I am a teacher there and am a 2nd year teacher. I am not from the Pottsville area originally and the family atmosphere that was provided to me really helped the transition. The teachers and staff really have the best interest of your student in their hearts and minds and work very hard to provide your child with the up to date academics and challenging criteria they deserve.

A well rounded education with many going on to advanced education. And with class size smaller than when we were in school, still have teachers and staff that have time for the number person the student's education and activities

I graduated from Nativity BVM, when Catholic School was Catholic School. It was tough, but for the most part the teachers were great and you learned or else.

Nativity BVM offers a great atmosphere of learning, sports and a commitment to your school, family and community. I would not send my chidren to any other school. As for the tuition, Nativity offers financial aid and other ways of paying. Check it out,you will be supprised.

In my junior year, I decided that Pottsville wasn't giving me the quality education I deserved. Upon visits to Nativity, I found that this is what a high school should be. I really wanted to go there, but I knew my parents could not afford it. We brought up our concern with those at Nativity, and discovered that financial aid could help put me through the rest of high school. We ended up paying only about 25 percent of the tuition, which really helped. Nativity offered a great education, and I for once felt welcome and accepted from the students, staff, and administration. I recommend sending your child to spend a day at Nativity because you have no idea on what you're missing!

I enjoy nativity so much. The friendships you make last. Teachers are genuinely concerned and there for you if you'd need them.

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.
