I wish there were more places to leave a review because I'd happily leave a five-star review on every platform. Thank you to everyone at the school for all that you do for our kids!

Its my son's second year in this school. To say I'm impress does no justice with how I feel towards…read morethe school, the staff, the community and more then anything the teachers. I've had nothing but great experiences and truly feel the support from my son teachers but also the principle. When my son was in kindergarten he had to have ankle surgeries, I wasn't scared, I was terrified; millions of questions in my head, will my son fall behind? will he be bullied? can he keep up? Ms.Waldron my son's kindergarten teacher took the time to find out everything about the surgeries, offer to visit my son while he was off to teach him what he will miss and when it was time to return to school We found out she had search everywhere till she could borrow a wheelchair and a little wagon to push my son in the classroom and the students will take turns taking him places and always making him feel equal; even till this day I get tears of joy. My son finished kindergarten advance in math and a fluent reader. My oldest son did not start reading till he almost finish first grade and I never had any connections with his teachers but only the mandatory basics. The teacher wasn't just an amazing human and kind woman but she is an outstanding well qualified teacher whom I can't wait for my youngest to be her student as well. It's horrible that some individuals can express so poorly about something they know nothing about.... Ignorance at its fullest.

This school sucks even the school policy's are soo bad. R

This school was never very special to me. The only reason I tried was because of the praise I was…read moregiven which eventually lead me to having a complex. Always telling me that because we learned a year ahead we were special. I never really learned until I left the reality of high school. It's so different from what I was prepared for, and I was never taught about it, so I was terrified. Even though I was never harassed in this school I always felt left out. No one really talked to me and that's kinda because the thought of grades always stuck to me and left me pretty anti-social. I was in gifted and was proud but now I'm just a burned out mess full of anxiety about little things because I was taught grades were worth more than my mental health. I'm mentally not stable anymore and people I know are the same. I'm ashamed that this school is the only thing I could ever have on my resume when I eventually get any job because I was just too focused on trying to put in so much effort that I didn't have time for anything else. Truth is, all that stress and effort got me B's at best, which made me feel absolutely useless. The lessons weren't even entertaining and I always felt like I was doing the same thing over and over again. Like a repeating process that I got sick off and wanted to leave from. This school never really stuck to me as "wow, this is a good school." It's like "oh, this is what screwed me up." Y'know? The fact that we had to wear uniforms is understandable but if I didn't have it I would get in trouble. We had to pay for wearing normal clothes as if it was a privilege and most of the time I couldn't afford it because my parents were BROKE. The only reason I got in at a young age was because of someone I knew and it's not something I'm proud of. I just don't like being put on a pedestal and gain all this pressure because of one school I went to. The only reason I got an A in my math class was because the teacher was chill about everything which made the kids go to havoc, making me feel like the only stable thing in there. You can look at Phuq's post for more things that happened in their time of going there, since I didn't have many memorable things when I went there. Kachow

My child went on to a competitive middle school (PCDS) since she had the hand in denying him admission and has now completed his semester freshmen year at PRINCETON with all A's. My neighbors kid was a member of the church and her student was denied for kindergarten because he couldn't draw a complete circle! SERIOUSLY! he is now a sophomore at BROPHY! How the diocese allows this school to deny their own based on one person's opinion is scary. So parents do not be discouraged if your child is denied admission here since they are "selective". Your child will be okay.

Then around 6th grade the schools then principle died from cancer and Ms. Elliot took over in her place as the new principle after that the school went from a fun learning environment to a horrid lockdown strict hellhole. After Ms. Elliot came into power, they locked the gates and installed new ones; this gave me a very unsafe insecure feeling as they basically locked us in. They installed secretary camera's everywhere. They also took down the old playground equipment and installed newer "safer" equipment which basically sucked. Then they changed the way they release students to school making a "drop off lane" it was horrid and I had to wait 30+ mins in the hot sun for my mom to drive through the line to pick me up. Before the lane it took me 3 mins to walk to my mom's car and leave. They outsourced the lunch food to a horrid company that made the worst garbage not fit for human consumption. Even though the school upgraded the playground, cameras and the Jail gates, they never upgraded the classrooms, cafeteria, buildings and "blacktop". They said they would get rid of the nasty portable buildings by 2004 but here they are, in 2009 still standing! In fact they built way more crappy portable buildings where the old playground used to be! There are many things the school promised to renovate but they never got to it the management is generally lazy. As far as academics, the classes are harder then any of the classes I've experienced at Brophy College prep, they push grade-schoolers extremely hard I had about 2-4hrs of homework every night. They teach algebra and chemistry at the college level in GRADESCHOOL! 2-4 page research papers were common assignments for various classes each week in 7-8th grade. They always told us it had to be formatted in Perfect MLA format for high school, truth is Brophy's workload was WAY MORE LIENENT and less then SFX ever was.
