School Reviews

We have had two children in the school for four years now. We moved from a Catholic school in the North. This school is incredibly well run and the teachers are extremely caring and encouraging. The facilities are in great shape, strong academics, good extracurricular programs and the religious formation is fantastic. This is a five star school.

The teacher to student ratio is 35 to 1. While this is fine in the elementary school it becomes an issue in the middle school especially if you student is above average in intelligence. There are no honors or AP type courses and the large class sizes makes it impossible to challenge gifted students. It is a great school for the average student.
