    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!

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.

    I am teacher at this school and I'm writing this review from that perspective…read more I worked here part-time for a couple years (2011-13) when the school was still very young and in it's initial location. It was a positive and supportive place then. I returned in the fall of 2019 and I have never been happier and felt more supported in any work environment. I am so glad to have come back. With the time away, I can readily see how the school has grown and improved. I have never worked at an educational institution that is so deeply committed to equity and inclusion, where the entire faculty is actively, enthusiastically, and humbly engaged in discussions around that. My understanding and appreciation of the world is being nourished here. I have been supported with funding for many professional development workshops. I have been regularly supported by my colleagues, who really support each other with positive energy, ideas, discussions, brain storming, helping hands, and challenging each other to strive for better and better. At the heart of it all is a focus on the children and the understanding that we are the best teachers when we are supported day-to-day and in professional development, and when we are growing as human beings and striving as much as we ask the children to do.

    what an amazing place to bring a child from the teacher to the students themselves...I love this…read moreschool and alw will
