Mother of Divine Grace

Very clicky school. If you are not part of the click then your child suffers. They want the parents to be involved and volunteer but when the parents outside of the clicks volunteer they get pushed off into the corner and forgotten about or they become the gofer at functions.

I wish I could say that we are happy with MDG but every week we discover more that we do not like. I would not recommend this school to anyone whose child is above average in intelligence. MDG has nothing to offer that child. The reading program is not good. Not enough variation in academics or extra curricular. The staff is not the best of the best and the principal is average.

There are many things that I love about MDG. MDG has great teachers and staff that show enormous effort and care in these students education. I am disappointed in the fact that while along with the community of this school have gone through many fundraisers and benefits to acquire computers, my child has yet to use them. It is the end of May and the school year is just about over. I am also disappointed in the fact that my child has only had a gym teacher for half of the school year so therefore went without gym class for the other half. I would like to continue my child s education at MDG because I believe in the teachers abilities, but these issues would have to be improved upon.

Mother of Divine Grace School is awesome! The staff works very hard and expect the students to always try their best. The principal encourages all parents to be involved in their child's education. The principal and staff want the students to accept responsiblity for their actions and education. As a parent I thank them for this. The school has continued to grow because of the staff and principal.

As parents we are the primary teachers of our kids and have assumed an important vocation to raise them in the practice of the Catholic faith. Our children will follow our example in coming to know Jesus, encounter Him in the Sacraments, and participate in the life of the Church. MDG is supportive of this role as my child s teacher in the ways of the faith by daily prayer, religious instruction, Mass and seasonal devotions. MDG aims to provide a diversified and strong academic program that goes beyond 'test scores' to develop a student s full potential. MDG offers a safe learning environment; many extra curricular activities for the children and families; and an open, respectful communication setting with the principal and her staff. This is our third year and so far, so good.

I believe the school encourages each and every parent to get involve. As all schools need support, so does MDG. Fund raising is a very big issue and is no different @ other schools as well. If each and every parent continues to donate their time and efforts to the school, we would be striving to be even better. MDG has been climbing the ladder of success and is thriving very well.

My child went to this school for several years. She did well. The last few years the school went down hill. The teachers and principal don't seem to see eye to eye. Bullying and clicks is a big issue in this school.

I have to agree with other parents on the principle. She is on a power trip and spends most of her time blaming the parenting yet never notifying the parents of the issue. I find this to be disturbing that a women who has no children and no experience on running a household can so quickly downgrade the parents of her students. This school is very clicky and unfortunatly for your child you need to hope you are part of that click or your child will be singled out.

MDG is a great school! Learning is fun at MDG. The teachers and staff make the child interested in what they are learning. My daughter started playing chess in second grade and now is teaching her grandfather how to play. The teachers not only teach their students, they care about them. The Principal goes above and beyond her call of duty and gives each child the attention and love they deserve. I think sometimes the school gets a bad rap and it isn't fair. If each parent did their part, I think things would be a little easier for everyone.
