St. Mary's school has been a great and nurturing school for our children, especially in the early…read moreyears of schooling. It has small class sizes, teachers who get to know and support your kids, and a positive upbeat culture (kid-wise), as well as a good group of parents.

To preface, I attended this school from grades 4-8 (2010-2014), so it may have changed since then,…read morehowever I still feel the need to disclose my experience to any potential students and parents. The education I received at this school was subpar at best. When I began attending a public high school, I was behind, especially in math. Many of the teachers at the school were cruel and short tempered, for example I remember the preschool teachers yelling at the toddlers when they grew impatient. The after school care program was under supervised and dangerous. I remember protecting young children from being hit in the head with flying basketballs, and keeping them out of the unsupervised trouble they would have gotten into. I remember in one instance a child around 4-5 fell and inverted his elbow. it took several minutes to attract the attention of the adult who was meant to be supervising him. Moving away from the negligence and back to the subpar education, the seventh and eighth grade teacher who taught at the school for many years was under qualified and should have been fired many, many times (to my knowledge she has recently retired). We were publicly embarrassed in front of the class for low grades on projects and essays, which lead to severe stress for my friends and me. I have not felt such severe stress doing anything as I did attending school every day for those last two years. Our grades did not depend on our skill level, but rather how much that teacher liked us. She frequently lashed out and screamed at students bringing them to the point of tears for trivial reasons. We were not "bad", nobody misbehaved because we were terrified of the embarrassment, it was always over something academic, which is ridiculous. You should not punish a kid for failing, you should teach them how to do better. Our lessons revolved heavily around religion most days, which may seem like a good thing to many religious folks out there, however, I feel that I was robbed of the education my parents payed thousands for.
