    St Pats is a small school with limited enrollment so the students all get to know each other well…read morefor the 9 years they attend. There are 2 classes for each grade level. Parents are highly involved in the classroom, in the lunchroom, carpool line, on field trips, and with fundraising events. Teachers work with kids on social skills (i.e. implementing the Golden Rule, helping the less fortunate, not bullying, etc. ) throughout the day, and especially during daily religion classes. We were concerned that St Pats didn't have a gifted program like RISD has REACH. However, our child has the kindergarten teacher who spends an hour each week doing REACH puzzles that RISD kindergarteners can do one evening a month. Students are tested before entering kindergarten for temperment and acedemic aptitude. This helps school administrators know how to divide students. There are 2 kinder classrooms, one with a slower softer teacher for students who are not as acclimated to school, the other teacher has the faster learners and inspires great enthusiasm in her students. (if your child is already reading before starting Kinder, which is not necessary, but you will want to be sure to request the accelerated teacher) Also, in the spring of kindergarten year, students can begin Chess club. Later in upper grades, there is a 2 week summer program for gifted students in the diocese that is by invitation based on grades which explores science and the arts. Overall, St Pats is a very nice learning environment, close community of parents and students, and a great value for your money.

    My two children are thriving at Lakehill. They have been enrolled six years now. My junior in high…read moreschool son and ninth grade daughter have learned many valuable social, emotional, athletic, and certainly educational lessons. Moving them from Lamplighter was very timely as they were craving structured environments that had rigorous academics. I am thrilled that they have been able to pursue their passions - including theater, sports, volunteerism, so many clubs, and leadership opportunities. Don't let the small class size fool you, it is a blessing! There are tons of opportunities for growth and they encourage the students to shine based on their own merits. Contrary to that negative yelp post from way too many years ago (P.S. You can't blame a child's drug habit on the school. That's called observant & disciplined parenting), the administration keeps a close eye on the students and alerts the parents quickly to concerns or behavior shifts. I can confidently say that we have parented in partnership with the school to raise smart, respectful, creative, athletic, well-balanced students. And Lakehill's focus on college prep is indeed a strength. The college counselor Ms. Dondis is a highly acclaimed professional - even a sought after expert speaker in her field. We specifically looked at Lakehill because it offered nondenominational education with so many opportunities in a nurturing, structured environment with a solid academic track record. 5 Stars for great academics, sports, a great community of involved parents,and a caring administration!

He is…read morevery happy to go to school, participate in sports and service projects, and make and keep what are sure to be long time friendships, all of which are long term benefits of a smaller, private school education. I feel as though he is a mature, respectful, well-prepared middler who I expect to achieve a very sold, college readiness experience. In terms of technology, the school does use lots - iPads, laptops, labs..... fairly typical of what I expect from a school such as this. The most important part of my observation is that he is happy and likes to go to school. I'm impressed. When I lived and taught in Dallas, I had no idea what this school was until a colleague left my school to teach there. That was 1997 - and he is STILL THERE! Since then another friend left his school to teach there. At this point it got my attention. Then they hired a marketing director, and the school started appearing more and more in the paper - like a LOT. Service projects became popular and a mainstay, and it was clear there was a strategic plan executed that included some serious "play," which has paid off; all of these things, my nephew participated in. It's a best kept secret for sure. From a community member perspective, living in the Lakewood area was a good experience, and I was able to participate in their fund raisers (Trek For Tech, among others), even though I didn't have kids in the school. Overall, if you are looking for a private school, you may be immediately enamored with the "big 5 (St. Marks, Cistercian, ESD, Hockaday, and Ursuline), and there are HUGE merits to each of them, but Lakehill prep is not to be missed.

