Highland Park Middle School

My child said they had awesome memories from Chehalem. Teachers are kind, cooperative and organized. Students are generally kind, bullies won’t bother you if you mind your business, but they will make fun of you. Average amount of kids in each classroom but kids can interrupt or be distracted easily. The food is honestly good. Very fun events, field trips, and experiences. 10/10 would recommended

Teachers have always been warm and supportive to kids and helped them achieve their goals. Have always been supportive with special education. Have several family activities like carnival, family art night, raffle tickets, etc.. My kid always looks forward to going to school and doesn’t like missing even a single day.

I had a great time going to that school, So fun in 5th grade!

My children have attended this school since 1st grade and kindergarten respectively. My senior this year is the portrait of a graduate as described and aspired to by the school. My freshman is also thriving. The school focuses on Classical Christian education - grammar, logic and rhetoric. Both my children are well rounded, good friends to their peers, well spoken, and talented students who can engage any adult, think through any challenge and take a position. I appreciate the biblically based education, particularly in light of the world we live in today. They are staffed with excellent instructors, particularly in choir, art, humane letters and rhetoric. We have enjoyed close friendships with other families and while I walked through divorce, the school continued to support our family to the fullest.

While my children also attended St. Cecilia for secondary school, the Middle School experience cemented my satisfaction with the academic education at St. Cecilia. Children are taught the study skills and foundations to thrive academically in high school. The school mirrors the faith based values of our household and it provides the environment to foster self confidence, community and a love of learning.
