I have 5 kids that have been or have graduated from st.marys. I find the teachers to be above average in every way. Their compassion and patience is wonderful!!! If a child wants to learn, these teachers will go above and beyond to teach them.

My son is in Kindergarten at St. Marys. The school provides a safe, caring environment for students to learn in. Kindergarten is an all day program which not only goes above and beyond the basics, my som has gym class (2x week), art, Spanish, music, library and computer class. We are loving the committment of the staff and the progress our Kindergartner is making! All children should be able to receive this wonderful education.

2 of my children attended St. Mary's for 3 years. We had to transfer for a job this year but thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The parents and staff are great and the principal (who retired last year) was fantastic (not to mention, the reason we first chose this school). The students are loved and cared for physically, emotionally, spiritually and educationally (if that's a word!). We will miss them all very much. Any child would be privileged to attend this school.

We love St. Mary's, St. Clair! St. Mary's provides a great education in a warm, loving, Catholic environment. The school offers a lot of parent involvement. The teachers and principal work with parents as a team to provide the best experience for your child.

My children's educational foundation was laid at St. Mary's Catholic School in St. Clair. The rigorous training in a caring atmosphere prepared them for high school. Both of my children graduated from high school with honors. I am very happy that they started their education at St. Mary's Catholic School in St. Clair

Small class size, can work easily with staff and administration to meet the learning needs of your child. Family atmoshere. Educating the whole child...spiritually, academically, morally. This school holds your child to a higher standard across the board! Graduates go on to do VERY well in high school. You frequently hear about how stong St. Mary's grads' organization skills and study habits are. We are so happy our children are at St. Mary's School.

St. Mary's keeps up with the ever changing curriculums of the public schools.The small size classes means more individual help for students.My children have learned a lot about leadership roles at this school.

About the tests


In 2012-2013 Michigan used the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in math, reading and writing; in grades 5 and 8 in science; and in grades 6 and 9 in social studies. The MEAP is a standards-based test, which measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Michigan. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.

Beginning in the 2011-2012 school year, the Michigan State Board of Education implemented new definitions of what it means to be proficient on the MEAP test. The new standards for proficiency are higher than in previous years and the percent of students earning a proficient score is expected to be lower as a result of this change.
