Love St. Mary's!!! My favorite school ever

July 1, 2024

I love St. Mary’s! The social life here is fantastic. There are so many clubs to join, from the drama club to the robotics team. I’ve made a lot of friends through these activities, and there’s always something fun to do after school.

Pretty great school, but not too difficult

My son is generally happy at St. Mary’s and has managed to achieve B+/A- grades without too much effort. The school has a strong sports program, and he’s particularly enjoyed being part of the soccer team. However, I feel the academics could be more rigorous. While the small class sizes are a plus, the curriculum sometimes feels a bit lacking in challenge for students who are capable of more advanced work. That said, the school does offer options for taking additional classes at local colleges, which we’ve taken advantage of.
