There is a lot of bullying going on in this school. Staff and principal pretend to care. Don't be fooled by the "Blue Ribbon" award advertisement. It's more about exaggerated quantity of work, than quality education. There are no good resources for the children, classrooms are overcrowded, extracurricular activities and after school program are bad. Do you really want to pay money for that headache?
We LOVE Blessed Sacrament. From the Principal down to the Teacher's Aides, everyone is so kind and caring. The teachers are very well qualified and create projects that the kids enjoy. All of the children from grades K-8 know each other and are so supportive of each other. I can't imagine my kids going anywhere. The fact that the school is a Blue Ribbon school is an additional bonus! I am so happy that my children are in a Christ Centered community surround by a loving and creative faculty!
Very displeased with this community. We decided to transfer to another Catholic School and it was the best decision we could have made for our children.
Outstanding! This is the kind of school where the principal will know each child's name and the superb staff can do the same. From the Early Childhood Education Center to the eighth grade, children learn to care for others, be responsible for themselves, and help out in the community. At the close of each day the school assembles for announcements and a prayer. That daily action does a lot to reinforce school goals and give kids great confidence to speak before others. Students here seem to love to learn and are encouraged to think for themselves in a safe, cheerful, respectful environment. Specialty classes are introduced in kindergarten. In first grade students select which foreign language to study for the next 8 years. This school is academically challenging but students tend to thrive and enjoy school! Lots of parent support here -working with dedicated teachers to prepare children for life!
It is Christ-centered and the teachers create a warm,loving atmosphere.
We had a terrible experience at this school. Our son s teacher had no experience and recommended unnecessary therapy for him instead of asking for a professional examination before she made any kind of conclusion/decision. We requested a group of professionals to evaluate him individually and he got the best scores on all tests he had to perform. Today we are happy on our decision of taking him out of that place.
Both of my daughters go to this school. Every one is very friendly and so sweet. My daughters never complain about the other children being mean. The education is wonderful. My children are learning so much here and are really happy being at this school. For the 2008-2009 school year they won the blue ribbon for academic excellents. The teachers and staff are the sweetest people. There uniforms are classic navy plaid. K-5th grade wear jumpers and 6th-8th wear plaid skirts. There is basketball, track, and tennic.
It is the best school in the world! The staff and kids are SO friendly and nice! when we go out to play every day out side there are always parents watching to kids and looking after them. There is a really good education! All the teachers are really nice. The 5th and 7th grade teachers are the nicest and coolist of them all though! We also won the Blue ribbon for such good education. The price is also really good!
A NCLB 2008 Blue ribbon school! My daughter attends here and it is terrific! Teachers, principal, everyone. They offer 2 languages beginning in 1st grade.
