My children have had a wonderful experience at ICA. Both kids have had their needs met by their teachers. The school community has tons of family activities and opportunities to be engaged in my children's learning.

We have had a wonderful experience in the last 4 years. The teachers, students and families are all wonderful. Every program from STEM to CYO to Art and Music is excellent. There are so many clubs to choose from as well. Our kids love this school and they are doing so well!

New administration is very bad. School has horrible bullying problem and they do nothing about it. Leadership also discusses your child’s issues with other parents.

Previously when Mrs. Foley was the principle this was a top notch school, however when she retired 2 years ago the school has been in a constant downward spiral, teachers are leaving and those that are staying are not happy like they once were. Progress reports for the children are no more than what you can get online in option C and unless you specifically ask you do not get any feedback from the teachers on how your child is doing. Also, in K-5 I think they are too focused on teaching technology and have lost focus on reading, writing and math which are core skills for future success. If you want a safe environment this school surely delivers, however you will be sacrificing their education.

My children transferred from public to ICA. Best decision I have made. ICA provides enrichment with hands-on learning while correlating with the state standards on curriculum. The staff and students demonstrate religious values, morals, and an environment of positive learning. I am amazed at the difference in my childrens performance at ICA compared to the public school sector. The tuition is affordable compared to private schools in the area. Private music lessons offered. Spanish begins in 4th grade. One class per grade. The staff is supportive. Trips coordinate with lessons. Several activities throughout the year. Sports offered. Highly recommend to parents.

My child was at the public school before he came to Immaculate Conception Academy & I am so thankful that I made the decision to transfer. The principal, Mrs. Foley, is a big reason why we are at the school. She sets the expectation for the children that they will learn, behave & watch out for one another. The children show discipline in the classroom and respect for adults. Mrs. Foley hands delivers report cards to each student, and because she knows each student by name (and parents, and siblings, ect), she is able to offer each one feedback on their progress. The dedication of the teachers, administrators, staff is admirable. This is definately a school you will want to check out if you are looking for a nurturing, family atmosphere & an academic program targeted at "purposeful learning". I feel my child is getting an excellent, well-rounded education while spending 6+ hours a day around people who help him develop the kind of character any parent would be proud of.

I love Immaculate Conception Academy for my son, who is in first grade! Most of the teacher genuinely care so much about their students and the success of their students. I love that the school is small, because all of the students know each other and help each other out.
