I wrote a few years ago about how wonderfully BSS helped my child navigate pre-K (back in 2005). My son did have great teachers at BSS. Unfortunately, it all fell apart this year. My son started coming home crying, with daily notes, about his behavior. No other teacher ever saw the behavior that this teacher reported. I try to support the teachers, so I offered suggestions (I have an education degree) to both teacher and my son. I met with both the teacher and principal at a various times throughout the year. We wound up pulling him out of BSS that year and moved him elsewhere. My son is now thriving, has had no behavior problems, and has made honor roll each quarter at his new school. BSS is a good school, but it's not such a good fit if your child marches to a different drum.
We left Blessed Sacrament because although they really talk about what a great school they are almost every single child gets on honor roll. Not every child should be an honor roll student. This school does not have students that traditionally test high for high schools (not public or Catholic) and so consequently every parent does like this school because they feel like their child is wonderful. My children did great here but the reality is that children need a challenge and not a 'feel good' approach.
If you came to this website to find a GREAT SCHOOL, you have in Blessed Sacrament. I have found BSS to offer the absolute best elementary and middle school experience for my children. Its hard to get into, because everyone in town knows what a treasure this school really is. But once you are in, your children will SOAR. What a wonderful administration and faculty! They understand that childhood education is a partnership between teachers, students and parents. And everyone BELIEVES in one another. What a truly GREAT SCHOOL. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
This is a school that has seen a major resurgence in the last three years due to the great leadership and long-term vision of its principal. It has found its core identity, and gone from an average school to one that everyone believes in. A phenomenal place with phenomenal teachers, who love their students and will do anything to ensure their success. Parental involvement is like nothing you will ever see. If you are looking for a safe, loving environment and world class education--the way school's used to be---you have found the perfect family at Blessed Sacrament.
