St. Mary's School

The teachers are always willing to reach out to each and every student. We have a full time Resource Room Teacher, who is there to educate students who need extra help in any subject. All of my children have experienced 2nd Grade and it was an exceptional experience for them. Two of our children received additional help, which was recommended by the 2nd Grade teacher. She came to us and gave advise on how to proceed and ensure that our children receive the best education. We ve been a part of St. Mary s School for 8 years. If there is a want or a need, it will be resolved. We have generous parents, teachers, and Parish who are willing to back up our school. St. Mary s School and Church are a wonderful faith filled campus. We are truly blessed to be a part of such a great environment.

St. Mary's School is such a wonderful acedemic, and faith based school. All of my children feel so safe an loved here, and that is so important to me. Their faith grows everyday and the friendships that they make are life long. I have always been able to talk with staff freely. They have proven time and time again that they are here to help every child succeed. The parents who volunteer are fantastic. I love to know that if one of my children is hurt, need's help, or just need's a smile or hug, can turn to any of them and get that! But, I can honestly say that beyond the acedemic's and faith, St. Mary's children learn how to be good people. Service projects are something the students are very involved with. Honest, caring, and considerate students is what you find at St. Mary's!!

We found St. Mary's to be an excellent school. Our children have been given a Catholic education that inspires students to excel in learning, leadership, and service. The alumni of St. Mary's School are attending outstanding selective colleges and universities. To name a few, the Air Force Academy,Notre Dame and the University of Michigan. We have faith in St. Mary's School. As a parent volunteer, I have witnessed the great caring and concern shown to all students by the teachers and staff. The playground is also well supervised by experienced volunteers. I encourage anyone in the tri-cities area to take a closer look at St. Mary's School.

The well meaning staff is losing many children due to overburdened teachers and shrinking budget. They are not equiped to handle special needs children and the rest of the students suffer. Most have been there greater than 15y, I believe they are tired, and going threw the motions. My wife and I wanted our children to have an education with faith based guidance, but we want them to be able to move forward without having to go to Sylvan Learning to make up for problems not addressed in class. My 2nd grader finally got tested after 6 months of pleading. My 4th grader is required to memorize random poems or he will not get to go out for recess. The playground is a huge problem, not enough parents involved on a daily basis to help take care of their children. I hope the incomming principal will get things on track.
