St Agatha

This review is just for the gym. Went to a kids' basketball game here. The school buildings look like typical '60s elementary school design. Nice enough inside, nothing fancy. The gym is small, but has nice bleachers and a pretty slick scoreboard for an elementary school. Plenty of parking, and located beside a public school with a large park and playing fields between them. We will be checking out Catholic schools for Baby K, so we'll be doing some research on this one.

This is my family's 4th year at the school and we could not be happier. I have 2 students and would strongly recommend it for the following reasons.First, the strong support and encouragements given by teachers and staff. My children know all teachers, and they know them. Everyday they come home to stories about how this teacher helped them this day and another, the next. When we have had issues arise, I have always been impressed by how communicative the teachers have been and how receptive they are to listen to my concerns, and those of my child. It truly has been a loving environment from day one.Second, tying to the support and encouragement, I have seen amazing academic results each year because of teachers taking the time to address individual needs and work with my children. My children feel confident when it comes to learning and have been well prepared when it's come time to take tests.Third, I love the fact my kids are growing in their Catholic faith through partaking in community service, attending mass weekly, and daily religious instruction. I feel confident that they are becoming good stewards of their faith and better and more compassionate human beings because of it.Lastly, I love the sense of community. Parents and students alike enjoy spending time at the school and school functions. The smaller class sizes facilitates getting to know each family and it also encourages and enables any and everyone to be involved with the school. At St. Agatha you are not a face that gets lost in the crowd.

St. Agatha School provides an excellent educational environment. We have multiple children at the school and we continue to be impressed with the high academic standards. The kids often come home excited about what they've learned, which is great! We also like that a variety of sports are offered for all ages. In addition, the interior of the school building was recently repainted and modernized.
