I went through the whole process of taking a tour and setting up times to take my placement tests, which i scored very well on. I then proceed to do all the other requirements to get an interview with the teacher to hopefully get accepted into the program. Then, randomly at almost 5pm one day I got a TEXT message, not a phone call, from a random number with a very unprofessionally worded message telling me I did not get selected for an interview and told me to call the school to find out my next steps. So, I called the school and the front dest girl was going to transfer me to Brian, who was my counselor, but he had already left for the day and asked if he could call me back, I proceeded to never have any more communication with the school, I never found out why I did not get selected to move forward or what my other options were. I will not consider this school for any of my future education. They also are insanely overpriced and most of the people you will talk to don't know what they're talking about and give you no encouragement. If I could give zero stars I would, but the front desk girls are very sweet and they can have this star.

It's too bad this place is closing in June because I just discovered it! The culinary students put…read moreon a fabulous meal on Tuesdays and Wednesday (reservations only). There is a buffet - we had salad and salad turkey, with artichoke dip and beautifully sliced veggies. There was a bread bowl with a variety of cheese, scalloped potatoes, 2 deserts to choose from (or you could have both) you can choose from Arbuckle's coffee or desert iced tea with the buffet. You can order weekly changing items from the menu. There is a soup and sandwich of the day. It was a very fancy feel - white tablecloths and students were wearing chef hats. I felt like I was in a fancy restaurant! We had an extra person who came with us on our reservation, but we were accommodated very quickly! I hope to go again before they officially close.

This is an actual test question my child was asked on their middle school civil war test at this…read moreschool which speaks for itself. Which American president said "only white men should be in charge of rebuilding the south"? The question was not couched in any language to describe that this president was known for his drunkenness or being a terrible president. The quote was not listed on the study guide as need to know material for students. And yet, it was on the test along with several other questionably framed topics regarding slavery and civil war. These types of questions are damaging to children who are already bullied for being different in some ways from the white men who hold privilege/power in our country. The new principal is harsh and unforgiving. She has no qualms about threatening parents with crimes for stopping to talk to teachers before or after school while at the same time telling parents to stop emailing all the time. How are parents supposed to advocate for their children if they cannot stop to talk to the teachers or email them? Her solution is to let kids sink and fail repeatedly while being bullied by teachers and students daily. Is it appropriate for a teacher to ask a student to turn off the light for class and when they get up to do so, say "you need the exercise" followed by laughter of all the middle school classmates. This happens at Cyril (a male teacher in junior high commenting on a female child's need for exercise). Is it appropriate for a teacher (whom the student told before class they forgot their contacts and weren't seeing the board well) to then ask that student to read the board and answer the question from their seat? And then when the student responds I can't see it well today, for the teacher to respond, I bet you can't to the laughter of all the other students? Is it appropriate for a school to make an accommodation plan for a student and then choose not to follow it repeatedly despite parent documentation of the lapses? Why even make a plan if you are going to shame the child for needing it? Is it ok for teachers to stop parents anytime or anywhere on campus for an impromptu meeting including in hallways to discuss private matters like mental health, grades, or quality of notes BUT have a policy that parents cannot stop and talk to teachers about the same things? Is it appropriate for a school to ban parents and students from speaking their native languages like Spanish on campus? What about when their child is hurt or injured and the parent is trying to comfort them? The parents are scolded, "English please", by this new principal. This school has had multiple leadership changes over the last few years. We were family here for 8 years and have finally realized that they don't really care about you or your kids. They care about control and compliance. They don't really care about diversity. They care about kids sitting down and shutting up while they are fed bullying alongside questionable teaching practices such as shaming and yelling at kids. Your money (or state funds from ESA) supports old and outdated teaching that leads to bullying at this school and in the future workplace. It's sad to see such kind families be taken advantage of and bullied into silence and submission. My children were frequent honor roll students and still had issues, how will your students fare here?

I really had high hopes for this school and this new administration. My hopes were quickly…read moreextinguished this last Friday during the assessment testing for placement in your school. The unprofessionalism that was displayed by Jennifer Buchanan was outright sickening and disgusting. She verbally attacked the school and staff that currently enhances my child's life and education. Not only did she do that publicly in front of all of the parents, but in front of the children as well. What adult does that?! That's absolute bullying, defamation of character, and abuse of power. She also lied to a lot of us. A few months ago she verbally promised us that our children had a guaranteed spot only to back peddle and say that was not the case. And not to mention, she had zero data to back up her malicious, false claims! You clearly have an integrity issue here. I have heard stories of the staff bullying families and again, I was open to giving this school another chance because the administration had changed. Apparently old, ugly spirited, and gross standards remain. What part of how you treat people is Godlike in your Catholic school? Why do you place unqualified people in positions where they abuse their unqualified power? I am so grateful that this all happened so I didn't waste my money and or tax credits on your school. St. Cyrils, you have lost so many amazing families over this. Not only did this cost you incredible humans within these families, it cost you so much in tuition dollars, and this continued behavior continues to cost you your reputation.

I have attended Phoenix as an online student. I was using my FASFA to pay for it. I kept getting…read morecalls telling me that my FASFA was incorrect. That being said, I'd like to start off by saying, you workers at Phoenix are not my parents. You can not tell me my FASFA income is wrong or incorrect. I even gave y'all my parents socials so you could get their incomes yourselves, as requested, and such action was taken. Recently, I received a email saying I owed Phoenix $1,100. I wanted to see why so I logged and they withdrew me, without even informing me. They have a sixteen percent graduation rate and now I understand why. I'm transferring my credits to a different college, because honestly, this one, despite being online, the workers will stress you out. I gave them two stars because I actually enjoyed the two classes I was allowed to take. Other than that, I would not recommend Phoenix to anybody.
