I am a former student at ICCS and I was more than happy to escape this school. Their dress code is ridiculous and their uniforms are some of the ugliest I've ever seen. They are also very expensive. Fifty-five dollars for a used sweater is ridiculous. Their choir program is not good. The teachers also have favorites and so do the sports coaches. The same students are always chosen for sports team captains and lead roles in theatre class. Their school lunches are disgusting. Their pizza once made my friend sick. Students are assigned a very large amount of homework and teachers from other classes almost never check how much homework students have already been assigned. I was bullied at ICCS and the teachers took the bully's side and did almost nothing about the bullying. I would not recommend ICCS to anyone. I have been to many Catholic schools and this one is for sure the worst. I do not believe they are teaching as Jesus taught.

I rate my experience at this school 5 stars. The staff, teachers, and students are all so amazing. The curriculum there is outstanding, and they teach very valuable lessons. I am currently a sixth-grader, and I believe this school is a great school if you want your child to have a christ-centered, academic environment! I am so grateful I go to this beautiful school. I don't know what I would do without their encouragement, love, and faith. Keep your eyes on Jesus; our theme for this school year. It shows me that you should always focus on Jesus. Whether it's practicing for sports, learning in class, sitting in the lunchroom, or even talking to friends. I hope you consider Immaculate Conception to be your child's next school!

Immaculate Conception Catholic School employs excellent teachers with an expansive set of education skills and backgrounds from all across the country. There are teachers from New York and the Philippines and even a professional cellist who teaches string orchestra. This is rare for a small school of around 250 students. I appreciate the Christ-centered environment provided for my children. It is a school where Christian values are front and center, not buried beneath numerous other "more important" goals. The academics are great too and the school often wins top marks in numerous academic events.There are always areas of improvement at any school, and I there are things I wish ICCS could do better, but all-in-all it is a great school with reasonable tuition and fantastic teachers and staff.

This school employs both outstanding and mediocre educators. While one of the best teachers strives to 'teach to the highest student', another is found asleep with a full classroom of students. The administrator is a great 'salesman', and has proven on several occasions, to utilize staff and students alike to maintain her employment and ensure her position, without regard for their well-being. The curriculum is fair at best, and produces minimal results. Students with disabilities lack the support required-not due to their educators, but due to the lack of enough sufficient, qualified staff, instruction time and resources. The campus also utilizes PSIA competition results and honors won by a small few, to further boost enrollment. This same competition is so vital to the administration, that a great amount of actual instruction time is taken from the students as a whole, and staff are required to take away subject area time in order to incorporate PSIA. It is genuinely a school bursting with Catholic faith, but truly lacks vision and pediological leadership. After much consideration and our own previous involvement with ICCS, our decision was to look elsewhere.

Recently I had the opportunity to do some substitute teaching for the ICCS and I found the school community to be the warm, loving and overall an excellent educational environment. The teachers are full of passion, professionalism, affection, and have a nurturing spirit towards their students and colleagues. The commitment, hard work of the Faculty and Staff and the proactive leadership and dedication of the principal, Mrs. Elaine Schad, is what makes the Our Lady's school into a successful Community of Faith and Education. I was once a member of Texas Catholic Conference Education Department (TCCED) Accreditation Visiting Team and I wouldn't have hesitated to rate the ICCS Excellent. It is a great school to be at and completely worth the investment for a child's education. I would highly recommend parents consider this school if they want to provide their children with a holistic excellent private school education along with the freedom to pray and learn substantial solid Christian values.

We have attended Immaculate Conception Catholic School (ICCS) for many years and could not happier with the staff, the cirriculum, the facilities, and the church community surrounding this small school. We looked into many local schools in the Dallas and Ft Worth dioceses and ICCS not only has one of the best tuition rates, but it also has the rare opportunity to be spiritually supported by three local parishes. My children have thrived at this school both academically and spiritually. There are usually around 250 students in pre-k through 8th so the class sizes are small enough that each student receives the attention they need. I can only hope that this school or some other in the Denton community will expand to include a high school in the near future.

We have attended Immaculate Conception for over 5 years and have been more than pleased with the principle, the teachers and the staff. It is obvious that the principle works above and beyond her duty to ensure the sound education and safety of all students. She loves these kids! The teachers truly love their vocation of teaching and generously give their time to every student and we have found them to be well qualified in education and experience. The family environment is fantastic and all parents are looking out for each other and their children. Love and discipleship are alive at ICCS and we are blessed to be apart of this school!

ICCS is a fantastic school. I have never been happier with a privet school. This is my 3rd school, to send my kids to. This will be the last change in location of schooling. So happy here. The teachers are incredible. The one on one with the kids, is outstanding. Love it I give it 10 stars
