A school with the most safe environment that is also very disciplined. You don't find another like it. This school is above the rest.
I'm a junior at Mater Academy and I would say that the school is decent in some cases, but they worry about things that don't have to do with education. I've seen people go to CSI and get detentions because they have a white line on their shoes or don't have the school's name on their sweater. Honestly, I think it's dumb for the school to be worrying so much about specific things we're wearing and not worrying about the education we're getting. A few teachers don't know what they're doing or aren't doing their jobs right. The food isn't great because they leave it cold or don't cook it right, and it's also too expensive. Sure the school's an 'A' school and give the impression that it's a great school, but in reality they are very disorganized and have a distorted discipline. Luckily, most of the people there are friendly.
I have to say that mater was a good school once upon a time but my experience this school year has been pretty bad. First I agree, phones ring for ever, I had a situation with my son & short of going to the school & making a scene, it took 2 months to get a AP on the phone. Still the problems were not addressed properly & I have to say that although they try to put on a great facade as far a leadership, they are really lacking as far as organization, communication & acting in the students best interest at heart. Somewhere along the line, they have just become a student ID & not a person we are trying to educate. My child will be graduating next year only because I don't want to change him now , but my child that is in middle school will not.
Great school, just needs less kids or more buildings because my only pick on it is the obvious over crowded building. Also like evryoyther school some teachers should not be there but most are great and work really hard for your kids. The office is almost always busy and hardly ever pick up their phones, but the school administration is great.
