Saint Angela Merici has many benefits. As a private school it has zero tolerance for unacceptable behavior and demands the best form its students and teachers. The menue at lunch, well if you like pasta salad, salad bars, stuff peppers, deli days, pasta days and yes even fresh tacos from local produce, you are in luck. No goverment frozen foods. Grades are number one and students go on to college and professial jobs. Parents are treated fairly and with respect. Miss McFarland is a true leader and guides your children to sucess!! Check out their scores and decide for yourself. It is worth my money.

I came to this site to tell everyone what a wonderful school St. Angela Merici is. Before I began to write, I read the reviews and am so disappointed that a disgrunteled parent would write such negativity about this school. This school provides a great educaiton, the students who graduate from St. Angela are the top students in high school. St. Angela has provided us with many good memories, a top notch education, and faith experiences to prepare for the future.

St. angela's is very irrespoible the teachers do not teach very well and the luches are bad. The parents who can't get up there every day and serve lunch get treated like crap. The only thing that school wants is money and the prices are way over the top. I would not recommend this school

St Angela's provides a quality education while instilling respect and discipline in the children. The administration and teachers always show excellent judgement in dealing with the classroom. There is a zero tolerance for bullying or bad behavior. The key to this success is Ms. McFarland who sets the tone for this school. When I asked why the children in her school succeed in so many measures, she simply said: 'we expect it.'

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.
