Emmaus High School

Our kids are thriving! It is hard to express how thankful we are for the staff and leadership at LCA. We can’t imagine being anywhere else.

St Thomas has gone downhill. My siblings and I attended this school as children and my kids went here. I pulled them out because I can no longer justify the cost with what goes on. Education is a joke, administration supports bullying and there is staff there who gossip about things that would make your head spin. My kids needed a tutor for the past several years because they aren't teaching on the same level as the local public schools. There is a huge lack of support since they let go of all of their additional staff who aren't classroom teachers.The tuition has drastically increased and so have all the "extra fees", yet they are cutting jobs and increasing class sizes. Numbers in some grades are higher than the public schools. That should never happen, especially in the primary grades. There also seems to be a large population of liberal staff at STM which is terrible since it's supposed to support Catholic values.

During my time at St. Anns School I found bullying and racism was not properly handled. A kid in my class had a learning disability and was not helped for it. Multiple teachers there favorited other students. Dress code was very strict for girls and the principal once came in our classroom to give us a talk about it. Instead of talking a calm approach she said ,”I will make you go to the bathroom and wash all of your faces if I see makeup”. Although it is fair to have a dress code like that many students were bullied because of there looks and no teacher ever stopped that.
