My daughter attends Holy Angels. She looks forward to going to school everyday. Her teachers have been topnotch and genuinely care about her progress. She is surrounded by a safe, supportive, and Christian school community. We couldn't be happier with our choice of Holy Angels!
I have two children attending Holy Angels and I'm very pleased with the academic, extra curricular, and religious programs offered. The teachers are excellent and the community is so wonderful. Parent involvement is exceptional.
First rate caring group of long term professionals run this school. I have two children who actually look forward to going to school. Thanks!
When I was a student here I absolutely loved it. I now have siblings who attend H.A. and things have changed quite a bit. The overall atmosphere doesn't seem to have the loving feeling it once had. I agree that H.A. has not chosen the best principals (the last 3, including this one) but the academics and sports are some of the best in this area. I would have to say that Holy Angels does not have the best programs for children who need extra help in subjects or kids who have ADD or ADHD. The level of parent involvement at the school is unbelievable.
The school had issues a year or so ago like all schools do. The new principal has turned everything around and can be applauded for his hard work and friendly approach to what has been a difficult task. My three children have excelled and my oldest is now on the distinguished honor roll at Marmion Academy with a GPA of 4.3. Basic prinicples taught at HA put him on the right path.
The school has improved and the atmosphere is very positive. Great staff, great involvement by parents!
We have a good and funny new principal now we really like Holy Angels.
A new year, a new principal, and some new teachers. This is a very solid educational environment that has the added benefit of being a wholly orthodox Catholic school. Here the truth of the Catholic Faith is not watered down. The job of a school is to equip children to succeed in life. A Catholic school must do this but more importantly must prepare children for the next life. My children are getting a great education from loving, dedicated teachers, and they're getting it in an environment that reinforces the faith we try to impart to them. Parent involvement is great, sports and other extra curricular opportunities abound. I couldn't ask for more.
We have had our children there since preschool (now going on 6 yrs) and have seen many changes, good and bad. My son has ADHD and often the experience isn't there in dealing with such learning problems. New teachers coming in tend to need the school year to 'get accustomed' to the cirruculum and atmosphere and cannot properly spend time addressing the needs of the children. Being told 'I'm not sure' or 'I don't what to do to help your child' does not make me feel secure in my decision to keep them there. I too would like to have backgrounds on teachers and would definitely like to be in the know regarding the reasons behind constant staff changes, as it is our personal dollars paying for our childrens' educations. If such issues were addressed with parents, then there would not be 'rumor mills' for which we parents get reprimanded.
Academically, the school doesn't offer enough to stimulate the learning environment. And I don't see open door policy in the school. The school probably has that policy but not really encourage the parents to use it. And as a parent, I never got a complete professional background of every teacher and staff. I really expect the school is not only good religiously but academically, too. The students are not become too rigid, stiff, afraid because of that. I just think the school doesn't offer enough in term of academically and curriculum wise for the student.
