St. Mary School Reviews

 
I currently have two children who attend St. Mary's. My oldest son, who is graduating this year has earned a scholarship to St. Edward High School, and my youngest is at the top of his Kindergarten class. The staff (teachers, aids, and adminstration) is wonderful. The parents and children are expected to give 110%. If your have a child who wants to succeed, then St. Mary's is the place for them. The atmosphere is loving and wonderful. Your child will work hard, but he will also benefit in the end.

My daughter has been at St. Mary's for two years and has truly benefited from all aspects of the school. I highly recommend it, especially for students who have a high aptitude.

I took my tow youngest sons out of St. Mary's 2 years ago for a variety of reasons. They are both thiving in an excellent public school system. St. Mary's needs more services for children who learn differently and more accomodations in the regular education setting. They choose to put money into other things like Drama instead. Two of my children did wonderful there but if you're children need services- look elsewhere. They are not willing to go the extra mile for families who would go the extra mile for them.

I currently have two children attending St. Mary's and do not plan to continue their education there after this year. St. Mary's has an outstanding academic curriculum and has a lot to offer to the above average student. There is approximately 1-2 hours of homework each night and little to no help from the teachers. The principal does not return calls or help with any solutions to problems occurring. And, they do not enforce a Christian atmosphere. There is a lot of 'keeping up with the Jones' '. The parents can be very clicky as well. I do NOT recommend this school.

I went to St. Mary's until I transfered to a public school system in which I am extremely happy with. St. Mary's was okay for me in the primary grades but I felt that once we got into multipication I struggled because of the new program.

Two of my children attended with two different outcomes. My daughter was a good student and thrived at St. Mary's. My son struggled academically and we fought with the teachers and administrators to get him the help he needed. We eventually withdrew him after 5th grade and sent him to the public school where he is now thriving with minimal additional tutoring. The math program had been weak but now seems on track with the adoption of the Saxon math program. The school has a great sports program starting 4th grade. Several students made it to the state finals for the 'Power of the Pen' writing program over the last two years. Summary: If your child is average to above average this can be a great school. If you know or suspect your child may have learning issues, you may want to consider schools with better resources.

As a parent of a 3rd grade child, I am extremelly pleased with the level of quality teachers my son has had thus far. His standarazied test scores prove to us a strong academic foundation at St.Mary's. Extra programs provide opportunities for parent involvement. As a parent I appreciate the high standards, both moral and academic, that are expected at SMS. As a working parent the Before School and After School Extended Care Program provides my child with a safe environment and allows him supervised homework time with a certified teacher.The curriculum includes specials such as Spanish, Computers & Music/Drama. Knowing my child looks forward to going to school every day, certainly reaffirms my belief in Catholic education and that St. Mary's is a quality Catholic school.

My two children go to this school. Knowing that it is an acredited school makes a difference to me. The staff is absolutely wonderful. I am confident that my kids are getting a good education.
