My kids really disliked it at Holy Family. New kids are bullied and kids are discriminated against by their peers if they don't have the newest jacket or by how much money they have. A great deal of the kids are snobby and there are no opportunities for parents to volunteer. I pulled my children out of Holy Family and put them into the Rockland public school system and they are much happier.
Excellent school; top notch pricinpal working closely with involved and caring parents association to continually srtive for improvements. Excellent education and preparation for futher education
Acedemics at HFS vary with some grades very strong while others are ridiculously weak. Extracurricular activities are minimal. Parental involvement is restricted to say the least. Parents are not welcomed in the school and have to fight to get in. There are no volunteer opportunities for parents during the school day with the exception of one week a year when people in the know can volunteer for Catholic schools week activities. Parents are encouraged to help raise money for the school I(basically the only way to volunteer) but are rarely allowed to give input in that capacity either. Every activity is dictated by a select group with little opportunity to break through. Very disappointing!
Holy Family School is providing my children with an incredible education. Acedemically, the school is very strong with experiences that provide challenge and a sense of accomplishment. Spiritually, the staff creates a nurturing environment that is Christ centered. Socially, the students come from various socioeconimic backgrounds so as to make a diverse community reflecting what children will face out in the real world. The school provides a well rounded educational experience that I cannot recommend highly enough.
