West York Area Middle School

This school was a HUGE disappointment. The staff is not trained to work with any children that are not mainstream. What they call "behavior issues" were due to a mental diagnosis and my 5 yr old was singled out and pulled out of class on a regular basis. The Kindergarten teacher is inadequate as is the principal. The school needs more training. Positive reinforcement is something they had to learn as as behavioral learning is based on consequences. The school also threatened to hold her back a year for "lack of maturity/readiness" while she was excelled academically. It was a terrible/traumatic experience for my child. She became moody, sad and hated school. My child was not given the same opportunity to learn about Jesus as mainstream kids are given. If your child doesnt conform or fit the mold that this Catholic school is trying to obtain...then you arent welcome. The parents bully other parents. If you arent getting free tuition, as most of the school seems to be getting, it is expensive. My child was moved to public school at the end of last school year and she is thriving! She did in fact move to the next grade level this school year. Her teachers give her good behavior reports daily. She thankfully is still loving and kind and Holy Trinity Catholic School didnt ruin her view on school or education at such a young age.

My children are very intelligent and like a challenge. I love to see them stretch, academically, athletically, musically etc. This school fits the bill for me. Has a nice family/community feel, great STEAM focus, new building with wonderful spaces. Truly feels more like a hip college campus! In particular, my kids enjoy the digital arts, robotics and French. I love seeing them learn through cool projects and really figure out how to apply skills. My kids find that their teachers respond quickly to emails when they have an issue, even at night and on the weekends. They seem to feel that their teachers are easy to approach and engaging in class. My spouse and I enjoy the candor and passion the teachers share with us as parents. While tuition is high for York, my money is extremely well spent on one thing that really matters to me, the future.

Honestly man this school is just awful it disgusts me the staff especially is awful
