This is one of the best highschools you could ever attend! I attended here from 1994-1997 and I can…read morehonestly say it was four of the BEST years of my life! The faculty and staff are absolutely amazing and still to this day are! Best teachers I've ever had. Even better than the college professors I had in the years that followed highschool! The school is huge- made up of three floors (technically four floors but the top floor isn't used for classes- back when I attended it was used for religious events the school would have.) The school has a huge library, cafeteria, gymnasium, and even has a nicely sized chapel inside! Also- the building is immaculate. Always freshly painted looking, bathrooms are always kept clean, hallways and property out front are always clear of debris and garbage. The school also has a parking lot for students- which when you live in Astoria is just always rare to find a parking spot - so a parking lot is a blessing lol SJP always has events going on- from school concerts, plays, faculty and student games/events, religious getaways, ski trips, and trips to other countries even! The students are constantly interacting with each other. I made some of the best friends while at this school- some of which to this day- 20 years later- are still the best of my friends! As far as the classes go- you never get bored with choices- from band class, home economics, forensic science, creative writing, and many more! Also- the after school activities are endless! Sports, music, academic, culture clubs, you name it. Now- the tuition is pricey- but you get what you pay for, and you cannot top the education you'll get here! Don't be discouraged- it's worth the money. Every dime. I just recently had my 20 year reunion here - and it was a blast! Just as the 10 year one was! I'll keep coming back every time we are due for one! Well- I have endless stories and so many more awesome things I can talk about when it comes to this school, but I have to end my review already lol Next time there is an open house for this school- please go check it out for yourself or your kids. You won't be sorry! To this day- I still go back and visit some of my old teachers- who are now people I call- my friends.

In 1984, when I started SJP, I was so excited. I had a great 4 years and I met some wonderful…read morepeople. When my son started SJP in 2017, I was so thrilled for him. He was a legacy after all. My mother-in-law was in the first graduating class. My husband, my sister-in-law, my son's godmother, my cousins, and some of my best friends went there. Alumni wasn't just a word to me. My son is a 16 year old boy. No excuses, but they make mistakes. In early October, I reached out to the school to ask for help with my son, my growing teen. The advice I was given was get outside help. That was it. So I followed the advice. SJP didn't follow up us. SJP didn't help my son in his time of need. SJP didn't touch base with him regularly. SJP didn't reach out to me to be a team, as a school and a family should be. Now they've turned their back on him. I'm so disgusted. I'm so upset. My family would do anything for anyone. We are members of the community that try to always do what's best. Instead of working with us, alumni of the school, instead of trying to work with my son, a child that had two and a half years in their school, their answer was we won't help you. Their answer was we don't have the resources to help. If you chose to lead teenagers in today's society, then you need the resources to do just that. My son isn't a bad kid. My son needed help and instead of helping they made things worse. I can't tell you the loss I feel in my heart for SJP.

We have been part of the community for over 3 years now. It has been a very nurturing and…read moresupportive environment for our two children. We take joy in seeing them assert their independence as they distinctly acquire new skills. WMS really fosters strong emotional intelligence and sense of healthy boundaries and enthusiasm towards self-directed learning. I find that the school is always looking for ways to improve and seeking active participation and engagement from parents. We also love the warmth of the physical space and it being located by lots of great public patches for the kids to spend their outdoor time. Staff & admin really work from their hearts and always feel accessible.

It also goes by the name " Success Academy" . They have done such a great job on the rennovations. The parking lot is re - paved . The lawn looks great. Just about everything is brand new inside and out . There is a church on the left side of the school where mass is held morning , afternoon, and night . Theres a small parking lot, but depending in when you go, you shouldn't have a problem finding any . When dropping off the children, parents use the back entrance which can be a problem because there isn't enough space to park on the residents block. So you might want to park and walk a little. The staff are helpful, the teachers are often seen after school still interacting with students and parents.

Saint Agnes Academic School gave me skills for life. I wish I could have loved it more, but I was…read morevery sick the whole time I was there. I found it to be a progressive school, a leader. However, as an adult looking back, I wish I had taken art classes and home economics classes, not only math, science, language classes, etc. I go back for reunions and homecoming.

The recent changes have put the school more on the map, so to say, but there is always room for improvement. My own experience there is that, while I am glad my mother chose that school, I feel my full potential was not reached as the school picks who they want to prosper as soon as freshman year and offers them first pick of great opportunities and tosses the remaining to the rest of the students when rejected by the chosen few. Overall the education is good, the school partners with St. John's to offer college credits that can be useful in the future. It is the social environment of the school that could use improvement.

It is a beautiful church that decided red brick walls was the way to go inside.... not the biggest fan of that but it still looks ok. The alter is gorgeous though!!! I did my baptism here, so did my brother a few years later. He just had his kid baptized here recently as well. They have a nice organ in the loft! And every time I go, the organist always does a beautiful job!!! I also had both my grandparents funerals here, and my older brother said the mass here. They were very accommodating to have him do that! The parking lot is around the back, with no really easy way to get in if you are handicapped unless you go all the way around... All in all a nice church with nice staff!

Greetings Fellow Yelpers!…read more Since my last review of The Mary Louis Academy (TMLA), I have been personally visited by faculty members of the school on more than one occasion and although I do not appreciate how I was spoken to, I no longer hold so much anger for the events I experienced. Surely things have improved, so it's time for a friendly update! (If my visitors are reading this, no...you didn't scare or intimidate me... I'm just not angry anymore.) My own experience at TMLA was negative and humiliating. But I cannot imagine that the issues that were present years ago could continue to slip by unnoticed. Although my time at The Academy did not benefit me, there are many others who did find it helpful. Eventful and informative open houses are held at least once a year and visiting parents and students have a chance to speak with EVERYONE. My advice is to pay very close attention and to simply ask the right questions. Wishing students, parents and faculty the very best! Good Luck!
