St. Dorothy Elementary School

St. Dorothy School is top notch . The proof is when their graduates go on to high school and excel. The school has caring staff that will challenge and motivate the student. It's not easy to get an A at St. Dorothy School but when you do it means something. It is a bargain for the education the school offers.

I would say this was the worst school my kids had ever been too. The principle is very set in her way. Blames everything on the parents. Half of the teachers have poor teaching skills!

Posted today Report it We love it here! Mrs. Burke is an awesome principal, you need strong leadership to run a school, and she has it. She is tough when she needs to be but she also has a great interaction with the student body, she is well respected by all. You can tell that she really loves what she does it is not only a job to her. My daughter has been here for 6 years now. The academics are great, she is always being challenged. For the most part the student body is well behaved, in the time we have been here I have not experienced or seen any kind of altercations between kids. As I mentioned before it has to do with the leadership, Mrs. Burke does not tolerate that kind of behavior. The school stresses respect for yourself and others. I am so happy to have found this school, it is everything I expect in a Catholic School, Saint Dorothy's is an amazing school.

I love the "family" environment of the St. Dorothy. Since it is K-8th, my children really get to grow up in this school surrounded by great teachers and a nurturing environment. Parents are always helping out. It's a true community. I also love the Prayer Partners program St. Dorothy has. Every grade is paired up (except 4th). It encourages the family environment. There is someone to look up to and someone to be responsible for.

My son is a kindergarten student at St. Dorothy. He is thriving and learning so much. He is extremely happy and loves school and his teachers. My husband and I like their structure and curriculum and we are amazed at how much our son has learned two-thirds of the way through the school year. Academically, the school is very solid. The teachers make sure that the children succeed and always keep the parents informed on the academic and personal growth of the children. St. Dorothy is a great school!

St. Dorothy School has it all: fine academics, great sports, and fun extracurricular things! The curriculum is broad and the teachers are engaging. We have a teacher, an aide, and smart boards in every grade. We also have satellite classes like Music, Spanish, and Computer Learning Center. St. Dorothy School competes against other Catholic schools in sports like flag football, softball, soccer, basketball, track, and volleyball. In extracurricular things, there is Student Council, Safety Committee, choir, art classes, and more. We are always doing things through the year, like Red Ribbon Week, Catholic Schools Week, Earth Day, the Halloween Carnival, recycling, and more. We also have Flag Salute and attend Mass, where upper grades pair with lower grades, helping younger kids learn to behave at Mass and older kids learn to be good examples. We also urge involvement in fundraising and volunteering, teaching us to be caring people who help the needy. We help with Holy Childhood, Mary s Mercy Center, Adopt-a-Family, and lots more. There is never a time when your child won t feel included and busy, and they will be armed with knowledge, faith, responsibility, and respect. Go Bruins!
