Homework Does this…read moreschool have an effective approach to homework? There is no homework. I don't have a problem with this if there were clear communication channels around progress. There is not. Teachers Are teachers at this school effective? The school admits students with clear identifiable needs without putting in place the proper supports for them. As such there are strong behavioral outbursts that are a consistent distraction from learning and create unsafe environments for peers. Teachers are left dealing with behavioral issues instead of teaching. Character Does this school develop strong character in its students? Our son was relentlessly bullied by a student who is still there. When the student moved into another classroom the following year the same situation began with those students. Half the board pulled their kids out of school as did we. This child was threatening to bring a gun to school and was pointing at who he planned on shooting. The administration was notified and he was back at school the next morning as if nothing happened. That was one of many incidents. The fact that 5 families pulled their children, families who were active board members and large donors should tell you enough. Save yourself the aggravation. When you are looking for a quality private school I encourage you to pass this one over. Leadership Does this school have effective leadership? The leadership accepts students as they apply. They are looking to fill seats as the school itself is under financial strains. They have combined classes and eliminated "specials" to attempt to remedy this. The multi age classroom will be sold to you as a model they stand behind but I assure you it is simply because enrollment is down because of its reputation and they have had no choice but to combine classes. Learning Differences Does this school effectively support students with learning differences? They will admit students with any learning difference but that is where it ends. No supports are put in place that are specific to any need. The lack of supports leads to frustrated students and distracting behavioral outbursts that are not only distracting to other students but they detract from the learning process. Bullying Does this school effectively deal with bullying? Please see my above statement. It is outrageous what happens in this school around bullying. Children were staying home and missing school because of the severe anxiety that was induced by the behaviors of other children that were explained away and minimized. It has been 2 years since we left and I am still working to undo the emotional damage my son went through while attending that school. The other numerous families that left are all in the same boat. Systemic bullying changes the fabric of who you are. School should be a safe space. Particularly a private school that states clear guidelines around bullying. The issue is they don't stand behind them.

I was challenged, inspired, and encouraged throughout my journey there in ways I wouldn't have been in a traditional high school. The health services shop is exceptional and precise. The extracurricular and skillsusa competitions are a great add-on. The teachers truly truly care about the success of each student and how they learn individually. In my class, cliques weren't so much of an issue and everyone pretty much got along. It felt safe and was a comfortable environment to learn and grow in. I felt totally prepared for college or a career.

I sent my daughter to Holy Name for her Freshman year. We decided to not send her to our local…read morehigh school. I thought that Holy Name would give her (and us) a good experience but we did not get what we paid for. In the beginning of the year we were delighted to be told (in a formal new-parents meeting in the auditorium) that the adminsitration would not let us down, that "they would let us know of problems before our child let us know". It seemed so reassuring but as the year went on and problems arose with our daughter's studies, they negated to tell us anything. It wasn't until a report card where we had to ask for help. Long story short: I had to go back to them numerous times to ask that something done about the math class that was not right for my daughter. They committed to making changes but in the end let me down and my daughter fail. For their unresponsivness to my needs, and failing to meet their commitment to us as parents, I FAIL THEM. They got my money for the year, and my daughter didn't get the education I paid for. We are not sending our daughter back. After we told the school that we were pulling out our daughter, I was so surprised that we never got a call back from the adminstration, asking what happened... nothing! I was so frustrated at this apparent neglect on their part so I called the headmaster to ask "why didn't you want to know why we were unhappy?". He listened to me and simply thanked me for the feedback... no "I'm sorry for taking your money and not delivering", no I did not get that reponse. Beware. If you are looking for a school to deliver a top-notch education with structured discipline and a grounded Catholic background look elsewhere.

The teachers seem to be above average for a high school - they seem to be worked to death but they still do a great job educating the kids.
