St. Matthew Catholic School

Many of the teachers seemed disengaged and unapproachable, with limited effort to build positive relationships with students. Communication with parents was also inconsistent, making it hard to stay informed about our child’s progress or classroom expectations.The overall atmosphere at the school felt rigid and uninspired. Creativity and individual student needs often appeared to be overlooked in favor of a one-size-fits-all approach.lack of communication about school events and announcements to parents is so unclear .

My kids love their teachers Davis and Elizalde and they're learning a lot of new things very easily! They are kind and patient. The only concern is that occasionally my son feels like the teachers don't see other kids being mean to him. My kids are excelling academically and they love and know many members of the school faculty and staff by name. We're very happy with our experience so far!

Would not recommend it’s the new school year it’s only been three days and the first two days my daughter comes home each day saying “teacher was yelling” second day “teacher is mad because she don’t like us” like what !!! Never moved my kid faster AND their ac don’t even work ! It’s always hot in that school and the front lady at desk is rude ! Very rude she’s an old lady with white blond ish hair

This is a phenomenal learning environment with teachers who really care about learning and spiritual growth. No it is not the place for students with special needs; they do not have the accommodations. They do have rigorous Bible based curriculum and the atmosphere is Non-Woke. It is a great alternative to other schools if you are looking for something Bible based and different. There are a lot of really nice children here who support one another. This school is worth checking out!

Brooks is perfect if you’re looking for a school that is a-ok. There is nothing especially remarkable about brooks, if I were to name everything bad about brooks then I’d have a long list, some teachers aren’t competent or teach the wrong subject then what they have a degree in, advisory periods are short and there isn’t enough time to finish work. There are multiple buildings and you will never find yourself lucky enough for all your classes to be in just one unless you are in elementary. When you are late to class you might find yourself just giving up waiting to be let in and passing time in the bathroom. The cafeteria is a gymnasium, and there is a serious line cutting problem on Wednesdays during the upper school lunch period. As far as I know, there is no bullying, but ruthless pestering from students you don’t know in its place. Some students don’t have enough respect to pass time silently so they are a menace the entire 90 minutes. However, it’s EXTREMELY easy to find, and fit into a group of friends as long as you aren’t delusional(there’s a clique for that too) and the school counselors actually help and have a sense of humor, the classes are fun if you make them and it’s extremely easy to actually have fun here since the school has lots of events and stuff(and it’s extremely easy to skip class with a good enough excuse).So do I recommend sending your kid here? ABSOLUTELY. Will they hate and conspire against you until they get used to it? Totally. Will they prefer to stay there after a year there, yea.
