"I have to respond to the parent who only left one star. I was one of the "teachers that taught and transferred to another school". The reason why many teachers left was because of the enrollment numbers. Not because we chose to leave. It is a great school that I left with great fondness after teaching there for 2 years. The curriculum is up to standards - we mapped out what needed to be taught when and did so. Teachers are not biased. If we do take something personal, it's because we care so much about teaching and educating the children there at the school. There were many teachers that stayed after school to tutor and I know that there are some still there. Please don't let one person's opinion of the school ruin yours!"

"I am so dissatisfied with this school. My children attended this school for two years. Needless to say they will not be returning for the upcoming school year. The one positive thing I can say is the preschool program is awsome. As far as the other classes the curriculum is not up to standards. Teachers are biased and take things too personal. Catholic school name but not catholic spirit or attitude. I'm not saying all of the teachers are like this but even one is too many. The evidence speaks for itself. The enrollment is way down and teachers that taught their last year have transferred to other schools. Extracurricular activites are scarce and if your child needs extra tutoring you can forget about it. Two years was enough for me and I would not recommend this school to anyone."

"I think Nativity BVM is special because the teachers take pride in what they do and care about the students."

"I had the blessed opportunity of serving the parish of Nativity of the BlessedVirginMary as an associate pastor visiting priest. One of the greatest joys were the hours spent with the teachers and children as a catechist, Christian and humanist ethics teacher. The feeling of community that the teachers have created under the loving care of Mrs. Christian (principal),Mrs. Giordano,Mrs. Mulhern,Mrs. Canzona (and their families)and the other teachers,helpers,staff is so beautiful that it truly is a model of a nurturing extended Christian family. There are no sufficient words to describe what a great joy it is to see how the children are being cared for in the fullness of love and concern for their spiritual, emotional,intellectual,human +social development. It is a very wholistic approach and the staff and parents have created a school society that is a microcosm of goodness and light.In deepest respect and loving prayer, Fr. Arvydas Peter Zygas"
