cracked, teachers are unsatsfactory, The principals are a joke! Bullying haha! The administrators could care less. I do not want to go back for my eighth grade year. I really hope im not going back this year..
Posted by a community member on 7/22/2013I have just finished my three years at this school. I hated it. The dress code was enforced so ridiculously (with made up rules to boot). I did like most of my teachers, so that was fine. I don't think that money has ever been spent wisely in the case of BFMS. There were literally tiles falling off

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSt. Amelia’s has really gone downhill in the past few years. Was hoping this year would be better, but the principal is on a medical leave, a gym teacher fired, and another Kindergarten teacher just left. The turn over in administration and teachers is astounding! The people they have running it are less than impressive. Oh and if your child has an IEP, they barely follow it!Parent Review5mo ago - St John The Baptist School
