Best part of the school is that it is the cheapest non-public school around. Other then the low cost nothing else is positive about this school. The administration is so mean and grumpy. The teachers seems miserable and out to get the students. The teachers and staff seem to want to screw the kids instead of cultivating the whole student. The education is subpar both religiously and educational. I was shocked to find out how many of the staff are not Catholic and so many of the ones that are do not live or believe in the doctrine of the church. The only reason I guess people send their children there is because they can not afford other private Catholic schools. So sad to see the state of this Catholic school.
