    This school is amazing! My daughter has been attending since 1st grade. As a military veteran, not…read moreoriginally from Chicago, with little support in regards to my daughter, I was lucky enough to find her a school home that we both trust & love. The teachers, principal, and staff are personable, attentive, and caring. They really know the children and invest on not only their academic comprehension, but shaping them as leaders of tomorrow. My daughter loves that religion is incorporated into her curriculum, and she has been excelling ever since. The principal clearly loves children, and has a zest for parent interactions, and even the parents are engaging, and friendly. When my computer went on the fritz they opened up their teachers lounge to me without a second thought. When your child attends school here, you know you really are investing in their future, that they are safe, and that they are learning from individuals that really go that extra mile. So rare & so needed! Thank you St. Malachy, Principal Bridgette Miller, Ms. Nhou, and Ms. Strouder, to name a few. Honestly, everyone on the staff is appreciated, but I would be writing a term paper, instead of a YELP review if I listed all the amazing people there.

    St. Malachy is a wonderful school. The school offers sports teams, choir, praise dance, spanish,…read moreetc. St. Malachy is like a giant family. The teachers are passionate and very committed to their students. It is a great environment for a child to learn in and I would not have my child go anywhere else!

    I am so upset with the school right now. this school may be "good" but, recently I took my child…read moreto this school and they expected him to act like he was in a palace or something. They made him wear uniforms that are so uncomfortable. And if you take off your tie, you get detention. Even worse is when you go home, you can't take off your tie until you are inside. HEAR ME OUT, THEY LITERALLY HIRE PEOPLE TO GO ON THE BUSES AND MONITOR STUDENTS TO MAKE SURE THEY DON'T TAKE OFF THEIR TIE. This school is the absolute worst. I would not dare take him here again.

    I went to Skinner from kindergarten until 8th grade. I graduated twice from this school and…read morewouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else during my grammar school years. Not only did I have amazing teachers, faculty, and friends; it would such a great school. The faculty did the best they could to make the students' experience different and I think they definitely accomplished that. I would say, and I'm sure most of the people that I graduated with, would say that we absolutely loved our time at this school and would recommend it to anyone out there looking for an amazing school with amazing people teaching their children. Sidenote: I went to the school before this new one was built, but I've been back to visit and this is definitely an accurate picture of what the building looks like. It's beautiful on the inside and out.

Rehak (Chemistry-- not related to the English teacher), and finally Mr. Bruner (Art class & Art Club), who is no longer there, but who has changed my life forever. I think we all have a teacher that really touched us. Who knew that from freshman art, I'd be going to art school instead of journalism school like I first imagined for college. It was all because of Mr. Bruner. He got me my first job working for the city painting a mural, and I've been doing art ever since. So even though I am more in the fashion thing right now, hats are very artistic and sculptural. This is not your typical high school. Academics are very valued here. There are no cliches, at least there really weren't when I went there. I got along with everyone. I was really into art and writing, so I did that, and I had outlets for that through the after-school clubs. The minus was that the kids here were way too focused on learning and partying was sometimes out of the question with some people. Luckily, I had a group of friends from grade school that I let loose with. When you're doing Honors and AP classes, you need to balance that with a healthy dose of partying.
