I was raised Catholic, and wanted to bring those Christian values to my kids. In the beginning, I…read moreheard good things in the general community about this school. The kids were enrolled, and off they went. What is my impression now that they have nearly completed their journey? If I were to go back in time, knowing what I do now, would I send them back? Here are some of my honest takes. The Positives - Promotion of Christian values. - Mandatory service hours in the community - Kairos retreats - A new trades building and classes - Nice technology for students The Negatives - Tuition: The tuition cost here goes up each year, and it is ridiculously expensive! The same goes for registration fees. - Solicitation for money: With how much the tuition costs, they are constantly soliciting donations, raffles, and other money-making opportunities. - Cafeteria Prices: The price of food for kids is ridiculously high. Through the years, my kids and their friends have told me that the quality is generally poor. Expensive and poor quality are not a good combination. - Meal Balance: Should your child's meal balance become even $1 short, you will get an email asking for it to be paid immediately, or the child will not be able to have lunch until it is paid in full. I speak from experience. My child's meal balance was -$1.00, and I got an email about this from the "FSC Kitchen Manager" asking for it to be paid immediately. Okay, I get that there is a $1 negative balance. Fear not, it will be paid right away, but -$1?? Do they have any idea how much money they are making off of me with tuition? Maybe consider a threshold before these emails are fired off. - Over the last 3-4 years, there have been several suicides, teen pregnancies, and threats of violence. I understand that this can happen anywhere, and it is a tragedy in any circumstance, but I didn't expect it here. When the school administration sent out notes to parents regarding some of these things, I found it in very bad taste to keep the "It's a great day to be a Crusader" signature. - Days off: I have never seen a school with more time off. Half days, full days, it's incredible. One day I would like sit down and tally up all of the days that my kids were off and see what the actual cost per day had been that year. Or, would that only frustrate me more? - For students who buy parking passes, there is a cranky staff administrator who likes to walk around to find grievances. Forget to put your parking pass up one day, and you WILL be reprimanded. Having experienced the school for a number of years now, would I send my kids back if I had to do it all over again? Absolutely not. Not for the amount of money, food prices/quality, or solicitation for money. My kids often say that the school is "just okay" and that their friends in public school seem to have more opportunities. When I went to public high school, I had such fond memories of the opportunities, like shop, driver's education, indoor swimming pool/team, and so much more. Plus, it is already paid for by my taxes. I'm not saying that Saint Dominic is a bad place. The high tuition costs, constant donation solicitations, ridiculous cafeteria costs, and registration fees are disappointing, especially in this economy. With public school, I found that I could still keep my faith (which I cherish) and go to church on Sunday.

Fort Zumwalt is really great in education, which is exactly what you want in your life, but if you…read morewant a safe environment for your children this is the exact opposite. This school will do everything to protect themselves and nothing to protect your children. They will scare your kid into being silent when abused and bullied, and convince them to stay in school despite it affecting their mental health. This isn't because they're going to help your kids get through it, this is to protect their numbers so nobody finds out how awful it really is there. To anyone student from East, I wish you luck, and to any supervisor or staff member, I am extremely disappointed in how low you will stoop, and the danger you are putting these kids in.

Hello Fort Zumwalt School District…read more Hello, I would like to inform you about the Friday coming up. I think that we should take the day off of Friday because I think it's just a wast of a school day of children's waking up on a cold Friday and 3-6am just to go to school and get made fun of by a bunch of teens. Also, it's really cold outside and to honor my dog and fish because my dog's feet got frozen off and my fish bowl got frozen ( it is dead ) as well as the children standing outside in the freezing cold and waiting 5 minutes just for the bus to pick them up, Hypothermia can develop in as little as five minutes in temperatures of 20 - 30 degrees Fahrenheit if you're not dressed properly and have exposed skin. Half the teens at school where booty shorts and crop tops. also find it weird that you're letting unsupervised children onto busses. About 20% of the school have a guardian by them at the bus stop so I find that there can be some child endangerment going around. I will drop my 1 star to an 5 if you let these kids off friday.
