St. Mary of the Assumption School

I was a student here for 9 years. From kindergarten to eighth grade, St.Mary's was like a family. The teachers really cared about the student's well-being and the education was advanced. Coming out of this school, I entered into a higher level math class than other high school peers. This school really allowed good values and morals to be instilled in students. I may be in college now, but i will never forget my elementary school experience.

St Mary of the Assumption School is a Great School, I have two, soon to be three children there, and could not be happier. First and foremost my kids love the school.The leadership is very strong with lots of help from parents. Mrs. Schroeder the first grade teacher has got to be one of the best teachers in the United States, her care, concern, and work ethic for the children, is absolutely the best I've ever seen from a teacher, and it's so important to have that type of teacher for young kids early in their education.

I am a strong believer in 'it takes a village to raise a child. St. Mary of The Assumption has a great Principal and village of teachers that have been very instrumental in raising my children to the next level.

My child has been at St. Mary's going on 3 years. My son has benefited from the education he is receiving. While to class sizes are larger compared to the public schools, I believe he is getting a much better education and is being challenged academically. Some of the teachers make use of the schoolnotes web site, which is terrific (as a parent you know what homework to expect). I wish all teachers made use of the site. The school is family oriented; students are polite and well behaved. The principal and vice principal are wonderful! The principal loves to brag about the students accomplishments at the HSA meetings and at other meetings he attends. Compared to other private schools in the area that charge an arm and a leg, St. Mary's is ideal.

My child has been at St. Mary's going on 5 years now and I am blessed to have found the school. I like the fact that the school is small and that my child is not merely a number. Compared to other Christian schools in the area that charge an arm and a leg and give so much homework that the parents end up doing the majority of it, St. Mary's is ideal.

St Mary's has been a blessing to the education of my son. He was originally enrolled in a program with another Catholic School, but needed to challenge. The change has been great. His grades may be a little lower, but he is now being academically challenged. As far as diversity, most of the teachers and staff have been there for several years. I prefer the low turnover of faculty and staff, as oppose to staff changes to work on diversity. I believe the low turnover ratio has provided the school with a better environment. He gets the diversity from other activities.

St. Mary s school offers a comprehensive content based curriculum. They provide instruction in all of the content areas. While they seemingly strive to offer a rich variety, diversity among staff members is virtually non-existent. Currently, there is only one person of color on the instructional staff. Perhaps the school could benefit from recruiting and retaining a more diverse population of staff members and students. Attracting people of color is not a priority.

Well, I have had 3 student attend St. Mary from K to 8. Overall it is a good school, but has gone down drastically. The principal is a nice person, caring, but not qualified to be principle. The school is family oriented, students are polite, well behaved. The school needs to advance more into the children's education. There is a lack of respect for the student in the upper grades, which at times brings out the worst in the students. I think it could be one of the best schools if the leadership was different and if the teachers had more training in how to deal with the middle school age students. The best thing i can suggest is to be involved constantly with the school.