    I wholeheartedly endorse this gem of a school. I encourage you to tour if you are looking for a…read morenurturing and enriching school for your small child. Both my children attended MCHS from ages 3-6. They have different personalities. My daughter is serious and has always been an old soul. My son is a high-energy joker. Each thrived in this environment. Why I'd choose MCHS again: 1. Quality of the teachers. Phenomenal guides including the administration and the aftercare which as a working mom was a huge priority for me. The director is incredibly competent and has a long tenure at the school. When I asked my now 9-year old daughter what she thought people should know about MCHS she said, "The teachers at MCHS are loving and kind and treat the kids like they are capable." 2. Sense of empowerment that my kids have developed here. Kids love work and purpose. Montessori teaches kids they can learn to do things for themselves. From ironing to tying their shoes to using wooden blocks to literally build a four digit number, so they understand the physical representation of the number. 3. Each of my kids has developed an impressive attention span which I credit largely to their time at MCHS. My six year old son designs and embroiders pillows. My daughter and her best pal used to write and illustrate stories together, some of which were more than thirty pages long. They didn't get this focus from me. I thank MCHS! I'd also emphasize the benefits of staying at MCHS through kindergarten. It really does all come together in the third year and provides a strong foundation moving forward. At MCHS, each of my children learned to write in cursive. They learned to read. They developed dear friends. They felt accountable for showing the smaller kids the ropes in the classroom. Not only looking out for them, but sometimes tutoring the little kids, reinforcing their own learning in the process.

    We loved our experience. My little one just finished her kindergarten year. High quality teachers…read more(she LOVED her teacher and tells me that she learned so much). Local gem in my opinion. We will be sending our second daughter there this fall.

    This is the Wildcat Ram Stadium. It is home to Lake Highland Wildcats and the Berkner Rams. It is…read morea pretty nice facility with artificial turf and holds about 8800 people at its capacity. It has a nice press box and scoreboard. It is well lit at night, though truthfully the parking lot could be better lit. I have come here for a few football games, most recently last night. My concern is that they many times shut down the visitor side and put both teams fans on the same side. There simply is not enough parking on the home side, making it a long walk on the outside of the stadium for anyone having to park on the visitor side, like my 90 year old mother had to do. Another issue I had was with the attitude of some of the security team for RISD. Families with handicap members could not sit as a family in the handicap area, even though the area was not full. It seems very "NOT family friendly" to me. I would maybe have understood if they did not have enough seating, but I assure you they did. There just needs to be some common sense exercised and there wasn't. There was not even kindness about it. Additionally, we and several other families of players like to stay in the stadium until the coaches finish talking to the players after the game. That is not an uncommon practice. What is not common is being thrown out of the stadium immediately after the game so we can't wait for the players. Another reason I like to wait is so that I can help my elderly mother navigate the stairs without hindering foot traffic. But not here, they told us we had to go and go right then. Once again, no kindness or compassion. RISD, you can do better, and should want to be better. Review #2149

    Everything you need to know about the school: the school has ongoing difficulties hiring qualified…read moreteachers, which is a critical concern. The math teacher and the IB coordinator resigned last March, and as of December, no permanent replacements have been appointed. The teacher currently covering these responsibilities reportedly has no prior IB experience. Assigning teachers without confirmed IB background to senior-level classes raises serious concerns about the quality and continuity of instruction. The chemistry teacher taught online for half a year because the school was unable to secure a visa. Another teacher was hired in the middle of the year; however, the school has not provided any information regarding her IB experience or certification. This lack of transparency makes it difficult for parents to assess whether IB standards are being met. The school's salary and benefits package appears to be uncompetitive within the local market, which may explain the hiring challenges. At the same time, the school continues to allocate funds to cosmetic updates such as repainting facilities and redesigning the website through third-party contractors. This raises reasonable questions about budget priorities. Overall, student academic outcomes do not appear to be the school's primary focus. Additionally, it is publicly known that the director's wife works in UX design; beyond this, the rationale for the recent urgency to redesign the school's website remains unclear.

Imagine a world where in highschool the honors class is the entire highschool, 9th graders present the College Board "AP French" exam and every single 9th grader gets a solid 5 (max AP grade). Imagine a place where AP courses and IB (International Baccalaureate) or FB (French Baccalaureate) diplomas are not mutually exclusive and, 1370 SAT and 30 ACT scores are the average. Sounds like a familiar place? If it does not then you should consider DIS for your kids.
