This is what any school should be. Great teachers and lovely Principal. Children are like family to eachother. Sure the school talks about money but that doesn't go above their love of teaching. School keeps parents informed. Education level & knowledge are way high.

I think the school's main focus is money, then discipline, then teaching. They've got their priorities all wrong. I hate this school. Everytime I look they want money for something. I even pay tuition for the summer months that she isn't even in school. This school has no regard for families for struggle to give their children a good education. Parents are getting ripped off here. I have done alot of research on other parochial schools, and have come to the conclusion that there are much better schools, well worth your money. Personally, I don't see how my daughter moved on to the fourth grade, because I know she is not ready for it. I practically have to teach her everything that was 'taught' throughout the day, because she simply doesn't understand and is not confident about her work. Please don't send your child here. It's definitely not a good school.

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.

Oops! We currently do not have any student information for this school. We rely on the state Department of Education, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), and in some cases school administrators such as registrars and principals for this data.
