Resurrection School

We have been part of Resurrection School for 7 years now and our children have an amazing environment to flourish and grow up in. We have a new Principal this year who has set the tone for the children and faculty to provide strong academics in a peace oriented environment. The parent community is very strong and supportive of each child being able to achieve their potential and welcoming all who are new. With a beautiful campus, sports teams starting in 4th grade, art, music, PE in addition to the core academic classes the children are being developed into well rounded young people. We would highly recommend Resurrection School to anyone looking for a Junior Kindergarten through 8th grade Catholic education for their children.

This is our family s 5th year at Resurrection School. We were initially attracted to the school because of its well-regarded JK program. Having been so impressed with JK, we knew we wanted our children to continue at Resurrection and benefit from everything the school has to offer. Resurrection achieves high academic standings and this is accomplished within a safe and nurturing environment. Teachers and staff truly care about the students and their families. They challenge the students to achieve their absolute best, in school and in life. Values are integrated in the classroom and on the playground every day. On top of the strong academic curriculum, P.E., music, art, Spanish, library and technology classes are integrated into every grade. The outdoor campus is another plus . There is a playground, grass fields and other play areas for kids to use at recess, lunch and during P.E. We love the sense of community created here. The families are welcoming and friendly and we know our children are making lifelong friends. If you are looking for a school where children thrive and develop into well-rounded successful young adults, Resurrection is the place.

We are in our second year at Res. Our class community is supportive, diverse and kind. We fell into a good group. The new principal, Mrs Wright is bringing wonderful values, commitment, love and vision to the campus. The kindergarten team is AWESOME. We see Res as a little jewel that is a special chapter in our lives.

It's interesting how all the "Great" reviews were written around the same time. Did all those parents try to up the rating? If it's such a great school why is enrollment down, so many families leaving, and they can't keep teachers? Unfortunately this school has gone way downhill. Don't go here until they get another new principal and competent and stable teachers. If you are looking for education, look elsewhere. On a positive note it is one of the best campuses and the children are very friendly and welcoming.

Resurrection is a terrific school with a great curriculum. The tuition is very reasonable considering the diversity of courses and technologies the students are exposed to. We could not be happier with our kids education.

Resurrection school offers an outstanding environment for our daughter to learn and excel. The teachers are excellent and are truly interested in the success of the children. We have also found the cost of tuition to be very reasonable. Money well spent! Small class sizes. Curriculum is well balanced yet challenging. Parent involvement is strong, creating a very close and friendly community. We couldn't have made a better choice!

Resurrection delivers great value for your money, but the proof is in the pudding. Our two oldest children attended Resurrection from Kindergarten through 8th grade, went on to graduate from a top-tier private high school, and are exceling at top engineering schools studying Electrical Engineering. When our two youngest children reached school age it was a no-brainer to send them to Res as well and they are now doing very well in 1st and 3rd grade. The staff at Res is great and welcomes parent involvement and input. We are particularly excited that the principal is working to establish Res as a leader at using technology to improve education.

We've been going to Resurrection School now for 4 years and are absolutely thrilled with the education our children are getting. I like how my kids are getting a solid education but also with a strong faith-based foundation to help guide them through life. This year the school has started on a technology project where the 5-8th graders will all be getting a one:one ipad program where the kids can now use technology as a catalyst for further education. I think this is an amazing opportunity for kids to have hands-on learning with technology as a supplment to the regular curriculum. As a working mom, I also really like the extended care programs and the summer school/summer camp program. My kids thrive in the environment and my husband and I have made life-long friends through our relationships with the school and parents in the community.

I would like to say that Resurrection School is the best school I have seen by far. I don't understand the comments about bullying at this school. I spend A LOT of time at this school and I have seen only positive interactions among the students on the playground and in the classrooms. I interact with all grade levels and I enjoy the students. I am always amazed by the way they help each other; especially across the grade levels. Their academics are amazing and a new parent had commented on how our curriculum is stream-lined with each new grade level. All of the teachers here are caring and dedicated. The tuition is the same if not lower than many other schools in the area; especially if you join the parish. I have heard that Resurrection recently scored in the top 10% of the nation! That is impressive.

I have had 3 children in this school for a total of 14 years. I have found the environment to be caring, loving and compassionate. The entire school lives and breaths peace. The teachers work very hard to help their students be successful. The school grounds are large, with lots of play area and grass area. I highly recommend the school!

I am a new parent at this school and it is great! So far, the teachers are very caring and the principal is focused on peace and creating a peaceful and nurturing environment for the children. I taught for seven years and I was impressed with the curiculum and how it was aligned with each grade level. Many of the students test out of general science and mathematics by the time they get to high school! I have met wonderful parents and my son is very happy here. They also have a great outreach program where they build schools for children in Africa! Very impressive.

Our children have attended Resurrection School for more than seven years, starting with JK. The experience has been a positive one for the entire family. There is a lot of homework, but our kids have thrived. It is cool to be smart at Resurrection. We have also met many good families.

This school stands for peace. The students are Peace-filled, Educationally prepared, an Adventurer for life, Community minded and Earth protectors.

Our experience has been very positive at Resurrection. The children are educated in a safe, nurturing environment, the new principal has instilled the value of peace and respect throughout the campus. There are plenty of opportunities for new families to get involved in the school and feel welcomed. Many of the graduates we know are testing into honors classes in high school. There are fundraising efforts, but almost every school has fundraising, and over the years the number of fundraisers has gotten less. What we like is the community outreach programs that teach our children to give back to the community and the values that are being taught. We feel our children are getting a very well-rounded academic and Catholic education in their formative years that they will carry with them through adulthood.

We have been there ten years it has been a great experience. Great kids, nice teachers, good academically. The after school care is wonderful. It was recommended by one of our friends. Their child went on to exceed in high school, a premier college, has gotten a great job and still talks about this great school. To me results matter. All the kids that graduate from there have loved it.

Lack of supervision and control in some of the classes. Bullying rampant in some of the classes. Acedemics way below average in some of the classes. High degree of Parent aloofness & cliques in some of the classes. Unfortunately the prevelance of the above problems, and the lack of any action to solve these problems, forced us to pull our children out of this school - the new principle is nice but has been unable to turn around these endemic problems.

My children attended this school a few years ago. For the amount of tuition they charge (one of the highest in the diocese) the education they received was mediocre, and not much better than other schools in the area. Also, there seemed to be a tolerance for bullying behavior. Even after repeated conferences with teachers and principal, my son's issues as a victim of bullying were not sufficiently addressed. We left after a year and so did a number of students and teachers. There was an elitism among parents that made newcomers feel unwelcome. They have a new principal now, so things may be different. But I still wouldn't recommend this school.
