This school has it's pros and cons. The pro is the small…read moreclass sizes. Less than 50 students per grade, so it is possible to know all of your classmates. This is also a con because it makes "cliques" more apparent. Pros: Parent-teacher relationships are strong. Attached to the church so there is no walking outside during inclement weather. Nuns still teach and run the school, this is less common in some other Catholic schools. Convenient for local children. Has after school program. CORA is available to tutor children who are having trouble, this happens during school hours. Cons: Costly, there are even charges if your child stays for lunch (which last I remember is held in the classrooms since there is no proper cafeteria.) Lack of after school activities, and those that do exist are expensive. Extracurricular classes are poor, in particular gym, which is held in the chilly basement of the church. Small class sizes mean advanced students are held back. To keep them busy they are asked to help less advanced students. Most of the student body lives in the area and graduates to Archbishop Ryan. Religion is held in high regard, and is very prevalent in the classroom. By attending this school, CCD is not mandatory as you study for and receive the sacraments through their church.

For lunch you either ate in the classroom or walked home for lunch. Maybe you went over to Academy Plaza But you know what ! I received a good catholic school education, and I would not change that for anything.

There are only a handful of teachers that teach because their heart is in it. No one really wants to DO THEIR JOB!! Also there were 2 homework assignments all year! THEY DO NOT GIVE CHILDREN HOMEWORK to do which is insane to me. (I had to go to target and order my daughter workbooks. I assigned 2-5 sheets a day depending on how challenging they were.) The school is SO DATED ( THE DISTRICT INVESTS NO MONEY INTO THIS SCHOOL!!! They barely have air conditioner so they send the kids home early when it's really hot outside. This school doesn't care about the youth it's more than evident... my child attended for 4 yrs and in my experience they get worse and worse EVERY YEAR. If you care for you child just skip this entire school. Literally just a babysitter from 7:30 - 3:09. I just want to thank the school for ( BEING SO BAD IT) encouraged our move to FLORDIA!! & The schools thus far here ( A PHENOMENAL EXPERIENCE) !!!

IT BEATS PUBLIC SCHOOL…read more My son goes there for pre-K. We love the school and their staff. Once my daughter is old enough to attend, we will be sending her too. I only have one concern, and it's a major one, they need to tighten up security on the grounds. I would like to see them a hire a police officer or an armed security guard. I know people will probably say why, but the safety of my(and your) children is the most important thing that I think of when I'm not there with them. My wife and I pay a decent amount of money to send our son here. I wouldn't mind paying a little more if they could meet those concerns. Please don't take this review as a bad one. This was only negative that I have with the school, but I think it's worth mentioning.
