I have a child enrolled in St. Elizabeth School and only wish that I had learned of the quality education offered prior to my other children completing their elementary education. I have find that the curriculum is good and on par with other school. There is a great deal of emphasis placed on discipline; however I have found the practices to be very fair. There is a strong leadership in place who is making every effort to continue to make the school a wonderful environment that is conducive for learning. I like the small class sizes which allow my child opportunity for one-on-one communication and instruction with her instructors. I also like that my child is given a weekly syllabus, which hold her accountable for the assignments even if misses daily instruction. This is a small school however the extracurricular activities offered are above those of some of the larger school. My child has been exposed to cultural events, currently taking drumming lessons, and vocal lessons through participation with the children choir. I agree there is some room for improvement, however this is true of many schools and exclulsive to just St. Elizabeth.

This school was not a good fit for me and my children. There are not enough qualified teachers there. My child's teacher is very stubborn and not at all progressive. She teaches all the children as if they learn the same, and it puts them at a disadvantage. This can be said for many of the teachers at St. Elizabeth. The preschool teachers are not really teachers at all. They often act like glorified babysitters who do not know how to effectively teach the students. My child brings home a different letter/number every day. Where is the consistency? Moreover, the forms of discipline used in this school are not always favorable or discussed with the parents. Initially, there was a family atmosphere at St. Elizabeth. The minute you challenge their methods, the atmosphere turns a bit cold, and, like a previous parent stated, you become black listed.

Get your kid out of this school, before it is too late. This school has lost the value of a good education. The focus is on money. If you are not in the click you won't get far in this school. It's time for a change now. New a;ll new staffing, in this school everyone is related. It's a family affair. If you speak out about what is right, your child will be black listed.
