This campus / facility is outstanding. The technology in the schools, the smart classes and other brand new computer and Apple products not only expand the quality of this place but create a competitive edge in the curriculum. Visiting from a grant-writing agency I was happy to observe classrooms with exceptionally qualified teachers and very engaged students. The curriculum including dace classes, Spanish lessons, and a myriad of after-school programs and onsite counselors make this school simply wonderful. The principal has been there, from what I remember, about 20 years and her leadership and kindness were evident. As a Catholic elementary school that welcome to all peoples, the hospitality of the staff and excellent teachers along with the challenging academic programs, make this a wonderful place of learning and I'd recommend it to anyone in the area.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
