I have multiple children currently enrolled at St. Mary school. The current EDUCATIONAL staff are wonderful. Unfortunately, the parish staff that have ultimate say of the school (due to the chain of command in the catholic school system) are poor communicators and ineffective at managing an educational program. There has been a high turnover of administrative staff after the current priests posting apparently due to resignation and/or refusal to renew the contract (in the case of the current Principal Mrs. Ford). The priest seems not to care for the consideration of the educators or current families enrolled when making drastic organizational changes to the school. My children have never been more sickly than they have been since attending this school, which leads me to question the cleanliness of the environment and quality of the air supply. If you had asked me a year ago if this school was worth considering I would whole heartedly agree, I STRONGLY advise any families that value transparency from administrators, support from the hierarchy of the school system, consideration for consistency in educational modalities for their children to find a different educational home for their children.

I have attempted numerous times to get my child in this school. I have been met with excuse after excuse and was unsuccessful. I am not sure what the issue may be as we are Catholic and would like our child to attend a parochial school. The director at this location is not very friendly nor was she helpful in my many attempts to enroll my child.

St. Mary prepared my daughter for high school at Watterson. She is a senior and is doing very well. I am grateful she was able to attend a Catholic school from St. Mary preschool to 12th grade. Her faith is very important to her and she is looking at attending a Catholic college. The staff at St. Mary not only prepared her academically, but guided her in the right direction spiritually. Her dad and I have been so proud of the decisions she has made throughout her life. I love working at St. Mary and am thankful my daughter attended this school.

We have been at St. Mary for 11 years and have loved the support and education we have received from the teachers and staff. I recommend St. Mary to all my family and friend.
