Our son is in his second year here and we have nothing but praise for the entire staff and curriculum. His previous school in the Shawmont neighborhood was extremely negative and was run by a tyrant. Holy Child is the exact opposite. They have a caring nurturing environment where the student's education and well being come first. A school couldn't ask for or get a better, more qualified, caring principal and vice principal. They are the reason why parents choose Holy Child over others. Place this school high on your short list. Well worth the visit.

My son attended Holy Family School soon to be Holy Child School. I found the school to be exceptional in academics and discipline. The children are well mannered and the teachers are caring. I would recommend Holy Family to anyone.

Community ratings and reviews do not represent the views of GreatSchools nor does GreatSchools check their accuracy or verify the reviewers' identities. Use your discretion when evaluating these reviews.

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.
