Their academic and religious standards are high. We are very satisfied with how 'hands-on' every teacher and staff are with their respective duties. Particularly the teachers who knows and loves their craft.

This is a great, no-frills academically oriented parish school. A high degree of parental involvement and responsibility is required. This school is highly integrated in the local community with many 2nd and probably 3rd generation students. The students themselves form very close, lasting friendships. I'm very pleased academically. Objective tests show that children are consistently performing at a high level. The Catholic education is excellent and the students develop a stong moral sense. It shows in many ways and the students overall graduate well developed as well as well educated.

I am very satisfied with the academic programs available at St. Mary's. Parents are required to be very involved with the school giving time and money to help keep St. Mary's students on top.

I am pretty happy with the school. Although it is not a school for every child it was great for mine. I do recommend you start child in the lower grades to get the benefit of the academics. Which I may add is far from easy. Maybe a little more fun time should be added and more inspiration and encouragment too. Escpecially to the upper grades. But all in all it is a high quality school.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
