As a former educator and a current Licensed Professional Counselor who works exclusively with children and adolescents, my expectations for a school are HIGH. I cannot say enough good things about SML...this school is truly a family and they care about each individual child. The teachers are engaged and responsive and support the kids by attending extracurricular events on their own time! We just love the school and staff and HIGHLY recommend this school!

The school is beautiful and the kids are just family to one another, which is hard to find these days in the classrooms. I would highly recommend this school to everyone!

As a former student I agree with many of the negative reviews here. It looks like not much has…read morechanged. I attended this school from 1st through 8th grade and now I'm in my 30s. They are still owned by the same people it seems. Back then there was already a high teacher turnover rate and my experiences here ultimately pushed me away from religion altogether. I endured relentless bullying after 5th grade including from staff's children and older students, while teachers looked the other way. I also dealt with derogatory name-calling and shaming from both peers and staff. In 7th grade I was pressured into signing a contract without my parents' knowledge after administrators decided I wasn't "the kind" they wanted at their school. What triggered the contract in the first place was my MySpace at the time. I had a tank top on in my profile picture that supposedly accentuated my chest mind you I was 12. Eventually I was expelled, for something as small as kissing a boy on the cheek, while far more serious behavior from other students were overlooked. Looking back, I wish my parents had never paid tuition here. I found more peace, acceptance, and quality education in Katy ISD public schools than I ever did at this private school. Save your money, and if you are set on private school, try anywhere but here. They don't advocate or empathize with their students. You either fit their mold or you're an outcast.

It's been a fantastic school for our family over the past few years. It's a small school that feels…read morelike a homeschool co-op. The experience varies tremendously based on each teacher for elementary but we've been very fortunate with excellent teachers. The math program is very good. Students are given the opportunity to skip grades it capable. Class sizes are very small (often 10 or less per grade) and kids receive plenty of individual attention. However, like any school, parent involvement is still important. The facilities could use upgrades and the restrooms would benefit from being kept cleaner.

I will say with tuition food service. At first the food service was horrendous. My child would come home and be starving all the time. Choices were almost all Asian. They finally got a great chef and the kids were coming home and raving. Now it seems they for whatever reason have changed or released the chef or company that was handling it. To say this least I am very disappointed in whoever made that decision. All week my child has come home complaining.

We love this school and its teachers and staff. The school definitely emphasizes its Catholic identity, which is the primary reason why I would even consider sending my kids to a Catholic school. There are several award-winning teachers here and it shows. Quality education, family-like environment and the tuition is extremely reasonable for a private school. While they may not have the fanciest things and facilities, when I see my child's development and love for going to school, I feel reassured that I've made the right decision by sending him here. I've gotten involved with the parent community, which at first was a bit daunting but it's been a great experience getting to know them and I look forward to journeying together with them as our children all grow up here.

To be clear, the two stars are only for a handful of wonderful teachers that worked there. I was…read moretold great things about the school with the prior principal. However, I do have to say under this new principal the school has become very business driven and has lost the old Catholic school culture. She lacks leadership and has developed an atmosphere of turning the other way when issues evolve. She's very transparent of the families and student selections that have more facilitation to support economically. The bullying situation in the school is atrocious. They have nothing set in place to have any control over the situation and only have a part-time counselor so if it's her day off and there's an issue to be addressed, good luck. Again to be fair there is a handful of good hearted teachers that work hard and care about the students but the leadership. I feel well little by little deteriorate, the quality of the school. Just speaking from the heart and God willing things will change for future generations once this leadership team is no longer there.
