My daughter is in the 7th grade and she has really thrived. Her teachers are very helpful and caring. St. Polycarp offers the "Homework Club" and this free program has helped her alot academically especially in math. The teacher and faculty are loving and kind. The accelerated reading program is amazing my daughter's vocabulary and reading comprehension has gone up alot. St. Polycarp is a wonderful school and I hope parents consider this school when selecting a school for their child.
My opinion about Saint Polycarp School, is really simple. It's the best School. Why? Well because my kids can get quality education, catholic values and a family environment. The Principal Mrs. Teresa Wyles, it's a terrific person, always willing to help and solve anything!! I have my 2 kids in Saint Polycarp, and next year my preschooler will come. And I am thrilled about that... Even with the economic hardship, catholic school would be the last thing I would think of "cutting off" in the case I had to make that decition.
My child and I are a new family to St. Polycarp and I could not be happier with the education my child is receiving. The teachers and staff are excellent and loving with all students.The principal is an angel sent from heaven St. Polycarp is blessed to have such an amazing, loving and caring person guiding our children. I highly recommend St. Ploycarp, I look forward to many more years with St. Polycarp.
My child started Kindergarten this year at St. Polycarp. My husband and I knew we didn't want to have our son attend public school and researched Catholic schools. We could not be more happier. We feel he is not only receiving the best education but he is also learning to be a compassionate person. The communication between the principal, teachers and staff with us is phenomenal. Being that we both work we thought it would be difficult to be involved and know what is going on, not the case. We are kept well informed with our son's class work, behavior as well as all of the activities that go on. St. Polycarp has so much to offer. We highly recommend this school and plan on sending our other children to St. Polycarp as well.
My two nieces attend to this wonderful school, and honestly you can see the difference from other schools' education. They really focus on values and good behavior. I really recommend this school for your children.
This is the third year my child has attended St. Polycarp School and I could not be more happier. The teachers and staff really care about the students. The principal is so kind, she greets the kids every morning. The education is great! I l really like the accerated reading and math program. I truly appreciate the effort the teachers are putting into the homework club after school. This program has greatly helped my child reach her academic goals. I love dropping my child off to school knowing she is in a safe Christ filled enviroment.
We are new to this school, our child is in Kindergarten, so as Im sure it is for all parents, it was a little intimidating sending our first child to a new school....we could NOT have felt more welcomed! This school is truly like one big family. The communication between the faculty and the parents is amazing, we are confident that our daughter is getting the best education as possible, both educationally and spiritually. We can tell that the teachers LOVE what they do and it shows through the childrens improvement. We are so happy that our daughter will grow up in this environment. We highly recommend this school!
This school truly is a GEM. I could not be hapier to have my children at this school. It is a home away from home. The staff and faculty at St. Polycarp truly care for our children. They have rules that each and every student is expected to follow. The rules apply to everyone. I really like the dicipline here. I came from a school where there was no consistency to the rules. The parents ran the school. Here you know the rules and you follow them. My children have learned how to be good citizens, that care about others. I love being on campus and sharing in their education by volunteering and helping when I can. You really have to come see for yourself what St. Polycarp is all about. The principal always has an open door so stop by and check it out.
WOW! another year is over and it makes me sad that my son and myself won't be seeing some of our school family for the summer. Again another great school year. I could not have asked for a better teacher, principal and school staff. They have made school fun and have offered another great educational year. Can't wait to see how much my son will learn next year. YOU SHOULD COME CHECK OUT GREAT SCHOOL. GIVE YOUR CHILD A CHANCE AT A GREAT EDUCATION.
So many GOOD reviews and YES they are all true!!! Just stepping on to our campus you feel warmth, compassion and a genuine sense of family starting from the Principal, Staff and Teachers. What a great place for my child to grow spiritually and receive an excellent education!!
