Poor leadership. Discipline by public shaming. Blame student who is getting bullied. Lack of community. No diversity. No social/emotional support. Too many tests. Emphasis is on results.

I attended Holy Name from grade 1 to 6, leaving in 1984. I had some excellent teachers, good discipline, and lots of opportunity to learn how to learn and express my creativity. At the same time, I will acknowledge that my participation in the Holy Name Marching band was probably the most influential activity that shaped my future. I went on to Boston Latin, marched in the Boston Crusaders Drum & Bugle Corps, graduated with an engineering degree from the University of Pennsylvania and I now reside in Mumbai, India. I am very grateful to the education I received at Holy Name. I do hope that the current school administration feels just as inspired to motivate the next generation.

Very expensive for a private school. Good location. The curriculum could be expanded on and the teachers to have a more open mind about science and natural history.
