This is my daughters first year in school and i was very nervous. Because of the amazing staff teachers and students at the school it made my transition as a parent very easy as well as my daughter loving school. St Marianne is by far amazing!

10/10My children have been attending St. Marianne School for the past 4 years. St. Marianne implements intense academics, faith-based leadership, and a sense of community each and everyday. The students are challenged with rigorous academics daily. Besides academic excellence, the students are given opportunities outside of the classroom to excel in sports, fine arts, and service to the community! St. Marianne is truly preparing a well -rounded student to thrive in high school.

My son has been at SMS since Kindergarten and it is the best decision I could have ever made. The teachers are caring, understanding, compassionate and always willing to help. I look forward to continue working with our new principle and look forward to all the positive changes he is bringing to our school.

We have had a great experience with my daughter attending St. Marianne School. She continues to grow academically and spiritually! The Principal and Teachers are wonderful!

Great, the school supports what I set in place at home. Academically they challenge my children with competitions and summits involving other schools. They have great electives my children are excited about. Community builders are fun for our family. My children learn to help others by helping the community at convolesant homes, cleaning the surrounding streets and even reading to the little ones.

I have had a wonderful experience at St. Marianne School and continue to enjoy watching my kids learn and grow in a loving, supportive environment. Although we are building ourselves back up after having an administrator who didn’t have the schools best interest at heart, we are a faithful group of families who believe that a St. Marianne education is worth the sacrifice and worth sticking around through any rough patches that might arise. The end result will be a young person who is strong in their faith and also has a very strong education to take with them into high school. I have made lifelong fire with many of the parents here and know in my heart that SMS friends are friends for life!

I love SMS! My son has been attending SMS since he was 3. His pre-k and kinder teacher were awesome! The teachers are loving and compassionate. My niece has been their since she was in kinder and is now in 7th grade. She has had an excellent education and I hope the same for my son. It is a tight knit community. The new principal is amazing!

School is family oriented. Class size is appropriate. My child obtained a good education. Most teachers have been there for years. There are a few teachers that should not be there because their heart is not into it. Or perhaps due to their leadership of "Ms. Lloyd" they are discouraged. She has no business being principal. Ms. Lloyd intimidates the children & teachers to the point that they are afraid to talk to her. She is a very controlling person and is not open for any suggestions from parents. She always has a Grouchy manner. She does not dress professional but neither do staff. Ms. Lloyd preaches the "Catholic Faith" but does not display or practice it. She is not a good roll model for students or staff. School Can improve by changing leadership. It is a shame that the Archdioceses has not done anything about what teachers, students and parents have been dealing with. I would not recommend this school to anyone if this principle remains. I will be sending my other children elsewhere.

I have been a parent at the school for many years now and I have discussed with other parents and know that they share my sentiment. The teachers at this school are exceptional however; the principal leaves much to be desired. She seems to have a mental issue. She does not demonstrate good leadership and is disrespectful to teachers and students. I think the kids are afraid to speak up, but if someone takes the time to look into this issue that I am bringing to light, it will be revealed that this principal has real issues. A simple interview with children and the teachers at the school will expose the controlling and negative temperament this principal demonstrates. Please investigate this issue and do something about it for our children s sake.

My dauther is the first Jr. Kindergarten class that SMS ever had. I can honestly say that I was very happy with the teacher and office staff. I loved the fact that the Jr. Kindergarten teacher care about the education of the kids. My dauther learned alot and not to mention that we as the parents have to do our part at home when it comes to the education. I love the fact that the school is very united. We are very happy that we are part of the SMS family!
