It's definitely a great place for students! We all want best for our kids and St.Gabes is definitely a school for us.

I've been at Saint Gabriel School for over 11 years. I'm currently in seventh grade and graduating next year. I will say, it is an overall good school. There are good teachers although, some can overall stress the students with homework. I see lots of parents writing how good the school is but they aren't in the classroom, learning every day. The school has good protection with locked doors and a police officer. There are lots of extracurricular activities that your child can do. There have been certain cases where students have brought unsafe objects onto the perimeter. The school has a counselor and people to help students who might be struggling in certain areas of learning. The food is okay but doesn't always give a fair amount. The bathrooms especially in the middle school and jr kindergarten bathrooms aren't always clean as there is stuff everywhere. Overall, I recommend this school.

I love this school so much! It makes me focus more and it doesn't make me rush anymore.

We are extremely pleased with the education our children have been receiving through St. Gabriel School. Our oldest daughter is thriving at NDCL due to her foundation of good study habits. Her teachers at St. Gabriel pushed her to strive for excellence in academics. Our other two children are currently having the same positive experience. Even through this pandemic, St. Gabriel School has gone above and beyond to bring our children the best academic and spiritual growth possible. My husband and I are so grateful for the many blessings our children receive from being students at St. Gabriel School!

We are very pleased with St. Gabriel School. Having transferred out of public schools, our child now looks forward to attending school and comes home smiling.

I would give St. Gabriel 5 Stars across the board. They have served our family and community well.

Does not focus on academics. Behind local public schools. Poor transparency and communication. Beautiful facilities. Some teachers seem mediocre / uninterested.

We were very pleased with the learning experience. However, the bullying was enough to cause us to leave. I can put those funds toward extra curricular activities and additional learning. Since in the public school, his countenance has returned, he's back achieving accelerated learning and he is HAPPY.

I truly cannot express how terrible this school really is. My child had the worst few years of her life here, and I am not a parent who is always on my child's side. If she ever did something wrong, I would only be thankful that the school helped teach her to be kinder, more considerate etc. I am an educator myself, and understand the constant battle with parents. So please know this before judging my review!!My daughter went through four years of constant torment, and cruelty from other students. This school likes to call itself "Christian" but the majority of the teachers do not care, and if your child is slightly different than other kids, they will be teased and receive absolutely no understanding from staff. I went to administration several times and they refused to even admit to a problem existing. I found that you are only truly important to staff if you have lots of money in your bank account or donate lots of money to the school. Please do not put your child through what mine went through. Any other school is a better option.

St Gabriel learning loft preschool. I highly recommend this school to anyone who is looking for preschool for there little one. My daughter is in her 2nd year at the learning loft. The first year we had Mrs. Pejak she was amazing and so was her aid Mrs. Aveni. My daughter loved them so much. There curriculum is very good and focuses on more than I would have thought she was ready for. But what she learned was so amazing to me. Not to mention her 4 year old program this year. Mrs Adams is so good. They focus on getting the children ready for kindergarten and my daughter I feel is very prepared. She also is taking Spanish this year which is so amazing. I love she is learning a language already. These children are sponges and the more they learn the better prepared they will be. I can not rave enough about how wonderful this school is. MI'm so impressed my daughter will be attending St Gabriels K-8 Program I'm so in love with how much they care and stay in touch with the parents. Thank you St Gabriel!

My daughter has gone to the learning loft preschool for 2 years and now is in Kindegarten at St. Gabes. she is so anxious to go to school everyday she loves each class. From Spanish to Art to Gym each day there is a variety and still a ton of learning. The teachers are very responsive and accommodating the principal is top notch and Father Fred is a great leader
