Our family is very happy with our child's overall experience at St. Mark School! Our child is growing, blossoming in academics, social emotional well being, faith, and as a person. The principal is a strong leader, who cares for the students. The teachers really get to know each individual student. The school provides a very strong sense of community among all stakeholders. We are happy to have been members of this special community for years already and look forward to many more years ahead.

We highly recommend St. Mark School! Our son started in Pre-K 3 and will continue his education at St. Mark through eighth grade. He is flourishing academically, socially, and spiritually because of the dedication, expertise, and love from the teachers, principal, and other faculty members. St. Mark provides a strong sense of community and fellowship by engaging families in all that they do. When we send our son to school we are positive that he is in a safe, caring environment. We know that he is receiving an outstanding education while growing in his faith and forming important relationships. St. Mark School is an absolutely wonderful place where our son is happy, healthy, and excited to be each and everyday day. We are proud to be a St. Mark School family!

My child has attended St. Mark School since preschool. She is currently in middle school and I couldn't be happier. The academics, faculty and community are amazing! My daughter is not only exceling in her studies but she is also growing into a more confident and responsible person. I know that the kind and inclusive school environment instills this in her. I am blessed and thankful. Worth every penny!

Principal Warner is the reason my daughter will not be attending next year. She is awful. The way she speaks to her staff snd students is apalling. There are many wonderful qualities about St. Mark but unfortunately she has truly ruined our experience and I would suggest looking elsewhere.

I attended St. Mark School from preschool to 8th grade. It was my home away from home. The academics were challenging but engaging enough to make it easier to learn. The teachers really care about their part in forming the minds and hearts of students. Overall it was a great school and I miss it!

Moving to St. Mark School from the Public School system was such a blessing. The education, community and overall atmosphere within the walls of St. Mark make our entire family feel at "home". I highly recommend this school to anyone that is looking for an exceptional learning environment filled with faith, friendship and a close knit community of parents, students and faculty.

If your kids are happy, then learning comes that much easier…this is why my children did so well at St. Mark School. Mixing creativity with a challenging curriculum is St. Mark’s specialty. Note: Being yourself and being smart is acceptable here!

My son loves this school. He has grown so much academically and socially. The families are very welcoming and the students are respectful and model good character and leadership qualities.

We have had nothing but a great experience. We can't imagine a better school to form our children into confident, intellectual, respectful adults.

St. Mark School provides an excellent foundation for your child. They nurture the intellectual, social and emotional development of each child and the parent community is warm and welcoming.

We could not have chosen a better community to support our children's (yes we have several at St. Mark) academic, moral, and spiritual growth. From preschool to 8th grade, we feel like we have found an extended family that has contributed to the motivation, care, and academic discipline of our children that keeps preparing them for each next stage of life.

I love that my daughter goes to this school. She enjoys it very much. We love the teachers! This school is amazing and values family time. I have seen so much growth academically and spiritually.

Disappointing, to say the least. The teachers are below average, many seem simply miserable in their personal lives, which is taken out on the children. Although the were some very sweet children there, for the most part the student body consists of spoiled and entitled children, who’s helicopter parents coddle then to the point that they can barely function on their own. Bullying is rarely effectively addressed, especially if your family knows the right people. The curriculum is outdated, teachers are underpaid and unhappy. And the constant turnaround of both teachers and principals was not conducive to a stable learning environment.

Our kids love St. Mark School. We've been involved at the school for 5 years and it's been amazing. The new principal is terrific and very effective. Lots of ways to get involved and have fun.

Would not recommend this school at all. Since the new principal stepped in 3 yrs ago, a lot of families have left. Principal does not take care of or protect the children. A high rate of teacher turn over since new principal. A high rate of bullying since new principal. Principal does not know how to discipline students or take lead with an issue. Parents in the school are very clicky - and forget it if you are of latin, Asian or black background. Neither the parents or the children will be accepted by the school. Children lack basic discipline and manners. Check out St James, St Catherine or St Theresa. Stay away from here!

Every time I have walked into the school or mass, the students have been kind and respectful. It is refreshing to be around such polite and personable children.

Do not let the blue ribbon mislead you. Outdated facility, poor individual attention to students, packed to maximum younger grades (they get smaller as students leave the school in higher grades), questionable curriculum (1st gr penguin project is a joke and yet seems to be to focus point of the first few months of the school), science curriculum definitely behind the public schools. Not a pleasant atmosphere to have a child for so many years, the environment is poisoned by parents cliques, which is being passed on children in very young age Yuck! We put our son after two years to public and he s like different person flourishing academically and socially. At last but not least, I noticed that some students were taking test one on one with teacher or her aide. Sorry, but unless student requires documented need for the assistance, it looks like jacking up the test scores to me

My children love going to school and look forward to it. They feel safe and are thriving in their learning. The school is built around an amazing community of people all who want what's best for the children! A wonderful place to grow.
