St. Francis DeSales School

My daughter has been there since kindergarten and the school began going down hill in the third grade. The third grade team is horrible! They are rude and they do not care about the students education! One teacher says one thing and to cover her tail, she will lie and the principal backs them on everything they do right or wrong! The fourth grade math teacher doesn't communicate. I am a very active and open parent. I will reprimand my daughter for her actions, behavior or attitude if it's brought to my attention. The only way a demerit should be given to student is after meeting with the parent isn't helping but if you are not communicating with the parent to ensure that we can fix the problem then it will continue. Keep the parents engaged, how can you fix a problem when you don't know that their is one? Communication in this school sucks!

MCR is a most incredible place. As an alumni from 30 years ago myself, I feel blessed to be able to send my 2 children to the same school (in the same space no less! and not much has changed, in a beautiful timeless way!). The staff is well-trained in Maria Montessori's principles, and the children benefit greatly from this. I used to think that it was expensive when I had to scrounge up the hard-earned money to pay the bills, but now I realize what an incredible bargain it is! my money has been well spent sending my children to a wonderful school, with a caring and attentive staff and community, where they have learned and continue to grow into the amazing individuals that they are meant to be. I give much credit to MCR for assisting in their early childhood development, and would highly recommend this school to any parent interested in sending their child to a safe, warm, nurturing, and mind-expanding school during their formative years.

I wish i didn’t have to leave them one star. The school’s leadership is some of the worst I have ever seen. They are most unprofessional and run the school based on their emotions and desires not the families or students. If you happen to be a divorced parent, WATCH OUT, they will take sides and literally try ruining your life! I would never send another child here!

Our experience has been excellent. Starting with the Admission process. They are helpful, understanding and welcoming. The teachers want the students to learn and do well and keep the parents part of the process.
