St. Maria Goretti Catholic School

As a public school teacher for 20 years, I have been on a lot of campuses. I know what to look for. Walking my Pre-K daughter into SMG on her school days brings me calm and reassurance that I made the right decision to send her (and soon her little brother) to SMG. I see happy teachers and happy children. What I don't see is wild and crazy kids during the school day, like in public school. The only concern I have is with the after-school care. The kids seem to be a little more nuts and the ladies hired for the job may not be skilled in managing a larger group of kids. Besides that, it's an awesome school! Thanks for making my little daughter love school!

St. Maria Goretti Catholic School is a school that has a very traditional feel and a very welcoming atmosphere. The reason we chose this school in the very beginning when we were thinking about where we wanted to send our children to school was because of it's strong academics and affiliation with the parish. I couldn't be more pleased with the education our children have received at SMG. It's a great school with caring teachers and staff. The academics are rigorous and prepare the children to be lifelong learners. When my child went on to college she said she was glad they were so rigorous because she felt they had really prepared her and gave her good study habits. The teachers are always willing to help your child and go above and beyond. My children have received an outstanding education at an affordable tuition that although was not met without sacrifice was doable. Great principal !!!

Not a good school at all. No administration. No rules and no consistency. Academically, they are WAY behind other Catholic schools. My son attended this school for four long years and because of his experience there, he hates school. The teachers are mean, uncaring and unprofessional. Waste of money and time.

This is a truly amazing school. I have learned so much and have so many wonderful memories. I will be so sad when I leave. I love my teachers and classmates and I hate it when people say this school is bad. It is the best school out there!

We switched from public to private and it has been the best switch we have ever made. My daughter came from a good public school and the parents were great. The problem was that the public school enviroment does not address the bulling and clicks that go on on the play ground and in the classrooms there are just to many kids to watch. The guidence classes offered and the expectations from the teachers at SMG creates a safe and warm envirment. This allows the students to concentrate on their education and not on which new IPod or on name brand clothing they have to have. SMG teaches their students the tools to always be prepared,organized and thoughtful of others. I am so thankful that SMG believes that along with the excellent education they offer they also teach there studens to be better people.

My child has went to SMG for 5 years. It is amazing to me the quality and individual attention my child receives. I would recommend it to any parent searching for high-quality education and strong Catholic values.

We have been at SMG for 9 years now. I can not imagine my children going to any other school. I myself attended, as well as my father and sisters. Many of our students are children of SMG alumni. The teachers are great-loving and caring. The entire staff is there to help educate our children academically and in their Catholic faith. The students are also taught about social justice and do a lot for their school community and parish. The tuition is one of the best around and it is worth every penny we pay to send them there.
