Felix Festa Achievement Middle School

We love this school! My daughter is the second generation to attend and we couldn’t be happier with the teachers and staff. She loved going to school every morning and always had so much to talk about after. We plan on sending her sister as soon as we can!

I enrolled my daughter at St. Anthony's from kindergarten through 8th grade, and she graduated many years ago. It's important to note that my perspective might be considered somewhat dated. Several of her former classmates have gone on to prestigious universities such as Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, USC, and SUNY system schools. All students I remember pursued higher education, and every parent was deeply invested in their children's academic achievements. Due to this, my daughter experienced strain due to the academic pressure and often felt like she could not measure up to her peers. Unfortunately, the school lacked adequate emotional support services to address issues like imposter anxiety. Despite these challenges, she performed significantly better academically in high school and university compared to students who attended public schools. I appreciate that St. Anthony's maintains high standards for its students and aims to nurture well-rounded individuals with a commitment to philanthropy and service. It seems as though this school has changed over the many years, and I hope this school will flourish again.
