My kids have had a wonderful experience at Monte Cassino. Their middle school experience has been great. And their elementary school experience was wonderful. They have close connections with their teachers and principals.They feel safe and loved at school. I highly recommend Monte Cassino as a school and as a community!

I can't say enough about this school. The teachers are engaged and care about the students. I have had teachers reach out to me with compliments or concerns about my kids. The religion classes are liturgical but also teach morality and how to be a better, more thoughtful considerate people. Middle school is tricky and I feel they do a great job trying to relate to kids and help them navigate these years of development.Academics are great! Extra-curriculars are great! They have a new athletic director who has a wonderful, realistic POV about what middle sports do for kids. Great basketball program. They have a great program for kids who struggle with learning differences. My child did not need those services but for my friends who have, they have said the REACH program has been a confidence-building, game-changer. If you are looking to make a change, visit this school!

This is our 2nd year at Monte Cassino. The staff listen and are caring towards my child. If there are any issues they are taken care of quickly. The reach program is amazing and the class sizes are small. It’s much better than our last school.

This has been a place that my daughter has grown academically and socially in so many ways. We have never regretted moving to Monte Cassino.

Very poor. I wish I would have done more research before sending my child. It was a terribly disappointing year that ended with her hating school. This had never been a problem in the past.

The school overall is fine, nothing special. I would not choose this school again because of one seemingly small issue that has become the stress point of my mornings and afternoons. The school needs to completely revamp their drop off and pick up procedures. Lots of parents think that they are too important to wait in line, and no one is there to enforce a traffic flow or the no parking areas. Also, while the school may have no say in which police officers they are assigned, the majority of them are aggressive and rude (when they bother to show up). These are not people who should be around children. Car pool at this school is nothing short of a chaos show of bad attitudes and is dangerous for the children.

I have two boys who have been at Monte since the PreK 4's program. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the ECLC and are loving the Elementary now as they are able to participate in some of the really fun and unique specialty programs offered, like Science Explorers, Makerspace, Coding, Extension and more. My kids LOVE going to school and have met some really incredible friends from wonderful families. While many of the reviews on here called out parents/families for certain characteristics, I honestly believe that you’ll find those problems at any school. Our job as parents is to lead by example in making good choices and showing our kids that we choose our friends based on who they are… not what they have. For my own experience, I’ve found that most families are working very hard to put their kids at Monte because they value education in a positive, supportive environment where their children will learn a solid work ethic and a sense of confidence and self-respect for what they accomplish. Our decision to put our boys at Monte was our best one yet and we couldn’t be more thrilled with our experience there, both in and out of the classroom.

Our children have attended Monte Cassino since the 3-year old program; and we love the school! We have been very pleased with the highly qualified teachers that consistently strive to improve and meet the individual needs of their students. We’ve been impressed with the variety of learning experiences, the small class sizes, and the genuine sense of community. Most importantly, we are thankful for the strong, but inclusive faith tradition at MC that permeates every aspect of our children’s experience.

I love how friendly everyone is at MC. This school is more like a family.

Monte Cassino has been an excellent choice for our family. The teachers really bring out the best in the students, encourage morality, good decision making. The students recognize and appreciate each other's talents whether academic, athletic, musical etc. I find it to be a school where it is accepted to be smart, or talented, rather than stigmatized. The core Benedictine values can be appreciated regardless of your faith. Monte's Middle School teachers are top-notch and passionate about the kids and teaching. The have among the highest test scores in the state. The students come from all walks of life and backgrounds. The school has a lot of fun family events and fundraisers. We transferred to Monte late in Elementary School and I have found most families and staff to be very welcoming and helped ease the kids into their new environment, especially the school's Newcomer's Network. Overall a great learning institution and a great school!

I'm not a parent, but an observant family member of some Monte Cassino students. The teachers are fantastic, the curriculum is excellent and the kids seem happy, which is great, but the overall atmosphere leaves something to be desired, in my opinion. There seems to be an awful lot of elitism, social climbing, gossip and snobbery going on, with a good chunk of the parents trying to one-up or show off for each other in one way or another. The unwritten code here seems to be that one must drive the biggest most expensive SUV, the location of your home should be in the toniest of neighborhoods -- can anyone say Woody Crest? -- and everyone must know all the sordid details of the other students'/parents' lives (which family is getting a divorce, which kid's uninterested parents dumps him on the nanny 24/7, etc.) .
