They need a lot of improvements starting with their Principal to the staff. Very supremacist and cold. They are pretending that theh will treat your child like a family but the truth, they would not. Please think multiple times if you want to send your kids to this pretend home of God.

DO NOT send your child here if they have even the slightest trouble paying attention or fidgeting. Any kind of learning struggles and they will be made to feel like less than every single day. Bullying isn't dealt with because it is usually being done by staff members and teachers. I would not recommend this school and my family has had a lot of years under our belt at Annunciation.

Love this school. Small enough to give individual attention to each child and large enough to provide strong academics. This is our third year at Annunciation Catholic School and we would not want to be anywhere else.

Acs is an amazing school. The teachers are all patient and adaptable to different learning styles and struggles. My kids will continue to go hear as they all become of age

My son had a great experience and has kept friends for many years. The teachers teach individuality and responsibility. They really bring out their talents and treasures.

We love ACS, don't be fooled by bad reviews, if you get notes home or letters home about behavior or learning challenges - it is not for lack of trying on their part to work with your child(ren). They go far above and beyond to make sure every kid is in the right learning environment, they are safe, nurtured and supported. If you want a rigorous education that opens doors, then this is the school! We have found you MUST be an involved parent though. Parents who are not involved will be dissatisfied. It is an equal partnership as it should be. You're paying tuition for a great education, but that doesn't mean you won;t play a huge part. We have been here since 2nd grade for my son after trying 3 public schools and one other private school - none compare. My kids have converted to being Catholic due to the love and support this school and parish have provided.

My child went to VPK at this school. We had him previously in a mothers day out program and we occasionally would have issues with his behaviour. When our child started Vpk at Annunciation we constantly received emails from the teacher saying he has not behaving. He had pushed some children and wasn't listening to the teacher. He was not being the BEST child but his teacher didn't know how to handle a headstrong child. She immediately schedule a meeting with her, the principal and a counselors. The counselors never said a word just sat they're taking notes as if my child was a 10th grader who was constantly fighting kids and doing drugs. My child would come home everyday HATING SCHOOL. He said some kids was bullying him but yet all we heard from the teacher was what He was doing. A second meeting was scheduled with the teacher, principal and the counselor (once again didn't say a word). Principal asked us to pray with her and then after that basically said my child wasn't aloud to come back. We asked for more time for my child to prove himself which they gave a week. It seemed that was a mistake asking for more time and next day we received a letter from the teacher stating my child tore up a bulletin board and she even included paper from the board in pieces. MY CHILD NEVER EVER DID ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE. This school was far from Catholic as it seems if your child is not perfectly behaved, you're not welcome. They offered no solutions such as us coming to sit with him or transferring him to another class. Now he is AFRAID to go back to school as he doesn't wish to have the same experience.

I do not know other schools first hand. ACS was our first choice because my husband & I were both brought up with Catholic educations. We may not be the best parents, but we understand the importance of prayer. I may not be as well behaved as my children (ok, it's not even close!), but I try to share agape. Why am I sharing this?! I feared, 5 years ago, becoming part of this school community ... that we wouldn't fit "the mold" ... that we weren't "private school material" ... and I can honestly say that there is no mold. Our school has teachers and staff that go out of their way to keep us informed & reassured that our kids are in the best hands possible. We have volunteers who give of their time because they want to see the school excel & the kids have fun. I have formed bonds with families who have improved my life with their presence. I come away from school events feeling loved & affirmed in our choice for our 3 children.

Dear Parents, Thank you for considering Annunciation Catholic School. At ACS we seek to educate the whole child in concert with our parents. Our academics strive for excellence while still including "extras" like Spanish, music, art, and PE for all students. We are a 21st Century school that has not lost sight of the essential fundamentals. Our greatest fundamental, of course, are the values we help you to foster in your children. I hope you will email or call for a tour. May God bless and keep you. J. Mullarkey, principal

We are looking forward to the start of another school year. My daughters can't wait to get back to their friends and their teachers. My fifth grader is a little nervous about going to the upper building, but she can't wait to try out for basketball (she's been practicing her dribbling.) If you want a great academic school with a great atmosphere, this place is it!

This has been our first year at Annunciation and we love it. Our son is excited each day to go to Mrs. Kenny's kindergarten class. He has made great friends and we have seen noticeable progress in his learning and behavior. Oh and he loves Run-Walk Club and we have found that parents are very friendly. Annunciation is a great Christian place and we plan to be here for the duration.

Annunciation is like an extension of my family. I have had two children at the school and one is graduating this year to go to BJS. I have been very happy with the teachers and the preparation my children have received here. They care about the children and they work with me to help them improve and it shows! It is a great place to raise your kids.

Horrible!!! Please do not send your child here! Notice that after bad reviews there are several good reviews all on the same day or one day apart? They do not follow Christian values here. The staff is rude and the communication leaves a lot to be desired! My child has repeatedly been bullied and physically assaulted by other children and it 's ignored!!

Horrible! There is a major bullying problem here and the school just doesn't seem to care.

Annunciation offers enrichment classes not offered in the public system. It provides a nurturing learning environment. I am very pleased with the progress and development of my children.

Annunciation provides an excellent education focusing on both the academic and the spiritual. They challenge students academically and have a strong STEM program. Students are involved in community service. The school provides a nurturing environment where students can grow to their fullest potential.

Annunciation has been wonderful for my children!! I love the teachers. They go out of their way to make me and my children feel loved and validated!!!!!

ACS is an outstanding school. The teachers are like family and the students are very welcoming to new students. My children came from a Catholic school up in Detroit. I was worried that they would not fit in, but the students befriended them almost immediately. I have been very happy with their education over the last two years. My oldest is nearing graduation and we could not be happier.

Since the first time I walked on the grounds of Annunciation, I felt like it was an extension of my family. The faculty, staff, administration, and parents made us feel welcome. It is excellent academically and forward thinking. My kids are set to attend Bishop Snyder HS and I know from what I have heard from parents and teachers at BJS, my students will have a strong educational foundation. I am really happy that I chose to have my children sent here.

I have two children who differ in personality and approach to academics and both have thrived and grown at ACS. We have been a part of the ACS family for a long time. Both of my children started at ACS in PreK and one is now a junior in high school. My high school child was well prepared for life as a high school student. Academic achievement, critical thinking skills, independent and cooperative work skills, study skills, and technology skills are all things that she took with her from ACS to high school. We have found ACS to be a loving community of families and teachers who enjoy being together, care for one another, and worship together in a richly spiritual environment.
