  • St. Margaret is a great school. We've had a new principal since September and he is doing a fabulous job. The staff at this school is very caring, knowledgeable, and experienced. It is a perfect place for a child to grow academically as well as to learn Christian values. St. Margaret has a wonderful community feel -- it's a great place for kids to grow up.

  • St. Margaret School is an excellent elementary school. We have a new principal who is warm and fosters a family atmosphere. The faculty members for the most part have worked at the school for many years and are experienced. Parental concerns are always addressed and there is no preferencial treatment that I've ever seen or experienced. St. Margaret school offers a strong academic program but also teaches good Christian values. I am happy that I have chosen to send my children to this school.

  • It is quite obvious the the majority of the previous reviews were written by the same disgruntled parent. While I tend to agree that the administration (principal for past 3 years) had no warmth and was very uncooperative to parental concerns, at NO time did she ever exihibit preferential treatment based on "who you knew". Everyone was treated the same, however that is not saying much since she treated everyone poorly. However, the upcoming year we will have a new principal in place who has a reputation of being friendly, kind-hearted, and warm. I am willing to give him a chance before I jump ship and remove my children from this otherwise good school.

  • This school is a disaster waiting to happen. There are no real guidelines. The administration helps only those students whose parents know or have connection with someone important. If you are not part of the "in-crowd" you are OUT! The principal has the gift of "gab" and whether right or wrong, she always finds a way to turn things around. VERY UNFAIR! Unfair to the children and parents! Please do not send your kids to St. Margaret. There are better schools that will make your children and you feel appreciated. Thank You!

  • This school should really be shut down. There is no way any child should be bullied by their teachers or principal. This school has changed in the last two years. My kids have been here for over 6 years. I need to find a different school. DON'T SEND THEM TO ST. MARGARET'S SCHOOL.

  • This school leaves a lot to be desired.
    Even with such a great loss of student enrollment, the administration and teachers fail to properly communicate or develop a rapport with parents. The teachers and administration will not go above and beyond for any student unless "you know someone". Very Disappointed with the school.

  • There is no guidance or warmth at this school. Preferential treatment is offered to a handful of students. The math program is a disaster; especially in the seventh and eighth grades. This is a school of not what you know but who's your mama.
