I love this school. My daughter is special needs and started here in kindergarten December 2021…read moreafter realizing that she could not cope with regular kids at a private school with limited resources. Her first day was rough because of the new environment, but after that, she loved this school. She gained confidence, her speech and vocabulary skyrocketed and her social skills improved tremendously. I'm so proud of her and am very grateful for the thoughtful and loving care all the teachers and staff show all the students. From the office manager, Luz, to the lunch team, to the nurse...everyone shows such empathy and care to all the kids. The principal, Erin Fish, is amazing! She really gets it! She very much understands and empathizes with all families who have special needs children and the challenges we face. She is a champion for all the students, whether in special ed or not. I applaud this school for being so exemplary in the way they have shaped the culture of the school and how they support all the students to strive to do their best and to learn from their mistakes and failures. This school is a hidden gem. Any child would be lucky to be here.

Not mention, they do not care about bullying my daughter briefly attended this school. Another girl kept calling her lesbian and spreader rumors. Playground aids knew of this, but nobody mandate reported the abuse. She also made threats to harm my daughter in the bathroom. Then I worked in special Ed, poor kids because they were pushed to do work like the general Ed. I'm talking about writing full essays, multiplication when they barely knew addition, the work load his extremely heavy why is why so many behaviors would occur. One kid threw chairs across the room, because he was frustrated and the teacher couldn't even handle him. Not to mention, there's no sensory room for these autistic kids, not enough music, fun stuff, and the teacher never wanted to listen to advice. I got fired for getting sick, I was bleeding on myself soiling my clothes at work and wore pajama pants a couple of times to hide my problem. My punishment was extreme, I'm no longer allowed to work at any monrovia schools. Also, I went above my job by actually playing with the kids, I made progress that even the teacher didn't cause I got autistic kids to play, I bought coloring books, arts-crafts, my student didn't even have book fair money I paid for his stuff, his family loved me, and so did the other kids I inspired them through art. Their loss!!! Please do not send your special needs children here they don't know what they're doing!

Former student here. I graduated in recent years and figured I'd write a review about my…read moreexperience. First of all, this establishment claims that it "empowers students to be innovative and creative problem solvers." However, this statement completely contradicts what I went through. When I was a freshman in high school, I was placed into an honors math class and felt that I was prepared for the year ahead of me. This honors class was one of the hardest classes I've ever taken even though I had taken the exact same class in eighth grade. My math teacher would often say that "You guys have seen this before" or "You guys should know how to do this from middle school." I didn't. I had no idea what I was doing when I got to high school and felt incredibly behind from all of my peers. The fact that the subject I felt the least prepared in was math coming from a self-proclaimed "STEM Academy" was beyond me. I know my limitations and math was not it. I had all A's in math while attending this school. One of the biggest things I NEVER learned in Algebra I at IC was mean/median/mode. I remember that everyone of my peers in that freshman year Honors Algebra I class already knew this from middle school.

My daughter has been a student here since 2015 and I am so proud to see the young lady she is becoming. My daughter is a happy student and succeeding academically. She is also in sports and other key clubs that the school offers. As a strong leader, our principal has brought forth many new programs to IC like STEM and empowerment classes for our kids. I know that our principal always acts in the best interest of our students and strives to continue to bring great success to Immaculate Conception School. Being part of the IC School family motivates me to be involved because I enjoy the IC community and all that it stands for. I am definitely a proud parent of IC. Lastly, I look forward to my little one starting TK in the fall. The TK/ K teachers a hard-working team who are experienced and provide an outstanding program.
