I'm a former student of SLA and I have to say: -Not enough classes to offered. AP/Honors classes are basically available to only juniors and seniors. -Administration practices favoritism on the juniors and seniors. Seniors get a separate line (shorter and faster, mind you) in the cafeteria. Both juniors and seniors can get student of the month award, while the other two classes don't. What are they trying to do? Ruin the freshmen and sophomores' experiences in high school? -Laptops are a waste of time. There's no point to having them except taking computer-related classes. The most likely reason you pay $800 a month to the school is because the school pays the taxes to keep them. -Like the other reviewer said, the only person you can be there is the bullied or the bully. -Cafteria meals are average or bad. Refer to my next post for more info.
I graduated from SLA three years ago. I didn't appreciate it when I was there, but I found that I was very well prepared for my years at Santa Clara University. One of my religion teachers took the time to make corrections in spelling, punctuation and grammar. He was my best English teacher, even though he did not teach English at the school. I also learned a lot about life. I learned that life is often difficult, but that we have the ability to overcome the challenges we face. I learned that life isn't always fair, but we can learn to accept the way things are and make the most of it. I learned that it is important to be aware of the needs of others, especially the poor, and that we have a responsibility to help people who don't have what we have. I learned a lot at SLA.
I have just started with st. Lawrence and my son has been loving it. His teacher is friendly out going and patient. Yes some parents can not partipate in everything because of the economy today, but that why we have excellent teachers. Out all the teachers I have met mrs credi is the top of the line.
this is a great school- diverse enough (not just while and catholic ), but high regard for parental participation and achedemics
