Incarnation is a great school for education and learning to be a part of a community! I really like the prayer partners (5,6,7,8 graders partnered with the lower grades) and teachers!!

Incarnation is a fantastic Catholic school that truely provides a well-rounded education. It provides students with learning opportunities that most other schools do not; such as foreign language, art, music, computers, Core Matters, and even additional enrichment programs outside of the normal school day!

This is a potentially great school ran by two of the most ignorant unprofessional supposed leaders Mrs. Maria Hawk and Father Mass. The only way you would fit in at this school without any problems is to never address them with any issues that may arise. They are non-productive in helping you come to resolve any issues that may occur. They do not hold up to the Catholic Standards of what a leader should be like. They are a digrace to this school and are draggin it down

I moved my children to Incarnation from public school in 4th and 2nd Grades. What a difference! We will never go back to Hazelgreen. This school has everything - a wonderful staff, religion, foreign language, clubs, academic standards to be proud of. I can't say enough nice things about this school other than we (our whole family) feel like "we're home". If you're thinking of making the switch - you won't be sorry. Everyone, from the students to the entire staff, went out of their way to make my kids feel welcome.

We have three children at Incarnation School-we admire the Catholic atmosphere and Christian values that are present throughtout the day. We are also impressed with the use of technology-there are smartboards in every classroom and the computer lab is in constant use. Besides being caring, the teachers are sincerely interested in finding ways to reach each student's full potential. There is also a very active Mothers' Club who supports the school which helps keep the cost of tuition down for all of us.

Both my children are excelling. My youngest is in the best preschool ever! I love the fact that our principal and pastor are always thinking about continuous improvement to what is already a great school!

I love Incarnation because the teachers are very good to the students, they go above and beyond to give them all the things they will need in the future. My grandsons are getting a good education, and are learning to be good people.

My 3 sons attended Incarnation School, and we are very pleased with the personal education they received. I am proud to say that I now teach at Incarnation and I believe we continue to personalize the education given to each student.

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.
