As a former student, now in high school, I realize the great learning atmosphere
at St.Margaret's has had a profound effect on my school years. Dedicated
teachers and a hard-working principal, who are always willing to help, make this
a wonderful school. The teacher- student ratio is 14-1, and there are numerous
after-school programs, as well as a pre-k, ages 3 and 4. All-in-all, St.Margaret's
is a tremendous, very SAFE place for your child to grow.
