If the staff and administration held students who bully and physically attack other students accountable this school would be great. Bullying is accepted here, and if your child cannot defend themselves they will get physically hurt! We stood here for two years, and our child was physically hurt everyday, and our child nor us as parents were taken seriously.

Family oriented, small class sizes and attentive teachers. Could not be happier with our children’s education

Our family loves the "family-like" atmosphere at Sacred Heart! The teachers are all very loving and supportive!

So disappointed in this small school. They have a revolving doors of teachers and administration. The curriculum is not the same as in other school in the same diocese.Teachers showed favoritism in almost every grade. IEP were not followed and singled out children who had them. Poor communication between administration, teachers and parents.Violence is tolerated and there are minimal consequences.

Sacred Heart, is the epitome of family, a true place you want your child to be, each day. The love and energy felt from morning to afternoon pick up or EDP is so special.

An incredible staff, friendly, empirical and eager to help made my daughter feel like family. Recommended 100%-Family Pabon

Sent two kids there over 12 consecutive years, youngest just graduated. If you would have asked me 4 years ago I would have strongly recommended Sacred Heart. Parish, especially its leadership, and teachers are excellent. Diocese oversight is poor and does not address parents concerns, research the problems they have had lately.Enrollment has teetered at the critical level for some time and has relied on inflow from other Catholic schools in the area that have recently closed. The projected longevity of this institution is highly doubtful. It breaks my heart to be forced to write this review after so many wonderful years spent there. Hopefully the Diocese begins to listen to parents, parishioners and other concerned parties and makes the changes necessary to bring this school back to greatness.Until the current school management is replaced I cannot recommend Sacred Heart School.

Terrible experience!!! As a Catholic, educated in Catholic schools I am surprised and ashamed. As a parent, I deeply regret exposing my child to such a bad experience, Great students and parents, terrible stuff and leadership.

It’s average. Nothing speacial. I am very disappointed. As a graduate of a Catholic high school, as well as grammar school, the current catholic schools are not as good as they used to be. For all the drama we have been dealing with, we could opt to save the money and enroll in public school. Shame on Sacred Heart School.

We pulled our children from the public school system last year as they were not really receiving an education. We've been very happy with the education they're now receiving at Sacred Heart. They're being challenged which is what we were hoping for. All in a faith filled environment that nourishes the soul as well as the mind.

Wow am am so disappointed in this school I used love it and now it so sad. In a catholic school I have always thought there is no room for racial ignorance but sadly sacred heart has destroyed that belief. There does not appear to be a lot of diversity in the school and maybe that is where this ignorance stems from I don't l know but when as a minority you are spoken too as if you are inferior or over hear teachers make a comment about that black kid it is so disheartening we have fought so hard to overcome this . This school has broken my heart my child has three years to go to graduate. I will have him stay since I don't want to punish him for the staffs ignorance. As always we shall overcome.

If you value Catholic education in a warm loving environment, then Sacred Heart is a great choice. My daughter is reading well above her 1st grade level and even speaks Spanish! We love it and can't wait for our son to start soon.

My husband and I have 3 children (PK3, PK4, 3rd grade) that are now part of the Sacred Heart Family. We recently transitioned to Sacred Heart from public school and have been extremely pleased with the experience thus far. The teachers are very attentive, caring, yet structured. The staff is also an absolute pleasure to work with and are very accommodating. From the registration process, to the regular communication with the teachers, the entire process has been positive. Our children love to go to school everyday, which says a lot about the environment that the Sacred Heart staff has created for our children to learn and grow. We are also very impressed with the challenging curriculum that allows our children to reach their fullest potential. We have connected with many parents, even in this short time period, and our children have also made priceless friendships that I am sure will love for many more years to come. Our entire family feels extremely blessed to be part of the Sacred Heart Family!

There is not a grade high enough to rate Sacred Heart Elementary School. My husband and I are grandparents of two of the students attending Sacred Heart. As former educators, we have experienced 67 years of educational instruction between us, including college, high school, elementary school and reading specialization.The academic quality, care, respect, and love we have witnessed at Sacred Heart is exceptional. Sacred Heart School is a learning institution that should be a model for all schools. Ms. Chiarelli and her staff are to be commended for providing each student with an outstanding educational experience.

As a parent, I spent 12 years at a catholic school. I am amazed on how the values of "family" shine through in Sacred Heart. The children are treated with love and respect by not only the teachers and faculty, but by each other. The learning environment it top notch with, not only excellent classroom programs, but the opportunity for the older grades to participate in robotics. I highly recommend this school to anyone interested in a competitive learning environment with a loving atmosphere.

As a parent who has gone thru the catholic catholic school system I thought this was a great choice now I am not so sure when we registered they made it seem like one big happy family now you have no access to the teachers. Where you expect to see kindness understanding and teachers that love teaching . Teachers seem miserable and as if teaching is a chore I am very upset that this is what the school has turn into I wish that someone of some authority can look at the school and see what is wrong .

Great school. Not just for Catholic families but it's a great way to make sure your children have a safe happy fun education. Advanced Spanish,home ec and robotics are all available. PK3-8 grade all in one school.
