1) academically , good, they strive for hard work and push the students2) There are Obvious issues with Bulling this year and over the past 3 years ( ironically worse with the female students ) investigated but not enforced, and worse administration does not inform fellow students or parents of this. This makes current parents worry alif their children are getting bullied.

I have two kids at RES and love the way they are learning and able to become great leaders. The school aligns with our family values and deeply cares for the kids. Great sense of community all around.

Holy Child or IHM, Resurrection more concerned about $$$ Money not Education. Luck of the draw on what type of teacher your child will have.Mainly window dressing no substance

I am a former resurrection student and I had a good resurrection experience. There are people I know who did not have nice people in their grade and because the school is so small, that stinks. I was in a nice grade with people I liked. The school is lacking in certain spots, but resurrection is a good school. You always feel safe and there are always people there to help you. It’s a good school and you’ll definitely learn how to be a good Christian while your there!!

I have had three children attend Resurrection School, and feel that Resurrection has given them a great educational foundation that has prepared them for academic success. Resurrection has given my children strong basic skills, helped them learn good study habits, taught them what it means to serve others in the Catholic tradition and developed a love of learning that I believe will benefit them for the rest of their lives.

I have been a Resurrection Mom for nine years, and currently have three children at the school. My focus in life is to raise happy, fun-loving, caring, balanced, respectful, well-educated children, and Resurrection has played an enormous role in whatever successes I've had to date. Resurrection's academics are strong and serious (with perhaps a tad too much homework and testing), but it's all the other stuff that makes Resurrection superior. There are so many opportunities for the children to learn what it really means to be a member of a broad community and help others. Resurrection inspires decency and compassion inside and outside the classroom. I feel Resurrection is preparing my children for all of life (and not just high school) in today's crazy world.

We had a terrible experience. We entered Kindy and then grade 1 as an expat family and our daughter felt isolated by her classmates. Rightly or wrongly I setup a meeting with her teacher, who quickly showed me she was very defensive and had not even heard our daughters' thoughts/feelings before becoming highly emotional and aggressive. She was impossible to talk with, showing zero compassion. Instead she was quite negative about our darling daughter (a high achieving student at her previous school and only having been at this school a few weeks). We involved the principal and she was likewise impossible. Neither offered any support to the situation, which was a storm in a teacup, but it needed to be dealt with our daughter to feel happy. At no time did either person obtain a full story from us, they were both highly aggressive and defensive, finally suggesting we think about whether this was the right school for us. We have since heard of several families who have had similar experiences, one teacher in particular stands out. It was made clear this school is inflexible, does not manage student problems well, has a difficult teacher they are well aware of and seems to be run by one person. Also, there caffeteria is dreary, they play in a carpark and are constantly told to 'be quiet'

I loved my days as a Resurrection student. Now I am sending my own kids there and they love it. Good, rigorous academics in a richly catholic environment.

Our Resurrection Experience has been very positive. Our children work hard during the day and have a very busy academic schedule with Homework every night. The teachers are strong, some better than others but my kids certainly are learning so much. The parent community is the best in the area- parents are involved, committed to the school, and definitely want the best experience for their kids. Always room for some improvement, like all schools, but Res is a great option If you want a strong academic school with great Catholic values.

Have sent children through this school for 10+ years. If you're a favorite of the Monsignor or Principal (read a donor to the Foundation) you are golden. Stepford wives run the PTO. The Pre-K through 2nd grade is very nuturing and academically appropriate, in my experience. 3-8 is busy work and does not come close to preparing students to enter high school, as mentioned in another post. I was lucky, my children adapted and caught up...others may not be so fortunate. In recent years, # of classes per grade & enrollment has dropped (there used to be 3 2nd grade classes with 20-22 students, now there are 2 with 16-19 per class). Have heard stories of people being put on "wait lists" - translation turned away for the pre-K!! This is particularly distressing. Sad to see the school headed in the wrong direction with administrators who don't listen to anyone not in line with their adenga.

A dubiously deleted parent review (October 2013) chastised for being "grossly inaccurate" actually brings up a few valid points. I agree that the review was harsh, but I ve been troubled by a few of the same concerns. Some other reviews here seem overly complimentary and quite honestly a bit suspicious. The art program may have more than dry markers and paper, but it is taught in what used to be a CCD closet and lacks aspects of what I d consider a solid art class. Also, iPads are rarely brought out (in my child s experience) and the Middle School laptops are over a decade old. Grammar School computer lab is spacious, but in the middle school, all children and computers are crammed into a small room which used to hold 9-10 students for advanced math. Resurrection is a poor choice for students with special needs. There is an attitude of you conform rather than we accommodate. Entering into high schools, a couple students I ve spoken to find the need to catch up in some areas because they were not properly prepared at Res. All that said, there is a good advanced math program & some staff are enthusiastic about educating. In general, not my first choice recommendation.

Our kids have attended Resurrection for the last 10+ years, and we are lucky to be a part of a strong Catholic educational institution. We have always felt an incredible sense of community. Parents are dedicated and involved from helping with a special craft to chairing our Spring Fundraiser. Our professional faculty is invested in our children. Our Principal and Assistant Principal, who joined us last year, brought many talents and wisdom from years of experience. They are committed to providing our teachers with the professional development necessary to incorporate the new common core standards into their curriculum. For years, parents asked for Spanish. This year, preK-4 through 8th have Spanish. Technology is a priority. Every classroom is equipped with a Smart Board. There are 45 iPads (more coming), utilized in Computers and as a learning tool in classrooms. We also have a new state of the art website. In Music, 3rd graders learn how to use the recorder; a few years ago, they performed at Carnegie Hall. 4th graders learn rhythm through the use of tapping cups.

(cont d from last posting) There are many outlets for athletes. Various sports are offered through After School Club. Middle School Sports (for 5th-8th) continues to expand; lax was added last Spring. And MS gym and many MS Sports utilize our newly renovated gym. On the other end of the spectrum, Drama Club put on its first production, Annie, last year and is preparing for this Spring s The Wizard of Oz. Our kids receive a well-rounded and competitive education. Their spiritual development is just as important. The school comes together every first Friday to celebrate mass with individual class masses in between. There is a new Montessori Religious Center. 2nd and 8th Grade are special years, as students prepare for First Reconciliation, First Communion and Confirmation together. Our Principal, Assistant Principal and faculty are leading our kids on a path of academic excellence while nurturing a community of faith. We are extremely happy with our experience over the last 10+ years and are excited to see what the future holds for our children at Res.

Wonderful school. Educationally and morally very strong. There is a strong sense of service that extends from the school to the community. There is a family feeling at Resurrection. The preschool age classes are an excellent fun introduction to school for little ones who flourish through the classroom experience and the nurturing creative teachers. The new administration is strong and keeps the school current with curriculum and technology. Spanish is now taught in all grades. Present faculty is held to high standards. The middle school sports program is a huge success. I highly recommend Resurrection School.

Resurrection is a wonderful local parochial school. The school community is involved and very close-knit and that translates to a very happy educational experience for the students. The administration has taken recent steps to enhance the educational platform, with the addition of foreign language for all grades, a science program that integrates lab and classroom work, a technology program that incorporates iPads into everyday classroom learning, as well as a middle school athletics program that has added new sports each year over the past 3 years. The school provides its students with a wonderful educational foundation. It is a great school and we feel lucky to be apart of the Resurrection family.
