A big NO. This school has taken my children's shining light and completely put it out. They used to love learning. They used to love going to school. Now? They hate school and don't want to go. How did St. Mark's do this? Last year, they lost teachers and apparently the Principal was caught off guard completely. They hired a 6th grade teacher who has zero teaching experience and isn't Catholic. 2 main requirements to teach at a Catholic school. Our middle schooler calls his classes with this teacher "Study Hall" where they play video games on their computers and have learned nothing all year. My 4th grader is sitting around and doing workbooks all day and a packet of homework for Monday that she finishes within 30 minutes and then nothing. Literally learning nothing. My middle schooler has a middle school math teacher who decides to give so much homework every night that the students hate math now. Job well done everyone. And you have to ask yourself: why pay for this?

academically inexcusable. After two years here my child is 1 1/2 years behind but they were going to progress him to the next grade anyway. We paid a LOT of money for them to teach my child and they obviously did not do what we paid them to do, and they do not care about the child's well-being, just about getting another years tuition money.

Excellent; couldn't be happier with the education our child is receiving.

A wonderful school. Great scores, and faith and a great community. Lots of volunteer opportunities for families and lots of opportunities for kids to excel.

My children attended this school in the 2009-2010 school year. This is a wonderful Catholic school. It was a privilege to be a part of the St. Mark's family and the church community. The teachers are great, and the principal is awesome! My kids received an outstanding education here, and there is no comparison. We had to move back to California due to a family illness, otherwise we would have stayed at this school. No question about it. If you are looking for a quality CATHOLIC education, look no further than St. Mark's School.
