This school is horrible I used to go here and got bullied heavily and was pushed down a flight of stairs by my old classmate and they didn't do anything about it because she was white I would not recommend this school because they are extremely racist

Posted by a parent on 9/25/2025Great school, laid/provided a solid education that has helped our son as he advanced through high school, college and masters. He has maintained his beliefs & closest friends from his time at SMS despite being on the other side of the Country. Worth every penny. We only get one chance with our child
Posted by a parent on 8/8/2024This school has been nothing but problems for one of my children’s. Always complaining instead of creating a solution. The new principle is very rude and doesn’t care how she talks to you. There not suppose to touch children but one incident she pushed my son up the steps because he was walking to s
Posted by a parent on 5/3/2024Really regret sending my son here. His potential was wasted. His grades suffered throughout his time at Saint Matt's and now that he is in high school he is a straight a student!!! His teachers love him and he has met some really great people. He is no longer hanging with the wrong crowds and gettin

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTerrible school, ESPECIALLY if your kid is autistic. Teachers don’t know what they’re doing, principals don’t care and nobody makes an effort to do any better. I gave this school two chances and it just got worst. My son won’t be going here next year, I would rather him be home school if it’s came down to it and that’s how bad it is. Pure neglect.Parent Review1mo ago - Holme Thomas School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teaching staff for grades 1-8 are okay. The principal and dean do not handle situations effectively. They do not keep parents up to speed, the dean has used foul language to me and the children. She unprofessional and rude she uses street language invited me to the school to “match my energy”.Parent Review4mo ago - Spruance Gilbert School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe students here are horrible, my friend got her $30 volleyball roofed and the Climate Manager said he would get it on Monday (mind you, this incident happened on Friday so using common sense, would the ball not have fallen off by then?) The Climate Manager then offered her a ball from five below. The student who roofed the ball was left unpunished and after being confronted, did not compensate.Student Review1y ago - Lincoln High School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is disorganized in all aspects of running an organization. They don’t take responsibility when it comes to bullying and it seems like it’s up to the kids to defend themselves. If your child is into sports through the CYO DO NOT SEND THEM HERE!! There is no sense of urgency in creating an environment that gets students excited about extra curricular activities at all!!! My child has been being harassed all school year and the lack of accountability by teachers and staff is absurd. I have three children going to this school one graduating this year, the staff doesn’t celebrate the accomplishment of graduating students even by showing up for them at their fundraisers. I do not recommend this school at all, it’s one step above public school.Parent Review2w ago
