Mr. Hodes (President) lacks knowledge and experience in how to appropriately interact with families from other backgrounds, other than his own (white). In 10th grade, my son got into a physical altercation with another child. This was an isolated incident. I do not instill violence in my children. There was a "zero tolerance" policy in place. So they suspended him and naturally I was enraged by their inability to be open to another approach/ perspective. I emailed and met in person about my concerns. I researched and provided reputable resources to support my concerns. Additionally, my son has always struggled academically, due to being formally diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. He just had a most recent psychological testing by my district that further supported key components that should have urged them to reevaluate their policy. After all that time, energy and effort, it amounted to nothing. Instead, Mr Hodes personalized my advocacy and embraced his ego and privilege of being a white! How typical! Later that same year, I came across him at my sons basketball game. He looked me right in my face with disgust and couldn't maintain his professionalism, especially given his title. He is a non entity, so I found humor in it and was satisfied seeing him for who he really is. Then Mariann Hogan was my son's guidance counselor! What a joke! I have my MSW and basic skills to create a healthy experience under the scope of a guidance counselor was not present. Each year, a new academic support plan was to be developed. I was only able to get two plans out of four years (freshman and sophomore year). Half the time the teachers didn't adhere to the whole purpose of the academic plan. The worst of it all is senior year, during the most critical time of the college application process, she takes three weeks off. There was no one to take her place so my son had the crucial support he needed. This was an extremely stressful time, which should make sense to the average school personnel. To no surprise, my son backed out of the idea of college. Mrs Hogan sent a very strong message with her careless absence and lack to interpersonal skills to have built an appropriate relationship with my son. The whole school needs to get revamped and embrace Critical Race Theory. Culturally, so lost!

Wonderful school. Strong focus on children coming out with good moral character, academics and…read moreathletics. They have taken my shy child and helped boost her confidence in track and field, and she has maintained honor roll status. The school boasts an amazing gym, and all the kids got Ipads this summer, so less books to buy and lug around. The tuition is fair, and the focus on the children unsurpassed. VERY happy with this school, your child would be lucky to attend.

I disagree strongly with any negative review. I am extremely familiar with Notre Dame Academy…read more This is why NDA is superior: The education that the students receive is superior, and that includes mathematics. Teachers are dedicated and really care about the success and happiness of every student. Graduates attend the colleges of their choice and have successful careers with an above average rate of careers in math, science and engineering. They do not feel limited by gender. The peer group is universally positive. There is no bullying at the school, and no one breaks the rules, other than a uniform infraction. Young women honestly have fun together without the distraction of boys. But there are plenty of occasions to meet boys, the school sees to that! Girls graduate with friends for life. The sisterhood is not a myth. The moral teaching at NDA is something that students do not get at other schools. Students are taught social justice and tolerance without it being didactic. They are taught to respect themselves and others. And, you don't have to be Catholic to be happy at NDA. There are students of all religions. In short, I would recommend Notre Dame Academy to anyone!!

Ahh, high school. Smell the memories…read more So, I had to learn the hard way that when you leave home, you tend to idealize it. I tend to think of this place as a kind of breeding ground for radical feminism sprinkled with a little mass on the side. With my ten year reunion rolling around, I was a little too pumped up to get an email from our 'class rep' addressed to everyone. It's not that I intended to go exactly (in fact I had a conversation exactly to the opposite effect with my close friend from high school recently), but there was something about remembering all those girls. My memories of the nice nuns and the green tiled hallways (we used to refer to our school as a giant bathroom) all came rushing back. ZZzziip (you know, that record noise where you come back to reality)--- when I emailed our rep to inform her that I would not be attending, she made it totally apparent that she didn't have a *fucking* clue who I was! How dare she! I was rememberable, damnit! I did stuff! No, I didn't sleep with multiple members of the football team at our brother school, but I was there; I was. . . Yea, so high school sucks. I know I should have remembered this, but I didn't. This is just a word of caution to all of you out there who might be overly sappy about their whole experience: they won't even remember you!

Institutional Bullying and Stigmatization…read more It is a disgrace to see what is happening to our children at Weymouth High School. I am a grandmother and is involved with my grandchildren's education. In 2022 and 2023 I went to the high school with both parents. In 2023 one of my daughter and I met with the principal a few times due to concerns and safety issues regarding my grandson . I realized this is a hostile learning environment and safety issues . The Department of Education is aware and is currently doing an investigation. A month after the complaint with the Department of Education, the police was called at Weymouth High, and thank God my grandson ran or else he could have been hurt or killed. I pray daily and thank God he was not hurt. The principal does not give any accountability to her staff's wrongdoings, she has no responsibility to disciplining her staffs but allows their bullying, unfair treatments, discrimination, abuses and retaliation after filing a complaint with the D.O.E. Both the principal and vice principal from our interaction with them, we realized they are unqualified and incompetent for their position in the Weymouth School. I am shocked by what is occurring, it is disgusting unacceptable and disgraceful. I am a Woman of God , who believes in equality, morality and ethics. When I speak I backed my words 100%. I only post when I see one thinks their position gives them the right to take disadvantage and abuse others. Bless
