Concerns about fairness among Paramus Catholic football JV coaches include:1. **Playing Time**: Unequal distribution of playing time leaves some players frustrated.2. **Favoritism**: Perceived favoritism towards certain players creates division within the team.3. **Communication**: Inconsistent communication about expectations can confuse players regarding their roles.4. **Skill Development**: An emphasis on winning over player development may hinder overall improvement.5. **Support**: Lack of positive reinforcement can demotivate players who aren't top performers.Addressing these issues is essential for fostering a fair and supportive environment for all players.

Paramus Catholic has undergone significant changes over the years. Family members of mine who attended in the past had a very different experience. Currently, there are few events for students to celebrate or gather with their families, which makes the school atmosphere quite depressing. The emphasis on football is excessive, and many players feel defeated and overlooked. Some coaches need a reality check regarding their treatment of the players. Football should be about the students, yet the way some coaches communicate and exclude certain boys is disheartening. The entire football program needs to adopt a more positive outlook. I genuinely feel for these players and the challenges they face.

Absolutely terrible school who cares only about its sports and $. Your childs physical and mental well-being means nothing. The Bullying and HARASSMENT that goes on at this school is disgusting. Save yourself and child a lot of grief and years of counseling. I DO NOTTTTT RECOMMEND ANYONE NOT EVEN A DOG ATTEND THIS INSTITUTION.

Excellent school!!! My daughter graduated with high honors. The academics is impeccable, do not believe the negative press as people have problems children and they just want to blame the school and the administrative staff. My daughter did incredible and she got a very generous scholarship to Fordham University. If you are considering PC, do it. My second daughter is already enrolled for September 2022. Great school!!!!

PCHS does nothing more than look good on a college application at the cost of your child's mental, physical and emotional well-being. Avoid PCHS at all costs. I learned about the severity of the trauma this school caused my daughter, after I pulled her out of Sophomore year. Thankfully I did.Save yourself, not only to your own pockets but more importantly your childs MENTAL HEALTH Wellbeing!This "school" not only sweeps bullying and harassment under the rug when you bring it up they excuse it as, your kid is a the problem child. I was actually told by a teacher that bullying doesnt affect a childs academics, can you Imagine the audacity?!My daughter was harrassed on a daily basis even after bringing it up to faculty nothing was ever done. I should have done my research, shame on me.We were never told about this schools dark past either, just do a good google search. This school values your $ and nothing more. Best of luck to your child and their future.

Excellent, a "Life Changer" my son is on a higher trajectory now. If he stayed at his public school things have been very different.

I have 2 children attending Paramus Catholic. One senior and one freshman. The school is great with super administration and very caring staff. The educational standards are highly maintained and equal attention to sports and arts. Highly recommend this school.

Two of my three daughters attended the school. Both Administration and the Teachers have a close relationship with the students and encourage their development. In addition to the sports program, the school has an excellent Music and Humanities program.

I would give it a four and a half instead. The reason for this is, that it was difficult for me to make a lot of friends. Students can be clicky and stuck up at times.

I had 2 children who graduated and got into great colleges.. I also have 1 still in P.C. and doing wonderfully.. I couldnt ask for a better school for my children.. I am very pleased with the staff, and principal.. never had a problem speaking with anyone if I needed to . .P.C. teaches and encourages the spiritual and moral values of what I feel is important ..I thank the staff and principal for all their hard work ..

Not ideal for students who are serious about school. The president of the school only cares about the football team and how to save money. Football players get out of trouble easier than other kids. Few good teachers but the rest are awful. Budget is mainly focused on unnecessary athletic things rather than education or proper and healthy foods. School rules are unfair and the faculty members fail to catch troublemakers even though there are hundreds of cameras in the building. This is not an ideal place for students who are serious about education. The school favors athletes over everybody else. It feels more like a public school than a catholic school.

Good academics, great school spirit, diverse student body. My child is enjoying her time at PC. Wishing the administration would communicate more; but, otherwise the school is great!

I have two boys at the school and both really seem to like it. For the most part the teachers are good. Would like more communication with parents but otherwise we are very happy,

This school is the best my daughter will be a senior this September and can't say enough good things about this school she takes some honor courses and one AP course and if she ever falls behind her teachers are all willing to stay and give her extra help she really enjoys school and I feel she is prepared to go on to college. Thanks PC for making her high school years so enjoyable.
