St. Bridget School

New to the school and not impressed. Lots of bullying and it seems that certain parents are in charge not the administration. Enrolling anyone to keep the school open, instead of being selective. No one volunteers and I don't know if the school can continue without funds coming in. This is just my opinion.

We recently left an area school. After touring Parochial schools, we settled on St. Bridgets. It's large enough for my child socially, yet small enough where the entire faculty and staff all know my daughter by name. We were very impressed with the newest technologies the school has (Apple ipads and interactive white boards), along with a first class school website. The teachers, academics and extra curricular activities all exceed our expectations. We know we made the right choice for our daughter, and ourselves.

We have two children at St. Bridget school and they both love it. The teachers and principal are all very caring and approachable. The first grade teacher in particular far exceeded our expectations. We have been very happy with our experiences the last four years.

This past year my daughter was bullied several times by other students in grade 8. Nothing was done. After 8 years and pre-school, we too are leaving this school!!

St. Bridget School offers a great learning environment. The principal and staff seem to be first rate. I have to say that St. Bridget School is one of the best elementary schools and middle schools I have seen throughout my years of teaching.

St. Bridget School seems to be a great place for children to learn. My children go there and I am so impressed. They are doing very well academically. The faculty and staff are wonderful. The principal is so kind and so caring! She recently helped us through a difficult situation with our youngest recently and couldn't have handled the it better. We now have another child who absolutely loves school, as not many elementary school students do!

On Friday May 20th 2011, a student from ST Bridget engaged in a violent fight with a student from another school. This student and his parents have been involved in multiple actions that have never been disciplined by the St Bridget pastor of principle. Please!!! Do your own investigation dont make a mistake

St. Bridget has many good quality. The size of the school allows for more interaction with the faculty and staff.. If there is a concern they will listen and work with you .. The school is always improving with academics, technology, clubs & sports..

My child was in a public school in Manchester (not naming school, as I am now biased and 2 sides to every story). My husband and I decided that our child needed more structure and discipline regarding his schooling. We like Manchester as a town, so we looked at the 3 Catholic schools in town. Assumption, St Bridget and St James. They all had the basic / same curriculum. Assumption had no gym and had a " split" 2 location campus, and the kids had to go to a different building (church basement) to eat lunch. also having to walking outside to do so. St James just seemed to large with 2 classes per grade level, and seemed very impersonal. We have to say that we settled on St Bridget. It seemed to have the best fit for us as parents and our child. Decent sized classes, one campus, a gym and separate cafe, all in the same building. The teachers and staff we met at their Open House just all seemed very down to earth, and very caring. Just wanted to share our experiences with those of you having to make an important decision about your little one's education.

This school lacks smart boards, computer classes, etc.. this year a lot was cut out due to small enrollment. Maybe 12 children in a class, yet they still have students that fail. High tuition in addition to the fundraising which is $480 (1 child), $680 (2 or more children). Can't imagine what it will be next year.
