I am so glad my child goes to Holy Angels. It is a faith filled environment. The new principal is wonderful. She is doing more in a few months than the other principal did in 3 years,
I attended Holy Angels from Kindergarten all the way through eighth grade, and am currently a sophomore at St. John the Baptist. I still distinctively remember my eighth grade year as a time of anxiety, looking forward to the next four years of high school. However, as the final days at Holy Angels drew near, I wanted nothing more than to stay. Holy Angels has excellent, challenging teachers who teach their students to think outside the box, and yes, the teachers do care about their students. The teachers there helped both myself and my fellow classmates prepare for the high school entrance exam (I received over $7000 worth of scholarship money, and my class of 39 kids was awarded more than $37,000) as well as the New York State Tests. The staff is very religious, and helped me get an early start on my love for religion. However, one of the defining highlights of Holy Angels is the family-like bond that occurs between the classes. After attending school with the same 39 people, I felt like I lost a part of my family. There's just too many positive aspects that I can't fit it in one post....send your kid to Holy Angels. It's an amazing school.
Holy Angels is an excellent school. The teachers are very dedicated and help the child to reach his or her own potential. Many parents were unhappy with the principal that we had after Sr. Elise. However, the new principal is full of enthusiasm and truly works to make the school top notch. I can not understand parents stating that their aren't opportunities for parent involvement because there are plenty of opportunities. It also amazes me that a parent would state that the teachers don't care whether or not the child learns. I find the contrary to be true. My child's third grade teacher still e-mails me and gives suggestions for helping my daughter with reading. I have taught in public school, and I can tell you firsthand that the education provided at Holy Angels is far superior.The education is more than academics. The children live their faith every day; it is central to everything that they do, and it should be. I love Holy Angels- from the secretary who is so sweet and helpful, to the principal who strives for more, to the teachers who want the most for their students, to the family that you become a part of. I would definitely recommend Holy Angels.
The new principal has not improved the school. Under her guidance, the students have been overloaded with extra prayers and overwhelmed by rambling and confusing lectures about Jesus and the saints. The school needs to go back to what it did before this year: helping students become well-educated people who strive to live as Jesus lived.
I am so pleased with the growth i have witnessed in my child both academically and spritually. He has grown in a nurturing and safe environment and has been challenged to excel. i would highly recommend this school
I sent my son to this school for 4 years. Now that he is in HS, he doesn't have the tools he should have been taught. There is no parent involement. They will never admit when something is wrong. The new princple is a joke. She tries to smooth talk you instead of doing what is necessary. The teachers don't really seem to care if a child is learning or not, they just teach. Who cares what the kids are getting out of it. I regret ever sending my son to this school.
Very disappointed. Open favoritism all around. Some of the teachers should not be allowed to teach. The principal is not interested in child's welfare. Money talks.
One cannot be specific when giving a comment due the fact that people would be able to guess who the comment came from. I loved this school under the old principal. I felt she was fair, knew each child personally and was always there for meetings etc. The new principal leaves by 4pm daily, is not fair and I have heard her shouting at the children. I find her not approachable at all. I have recommended this school in the past to many people but will not do it again.
Great school. Faculty really cares and doesn't just push the kids through. Wonderful, nuturing atmosphere. Outstanding middle school sports program. Top-noch academics. Head & shoulders above any public school. Worth every dollar!
I wish reviewers would be more specific when leaving reviews - especially negative ones. We're considering Holy Angels and find Mrs Martinez helpful, intelligent, and kind - we're worried though about what could have caused two such negative reviews in the past year!
