All Sts. School

All Saints School should be recognized for all their effort in helping the children achieve academically. From the adminstrators, teachers, parents, students and community members, there is a collaborative approach that can be seen as soon as one enters the building. The children are achieving academically and are being prepared to compete with their academic counterparts. I am a parent of two children at All Saints and I am very pleased how they are maturing socially and academically. I thank All Saints family for being a positive instrument in my children's education.

All Saint's School is the finest institution for young people that I have ever been associated with, and they deserve to be recognized for the wonderful work that do on behalf of each student.

Unfortunately, the new principal who started for the 2007-2008 is cleaning up house from the previous years of neglect. It is true the curriculum is in need of a major uhaul. The text books are old and sometimes students have to share books. Some grades were oversized and teachers did not have assistants especially for the lower grades. The school does not have a gym and the gym teacher was the computer teacher. Staff were stretched into many roles. My personal opionion is the school has a chance of improving with the new principal, but a parent needs to monitor the progress closely. I would not send my child here for middle school because of the limited resources available to an older child, i.e, clubs, gym, science, music and computer.

My children attended Catholic school since kindergarten, last semester the transfered to All Saints and it was the worst experience. My children cried on a daily basis not to go back to their original school. The kids are bullied and there is not disciplinary action except the threat of suspension. Some of the teachers are friends with the parents so they look the other way. It's like sending your kids to public school. This school does not have adequate text or workbooks. Most of the reading assignments are copied from the teachers books and the quality is poor. Phys Ed consist of the kids playing and there isn't a music program. My children did enjoy the computer class. Afterschool was unsupervised with the exception of the teacher looking up from her papers occasionally. This school is not worth any amount of money and my children will not attend next semester.

My son has attended pre-K for two years. He has learned a lot and excelled in reading and math. I like the christian values of the school and he loves it. However, last year was the first year with a new principal and the new scholarship opportunities. There were a lot of glitches. I am not happy with the large class size, the lack of teacher support, minimum art, no real gym or recess, no outside activities, minimal science, no music or extracurricular activites, etc. The afterschool program is supposed to improve significantly this year, so I am looking forward to seeing how much. I am bringing my son back because of the teachers and the quality education.

Originally I had two daughters attends ASC, however, the oldest graduated and moved on to Mother Cabrini. The school has since installed a new prinicipal and some staff and I am not happy. My daughter's education seems to have dropped dramatically, the classes are oversized- similar to public schools in the area, and there seems to be a lack of discipline. I also agree with the parent who stated that there is a fundraiser every month, in addition, to the make money schemes, ie pay for dress down, holiday purchaes in the lunch room, and the vending machine that was recently removed...I am looking for other schools in the area for her next year since I am not satisfied with the level of education.

My daughter is 5 yrs old and has been attending All saints for two years. I am very happy with everything that she has learned in those two years. Reading, Math and science the only thing that I am not happy with is the fact the lack a gym, art and music program. The principal is very involved and knows all of the children.

Overall, the school is a good school. The only problem is the classes are somewhat large.

Quality of acedemic programs are excellent, with availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities. Parent involvement is quite welcomed and encouraged.
