I went to this school and I am so glad that I am out. I never had a problem anywhere else, but the first day of school in this place I got introuble. I was already named as one of the "bad kids" The teachers treated me as if I was a mental case. I was picked on by students, which the teachers didn't do anything but blamed it on me. I got so fed up, that I started to stand up for myself and I would not allow other people to push me around and to pick on me. My mother was sent to the office everyday, and she quickly defended me, I was the one coming home with bruises not the other kids. So why was I the "bad one"? Do not go to the school! Horrible!!!

I would not recommend anyone bring their child to this school. I found out something so disturbing today. My younger brother, who never did anything wrong and who is well discipline, was not able to go to his 8th grade trip, only because a group of parents felt that he should not be associated with their kids. Now, for a child who is very smart in math, very kind to his mother and people around him, was being attacked by these people who don't even know him. He is new to the school and for some reason he was quickly outcasted, not by the students, by the lazy parents who needs to gossip and pick on my younger brother. Now I do not know why the school would allow this to happen. For a young child who is only 13, to be outcasted due to parents who still think they are in elementary school. Imagine telling your kid that they cant go on their trip, their 8th grade dance nor participate in their school play because he might be gossiped about these parents, only because he is different. He is different because he doesn't misbehave and he has his own mind. He rather study than getting into trouble. This school is disgusting.

Academically this school sets very high standards and students work hard. The positive, supportive atmosphere that pervades every activity in this school is amazing! Catholic Christianity is not just a subject here-it is an attitude. The incentive here and the rewards come from hard work but also being caring people which is so needed these days.
Extracurricular, school plays and sports are another chance for this school to do what it does best - inspiring kids to find the best part of themselves and share it with the world.
