i hate the fact that the only advanced classes St. Matthew's has are spanish and math. math is ok but i bet if i was in public school i would have learned alot more by now and would be in more advanced clsses. i agree this isnt the best bang for ur buck.
I have attended this school for 11 years. I must say that this school is worth spending your money on. Although some teachers may not be as professional and advanced as others or may be more 'snooty' on students, it's still all worth it. St. Matt's taught me very important lessons that I would need in the future. One major lesson is religion. St. Matt's made me realize how important being a catholic is. At first when i went to St. Matt's, I was only 3 years old, I didn't believe in God, but as i grew older, i started to learn more about God and my faith in him grew. The very last year at St. Matt's, my religion teacher was one of the main reasons why I pray every night now, because of St. Matt's, there's no doubt in my mind that there is a God. St. Matt's has an outstanding athletics department. I joined soccer, cross country, track, and basketball my past years at St. Matt's. The teachers are VERY supporitve when it comes to sports. Some even came to our toughest baskteball games just to support us! St. Matt's sports taught me to be dedication, determination, commitment, and support. The academics here are also outstanding, most especially math. Even though St. Matt's is strict about dress codes and has uniforms, I certainly think it has taught us to 'never judge a book by its cover,' because of St. Matt's I have met many caring, loyal, determined, and RESPECTFUL students. I have many friends that go to a public school and many that went to St. Matt's. The biggest difference between them is their properness and the way they talk, i'm not saying all public school kids are like that though, but out of all my friends, my friends from St. Matthew's are more respectful and proper. Overall, St. Matthew's is definitely a school that I would want to put my kids in when I grow up.
I personally think this school is average. Some of the teachers are exceptionally good while others are not as professional. Some of the teachers are too strict when it comes to dresscode and conduct. The sports program is fun to get involved in. Through the ups and downs here at St. Matthew's I have made good friends here. I would recommend you to go to this school because it your children will make friends easily.
My husbandsat on the school board for St. Matthew's for 3 years. The school does not take learning disabled children they must go to the public school for the best help. My child begeged to leave the school because she did not feel like she was getting the same education as her friends in public school. Listen to your children they are often right. After taking summer courses she finally got caught up in math and science. St. Mathew is not your best bang for your buck.
