The only reason it has recent "good' reviews and all of them from the last month is the NEPONSET Principal (tyrant) emailed us in December begging us to give good reviews. His very few followers wrote the reviews because they brown nose him even more. If all the parents and guardians chose to do it there would have been over 600 posts not just 12.

Horrible school. We just took ours out of there thanks god. The regional director Kate Brandley didn't want to hear our concerns. HItler like Principal , robot teachers , and the teachers all hate Nick . he made them sign contracts October 2017 only one month into the year of a reduced salary, and if they did not sign it right then, they would be fired and have to leave that moment.

One by one all the teachers left. 100 percent turnover since the new tyrant took over only two years ago. DO NOT GO HERE! The love is gone and so is the Catholic spirit. BUT if you want to hear Nick scream every morning at the assembly as if it were a WWF match instead of a Catholic school, and if you want to see a thousand twitter posts by Principal Nick spouting how good it is, then go ahead and keep reading the facade because if its on Twitter it must be true!
