St Mary’s Catholic Elementary School

I’ve been part of st marys school for a long time. My oldest is now attending a university. My oldest attend St Marys from kindergarten to seventh grade. Since then the rest of my kids have attend till present. Our experience dealing with teachers has not always been easy. Not all the teachers through the years have been qualified to teach, but as parents we have delt with the problems and disagreements with the teachers and have come to a positive solutions. Ms Martin the 4^th grade teacher. well for those of you who know her, she is one of the best and most caring teachers I’ve have ever met. She cares about her students and the future of the school. She is strict and her classroom curriculum is hard. This is what our kids need to get them ready for the real world. Not a nice and everyone wins attitude teacher. She is also the only teacher that has stayed loyal to St MARYS
The Catholic education our kids have are receiving is second to none. They come out prepared and ready to tackle on high school with a strong educational and religious foundation.
The principals have also not been, the perfect principals but most of the time when it comes to the class room curriculum they have worked with the parents. The one complaint that has existed since day one is how the principles tolerate and cater to the few disrespectful, rude and bulling kids. I don’t know if it’s about the tuition money the parents pay or because they the principles have been sisters and really think they can help those few kids. I understand every child deserves a second chance but two and three etc. is just to many. One kids unruly and disrespect in the classroom affects the whole class. By keeping them in private schools and not having the proper tools to help the children they are only being held back and hurting them in the long run. Some children do better in public school were they could receive the proper help for
them and their parents and in the long run they excel with the proper guidance and professional help. Instead of just passing the child to the next grade when the child is not prepared. In the private and public school systems to many children are passed to higher grades to make and fill the numbers.
