I have had all three of my children attend St T's. I am very happy with my choice. It is a wonderful school that is nurturing and caring. I have a son who suffers migraines and from the Principal Mrs. Gibbons to the nurses to the woman in the front office could not have been nicer and more caring. My son is moving on to an exam school this year and I feel a loss for him as well as myself. My older son has gotten into an exam school and doing well, in my opinion because of St.T's and the wonderful teachers and staff. My daughter will be the last one left there and I would never choice a different school for my family. This school was the foundation for the success that I hope they will have one day. I have nothing but praise for this school.

My 2 daughters went to St. T's. I really liked the lower grades, great teachers and very nuturing. The upper grades (4 and above), I thought just taught to the average student. They just couldn't teach to the advanced children...not because they didn't know how...the classes are just too large. I pulled my girls out because of this. If I am paying tution I think they should be able to teach to everyone. I really enjoyed the school but it does need some updating.

St. Theresa school has many improvements to make. I would not choose it for my child. The K2 classes are way too big. The average is 25-30 children with no aide. The K1 also has way too many kids. Many of the upper grade teachers really need to retire. They have no idea of modern day teaching. The principal is out of control. She has no Vice-Principal. She basically says one thing and does the other. The pta is non -existant. The group has no order. They say they do this to have eveyone involved. This is untrue.

I have a son at St T's and he has been there for 4 years. We are extremely happy with St T's. We have many teachers that have been at the school for 8+ years and several teachers that are alumni. We have teachers whose children went here and grandchildren of teachers as well. This year we added a new Science Lab and Media room that all grades have access to. We have a library with over 15,000 books. We have a full cafeteria with hot lunch every day. We have an Art and Music program. We have a wonderful Early Childhood Program, KI program, and KII program as well. We have a state of the art Computer Lab with all new Dell computers. We also have a Title One program to assist those who need help in Math and Reading. Come see for yourselves. We ARE your neighborhood Catholic School.
