We chose Manhattan Catholic Schools for the small class sizes and high test scores. However, we have also loved the relational aspect of the community, as well as seeing our kids develop a moral compass and leadership skills.

I am a firm believer in faith based education. I chose to pay tuition and expected a great, quality education with caring and compassionate teachers .Unfortunately that was not my experience at MCS. Quality of education was not what I expected from a private school.I must say that I did appreciate small class sizes and the fact that bullying was not an issue for my kids in this school.I chose not to return my kids to MCS even though we still live in the area. So many factors went into this decision .My advice to parents is that to visit the schools you are interested and talk with teachers and adminstrators. Talk to parents that are from the area, and also parents that are new to the area . Do your research and that is my honest opinion .

Our decision to send our kids to MCS has been fantastic. We love the community and family we have become a part of. We enjoy the opportunity to be involved with school activities and committees. The relationships we have formed with the teachers and staff are those that will last forever. The dedication of the teachers is unbelievable. They are all their because they truly believe a faith based education is best. Watching the kids participate in mass several times a week is faith renewing!

My kids who have graduated were very well prepared for high school and my kids who are still there are doing great and testing well. We love the community aspect of going to a school where no one is there by default-- everyone made the inconvenient choice to make the tuition investment in their children. So you have a lot of very involved families who expect a great education for their children. Of course the benefit of going to mass twice a week where the children do the readings and know that the homily is aimed at them cannot be underestimated. They do walk the faith at MCS, not just talk it. Prayer throughout the day, saying the rosary and going to confession, singing religious songs at the Christmas programs... the list goes on and on. Oh and don't forget the uniforms!! Save money and avoid the morning battle of what to wear.

The elementary part of the school is pretty good but sadly the junior high is not. We have been disappointed by the quality of care and teaching in the junior high
