I strongly disagree with a previous review. I have two kids in school, grades K and 4. My kids are happy, the teachers are very professional, and the level of education is much better then in any public school I had experience with. By the way there were only 17 kids in each Fourth Grade class this year. Also never had any problems with viewing grades on school's web site. They were updated every 2-3 days. We absolutely love the school!!!
While this school has many positive aspects it might not be the best fit for everyone. The Kinder, 1st and 2nd grades all have excellent teachers. Beyond 2nd grade the academic experience doen't seem to be any greater than public school. Class sizes are 22-24 and the drop out rate each year seems to increase more. The school appears to be stuggeling financially and has recently let go of several teachers. There has been no consistant technology teacher for over seven weeks for the elementary school and no grades posted since March. The school seems to be in a state of flux. New teachers hired in the past seem to have very little teaching experience and as is the case in most private schools no teaching certificates are required.
My oldest daughter attended Saint Gabriel's for four years. She is making straight A's in public high school now and I attribute much of her academic success to the years she spent here.
