The only reason why I chose to give two stars instead of one is because I did learn way more during…read moremy time there than other people I knew at the same grade level. I went to ICS for eleven years. From the age of 3 up until I was 13. The problem with this school is not the education, or their way of teaching the word of God, it is their blatant disrespect for those of African American descent. During my time there it was very clear that although the majority of their school was made up of minority students they did not care much about the history and importance of black Americans which was hard to deal with as a child. Being told that because of my skin color I was cursed and Martin Luther King Jr. did not do much for black people. At that time MKJ day wasn't even given as a holiday but every other national holiday was. Although these statements were made by one teacher, he was high up and is a minority himself, which shows the level of hatred that lies in this school. I do not think this is the kind of message that should ever be sent from a "Christian" school. Honestly going to a public high school gave me way more opportunities than staying there for high school ever could. Hopefully they have changed but hate like that seems to linger.

My children attended Albertus Magnus High School. I have been happy with their education - the…read moreacademic environment is challenging, the extra-curricular activities offered are varied -and include a thriving theater and performing arts group, a student newspaper which has garnered national awards, international club, art club, student government (and more) and a wide variety of competitive sports teams. The education coupled with the Christian tradition and the array of activities gave my children a well-rounded education. The teachers are dedicated to their students. Many also coach teams or moderate clubs after school. They provide "extra help" to students who require it. They don't leave when the bell rings. Graduates have gone on to top notch schools as well as middle tier schools and also RCC, just as students who have graduated from the New Jersey Catholic schools or the NY public schools. Graduates have received ample scholarships for academic performance and have been awarded significant financial aid awards too. Albertus tuition is significantly less than their New Jersey Catholic school counterparts. When deciding on a high school for your child, the best approach is to contact each school under consideration, ask for their college data, read their brochures, check out the websites, talk with teachers, current parents, students, and graduates. Also arrange for your child to visit for a day to get a feel for the atmosphere. Attend a sports contest, concert, play, or art show. These are usually advertised. If you and your child are lucky enough to make the "right" decision (best school for your child and it may not necessarily be Albertus Magnus), you will know when he or she says as my student did, "I love Albertus!"

Rockland County is full of exceptional public schools with more resources and better teachers. Even…read moreif you are looking for a Catholic Education experience, there are a number of top schools in Bergen County, New Jersey that are far more worth your tuition money and have much better collegiate connections. I wouldn't waste your time or hard earned money on Albertus Magnus. Most of the educators there are simply unable to find a "real" job in a public school, and the rest are just there temporarily to gain experience so that they can move on. There no longer exists the teachers that are there for the students and plan on sticking around to guide them through their formidable years and assist in the transition to college. The guidance department is a complete sham with hardly any experience, knowledge or contacts. My advice, either save your money or spend it on a REAL school.

My daughter was bullied and even with written statements from teachers the privilege students were suspended for 4 days. They pushed her down in the bathroom while a few stood watch at the door.

She is now a thriving and productive senior. Most of all a happy young lady. Bullying is REAL at this school

Greetings Fellow Yelpers!…read more Since my last review of The Mary Louis Academy (TMLA), I have been personally visited by faculty members of the school on more than one occasion and although I do not appreciate how I was spoken to, I no longer hold so much anger for the events I experienced. Surely things have improved, so it's time for a friendly update! (If my visitors are reading this, no...you didn't scare or intimidate me... I'm just not angry anymore.) My own experience at TMLA was negative and humiliating. But I cannot imagine that the issues that were present years ago could continue to slip by unnoticed. Although my time at The Academy did not benefit me, there are many others who did find it helpful. Eventful and informative open houses are held at least once a year and visiting parents and students have a chance to speak with EVERYONE. My advice is to pay very close attention and to simply ask the right questions. Wishing students, parents and faculty the very best! Good Luck!

It is a k-12 school, and there is no other school that can match to the extent that they go to make sure everyone is happy. Going to the academic side of things, it is still an amazing school. Even though we have both Judaic studies and the "normal" school studies, students at our school get into great colleges. For instance, 2 out of 39 students got into Cornell this year. Schechter is like no other school that I know. They teach us about Israel, and the language of Hebrew. It is a great school, but you can't get the full experience through a yelp review, you can come and try it out! One student will be chosen to ambassador your child, and they get to meet what will be their future classmates if they decide to come to the school. Schechter really is a great school, and I know that you will also love it.
