Principal needs to go! He is aweful as a leader and example for our Catholic Faith. He is rude to parents, teachers and he absolutely does not know how to interact with children. Network needs to wake up and get rid of the principal and maybe this school will have a chance of not being closed by the Network.
I have mixed feelings about this school. Many things at he schools are really nice as are some of the teachers. There is one classroom that many parents are allowed to stay in the room and visit in the morning far too long and again, after school it starts again. The parents seem to have too much control in the room as well. There is a time and a place to visit and I don't think it appropriate when the "Daddy's" are in the room all of the time. I like the fact that security is good at school, prayer is a big plus and I have been told that there are many new changes in the works. This is good! I do believe that it the school is to compete with others, the principal should buckle down and encourage the teachers to be professional and get them to do their job and not be too friendly with the parents. Being polite is good, It is obvious that the teacher in question is a people pleaser and is insecure. When the bell rings and prayer starts, teaching should start. Students should be dropped off at the door and parents should leave. I hope these issues will be addressed so this campus will become better. It's sad that the students will lose out because of this!
This school is just going down the trash -- my child has been there since 1st grade and is now in 6th grade and since the school hired a new principle, two school years ago -- the school is just falling to pieces. There is no open door policy anymore -- you have to make an appointment for everything and by the time you get an appointment, well the issue is long gone by now. Sorry to say but St. Mary Magdalen needs a NEW Principle and fast!!!
I was happy last year with the school, but things have changed, Other children are harrassing my child, and I do not see this being addressed with their parents. I have been very ill and signed a payment plan. They will not let my child attend field trips since the account is not current, and my child has been told that she cannot go because we owe tuition. That should not be my child's burden. And they do not send her to study if she cannot go; I was told to keep her home and this is an unscheduled absence.
Excellent/Great teachers/high scores/small student to teacher ratio!
this is the best school my child has ever went to
