St. Thomas More Cathedral School

Great school, I actually switched my child's school to be a part of Randolph elementary. It has been a great experience. My son loves it, and everyone makes you feel welcomed and comfortable. My son is in Kindergarten, he has learned so much.

We have had a terrible experience at Barrett. The administration is weak and ineffective. They have some serious behavior issues and parent involvement is minimal.

The name of this school is now Alice west fleet. It moved here five? or so years ago in to a brand new building and changed its previous name Patrick Henry to Alice West Fleet. I think it is because the name is not changed here that there are no reviews after 2017. My son has been going to this school for just over a year. I find the teachers are good, they are dedicated, experienced, supportive and engaged with parents, at least in our experience. The administrators are also welcoming and responsive to parent inquiries and concerns. However I found they are not strong in addressing kids bullying. Even though, they responded to concerns from a few parents, they didn’t take strong action so the problem was not fully resolved. I am afraid if such problem persist the school is not well equipped to address it decisively. The advanced academics (gifted) program also seems less challenging and engaging to students enrolled in the gifted program. Over all though, the school environment is welcoming and the education is good with a well diverse student community. In fact I feel the 5/10 rating it is given here I doesn’t do it justice.

My child started first grade here this year. We did kindergarten elsewhere after moving into the area. As a parent I have not felt welcome and my child has struggled to make friends. His teacher seems overworked with a disproportionate focus on test scores and “achievement”. Homework is constantly pushed on us which, although I understand it comes from a place of concern, has been very stressful. And the moment our child met “the metric” he was dropped from being helped. Also the principle is only selectively friendly. I haven’t figured that out yet. But I don’t seem to be on the “list”The best part of the school is the before/after care program which is done in house. There the teachers are warm, friendly and welcoming. They really create a positive and inclusive experience. And it shows: this is the part of the day our child is most excited about. Thanks to those workers!

Unfortunately, my son experienced an unfortunate incident and no action was taken. Furthermore, to make matters worse, they accused my young child of lying. Additionally, there is a severe lack of supervision during lunchtime, with no teachers present, and the communication with parents is extremely poor. Even though I’d diverse there is no comunicación with the parent what so ever. Bad school, if I could give zero I would.

A Staff PerspectiveAs a member of the support staff at Saint Ann Catholic School, I’ve had the unique privilege of witnessing the heart of this school in action—not from the front of a classroom, but from the hallways, lunchroom, and office. What has stood out to me time and time again is the incredible dedication, compassion, and spiritual guidance our teachers provide to each and every student.The teachers at Saint Ann go beyond simply educating—they truly minister to the hearts of the children. They know their students deeply, not just by name, but by spirit. I often see them gently guiding a child through a tough day, taking the time to pray with them, or simply listening with genuine care. That level of love and attention is not something you find everywhere. Whether it’s through daily prayers, faith-filled lessons, or acts of kindness, they create an atmosphere where students not only grow academically but also spiritually and emotionally.As someone who works behind the scenes, I can confidently say that Saint Ann Catholic School is a special place because of the teachers. They pour their hearts into this vocation, and it’s clear in the way the students respond—with respect, joy, and trust.
