As a Student Here, I Believe 1 Teacher is Fine, Sometimes We Get out Of Hand, But Aren't Children Like that? We Always go to Church on Mondays, We Also Are Able to Be on the Alter with the Priest.
We Take things Seriously, Even the Younger ones.

I'm a parent, a parishoner, an educator and most importantly, a child of God. In the school the spirit of God is alive. Some teachers view our school as a mission; as they feel called to build up God's kingdom. Empowering His young is essential.

Tahnk God for Catholic schools. This school is wonderful. The students are taught the standards as required by the State of NY; as well as Catholicism. Although the majority of students are ot Catholic, each is made to feel like they are right at home and are encouraged, loved, and respected.

This is a great school. I went there kindergarten through 8th grade. I graduated valedictorian of my class. While here I learned to play the piano, recorder and the violin. I especially enjoyed dance class. We did modern, tap, jazz, ballet. I loved the concerts. This school really opened alot of doors for me. The teachers are very memorable. They are great!

As a catholic/private school academically, the school should be doing better and the classes should be smaller.

I love this school, but I am not happy with lessons plan, students are not challenged enough, the classes are too large for one teacher.

A lot of parents complains, but instead of giving feedback to the school, they mumble amongst them selves, because the tuition is the lowest in the City.

I don't mind giving my thoughts, because Sacred Heart is my parish and feedback is good.
