This is a large middle school. It has 2 levels . The…read morefirst level has principle office, nurse office, assistant principal office, library, lunch room, classroom and gymnasium. The downstairs has classroom and science lab. Also, the health room, art room, Home Ec. Room , the PLTW classroom are also located down here. This school combined students who are from many elementary schools in the district. They have 7 and 8 grade. Each grade belongs to each side of school. The hallway has a line in the middle to help students to travel safely from one class to another. The teachers are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. In some classes, teachers give students second chances to retake tests to improve their grades. Hot lunch is available for all students with reasonable prices. They also have a snack room full of delicious and reasonably priced snacks. The majority students are taking the bus to school. There's an police officer on site during school time. After they finished 8th grade, many students go to different high school based on their home location (such as Bartlett High School, South Elgin High School ) to continue their education and fulfill their goals.

First year at this school and my kids love it! They are both so much better behaved and have…read morelearned a lot during their first year here. The principal, Mrs. Mitchell, is a firm and fair principal that knows how to run a school well. She addresses any problems with any student and makes sure they are performing as they should at school. All the teachers are well trained, patient, and experienced. Mrs. Olsen (3rd Grade) has helped my son immensely with his academics as well as shaping him to be a great student! Mrs. Morawski and Mrs. Pozezinski (Kindergarten) have taught my daughter quite a bit and she is a much smarter girl because of it! The school is well maintained and they teach the Roman Catholic faith quite thoroughly as well. I am very satisfied with St. Mary School and recommend to anyone who wants a quality education both academically and spiritually to enroll their children here. A+++

My daughter received a grant to attend this school. What I thought would be a great opportunity for…read moremy daughter, turned out to be a nightmare. If you are a minority, specifically a Black person, you and your child would not be treated like other races. Their rules are broken for "non-Blacks" but a Black person is expected to follow them at all times. You and your child would be made to feel uncomfortable and bringing the issue to the staff only makes you feel more ostracized. I have been strongly considering sending my daughter back to public school. They claim to be more advanced in their studies than a public school, but my daughter is reading a book that she read in Public School three years ago. I am so disappointed in myself for choosing this school. The way that I feel treated by them is not against the law, but I do feel that it is a moral issue. Is this really the Catholic faith?

This school is absolutely wonderful!

Now, I dont know if this is just because it is a Catholic school or what, but it is sooo CLEAR that the teachers INVEST themselves into the children there. I'd be willing to bet the public school children do not receive the same amount of attention and love and understanding and CARE that this school gives to it's children- regardless of whether or not they are Catholic, or if they are a child with "Special needs" or whatever. This school loves it's children, it is so clear. This school is absolutely on the up and up - you can see it in their rapidly growing enrollement numbers.
