From the top down, this was the most mismanaged school, I've ever encountered. I enrolled my child, because it was the closest school with space and I moved to the area over X-mas break. It was a need. The K to 2nd grade teachers, especially Ms. Vail, were great and really seemed dedicated to their jobs. But everyone else was miserable, from the priest and principal right down, and they are the ones who set the tone. They sacrificed 90% of what they told you they stood for, for money. And even then you didn't get what you paid for, they were so jaded they didn't even let the kids use the library, nevermind spanish and music. I almost had to stage a walkout, when the 3rd grade teacher decided to take her maternity leave 3 months early and they had no back up plan. But they gladly took tuition.

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.
