St. Lucy's integrates compassion into their teaching standards, emphasizes the importance of values, and builds leaders through each of their classes and lessons. Though it is a small High School, it allows for a lower student to teacher ratio, giving the girls more confidence when asking questions, engage in group activities, and opportunities for one-on-one time with the teachers. Teachers are passionate about seeing their students succeed. They are so great about sharing moments of pride they see within your daughter- their good behaviors and achievements; and they know the importance of getting the parents involved should an issue arise, and do it in a very respectful, approachable manner.

She's grown into an exceptional young woman with aspirations to pursue a career in medicine. The school offers a variety of courses and sports programs which challenge the girls in their own way.

Thank you St. Lucy's for the support you've shown and for preparing my daughter these last three years for what's next!

I am writing to express my deep disappointment regarding the decision to deny my son admission to…read moreFoothill Christian School's kindergarten program. As you know, my son successfully attended Foothill Christian Preschool, where his Pre-K teacher formally documented that he was fully prepared for kindergarten. During our recent meeting, however, administration (Joy & Mr. G) indicated that he was not ready due to unspecified developmental concerns, and advised us to seek a public school evaluation. Following their recommendation, we immediately had my son evaluated by a licensed Occupational Therapist. The specialist confirmed that his development is entirely within the normal range for his age, noting that public school intervention would not even be applicable. It is disheartening to experience such a significant disconnect between your preschool's curriculum preparation and your elementary school's admissions standards. Given our family's long-standing support of and relationship with the school, we expected a more collaborative, accurate, and supportive approach. While we have decided to pursue his education in an environment better suited to support him, we sincerely hope FCS reviews its evaluation process to prevent other families from enduring a similar experience

After 2.5 years at this school, I am ultimately relieved that my family is no longer part of this…read morecommunity. Prior to our family being asked to leave on January 28, 2025, my children had already completed shadow days at neighboring schools in early December. While the academics at this school are rigorous and they pride themselves on being a year ahead, the workload had become increasingly stressful for my oldest child. I began to feel that the expectations were no longer a healthy fit for her, and paying for outside academic support on top of tuition was not something our family could continue long-term. I would like to sincerely thank the families who reached out to us with genuine concern during this time. Several people contacted Mrs. Ossa and Fr. Richard to express their concern regarding how our situation was handled, and that support meant so much. Unfortunately, the reason our family was asked to leave, was due to a rumor created by two mothers . According to Mrs. Ossa, it was claimed that I had spread this rumor to other families. When I challenged the accusation on the Band app, (not mentioning what the rumor was) many parents surprised and said they had not heard of any rumor. What is especially concerning is that before this rumor was ever brought to administration, I had already informed Mrs. Ossa that I had heard two individuals were attempting to start a rumor involving me. Despite that conversation, no action was taken at the time. For clarity, I never accused nor implied that any individual was involved in an inappropriate relationship with a married man. In fact, weeks before the accusation surfaced, one of the mothers involved had asked me to support her in a custody matter regarding her child. I was initially under the impression that she was asking for a character reference letter. However, the request later changed to providing a statement against her ex-husband in court. I declined to participate in that. Shortly after, the allegation against me was reported to the school. When administration contacted me about the accusation, I firmly denied it and reminded them that I had previously brought concerns about this rumor to their attention. Despite this, my family was given three business days to remove our children from the school. This situation was extremely stressful and unfair to my children. They are kind, caring students who had no behavioral issues. While the experience was painful, I had already begun to recognize that this academic environment was not the right fit for my children. What made the transition even more stressful was that when other schools contacted the administration for recommendations in the middle of the school year, the feedback provided created additional challenges for our family. My goal has always been to provide my children with the same Christ-centered education that I experienced growing up. Unfortunately, this experience with the administration deeply shook that trust. As for those mothers, you know who you are, and you are despicable. Though time has passed, I am still appalled that my family was asked to leave on a lie you created. It is terrible that refusing to do something, resulted in your vengeance. You made this rumor up knowing it could have had damaging consequences for the mentioned family. I am sharing this now because I always intended to speak openly about what happened so other families can make informed decisions about the environment they are placing their children in. Despite everything that happened, I remain hopeful that schools rooted in faith can lead with fairness, compassion, and integrity.

The school breathes it's faith with service projects like Double Bag Lunch, the Winter Shelter, blanket/shoe drives to name a few. The school offers many extra classes to expand the students horizons and also provide support for those who are falling behind. The extracurricular activities aren't limited to sports. They have many academic and service focused clubs and also have an amazing drama program that puts on musicals twice a year. Father Rich and Mrs Marquez are extremely dedicated and their commitment to the schools mission statement is unwavering. My family was welcomed with open arms from the beginning and have grown to consider the HNM parish and school family as my own. Many families come from 10+ miles away to be a part of this wonderful community. The school could improve in a few areas mainly in incorporating modern day conveniences that help working parents balance their responsibilities (online payments, more consistent communication and fundraising credit for SCRIP overage purchases). The school should also consider doubling up on some of its classes to lower the student:teacher ratio as it begins it's expected renovation/expansion project.

As a parent deeply invested in my child's education and moral development, I am compelled to share…read moremy disappointing experience with Holy Name of Mary. This school fails to uphold the fundamental principles of Catholicism, mistreats students, and prioritizes financial gain over the well-being of children. The school's administration and staff consistently fail to embody the teachings of compassion, empathy, and respect. Instead, they foster an environment of mistreatment and neglect towards students. My interactions with the school have revealed a disturbing pattern of prioritizing money and donations above all else. It is evident that Holy Name of Mary is more concerned with financial gain than providing a nurturing and supportive environment for students to thrive academically and emotionally. The principal, in particular, is a prime example of the school's shortcomings. Not only does the principal fail to lead by example, but also actively contribute to the mistreatment of students. It is disheartening to witness a lack of accountability and a willingness to protect staff members at the expense of the well-being of children. As a parent, it is clear to me that Holy Name of Mary does not genuinely care about the education or welfare of its students. I urge fellow parents to reconsider enrolling their children in this institution, as it fails to fulfill its promise of providing a Catholic education rooted in love and compassion. In conclusion, Holy Name of Mary falls short of its obligation to uphold Catholic values and provide a safe, nurturing environment for students. It is evident that the school's priorities lie elsewhere, and I cannot in good conscience recommend it to other families seeking a truly enriching educational experience for their children. PLEASE BE AWARE ALL PARENTS!!!
