"I am very happy with this school. It is a very caring and nurturing enviornment. They teach the kids to be responsible in all aspects of their lives. The faith community is very strong. They expect a lot from the students which I feel is a great asset in today world. I would highly recommend this school to others of all faiths and backgrounds."

"I question the motives of anyone who would give a school a "one star" rating. If an adult, or even a student, feels so negatively towards a learning environment, why would they wait until they are done to complain? Sure St. Mags has its share of challenges. The school did not have a gym for many years, and they made due. And now, their graduates are parents contributing to our community. The challenge in almost every school district is that most parents are willing to complain, but when asked to participate, they fall silent. If you're considering St. Mags for your child, visit the school. Take a tour. Ask administrators, teachers, and students directly. It may not be a "five star" school, but that means there's always something to strive for. I'm proud to have my child attending this contemporary Catholic schoot."

"There is way too much trying to evaluate childrens mental health at this school. I'm glad they dont have the authority to administer the medication to the childrem themselves but I know they wish they could. Its so one sided. If you dont do what they want you to, they pick on the kid. They make you think you are crazy too. Where did they get these rookie counselors at? A uniform shoe is a good idea but who picked that style? I agree with the comment about the new gym uniform changes, they are cheaply made. The new gym is pretty nice but its a gym, why so many restrictions?"

"I can understand where some think the best of this school and some think the worst of it. Its unfair thats why. The ones that are in with the principal have nice things to say, on the other hand I have witnessed first hand the bullying, the unfairness, the punishments and the gossip. This school is not a bad school, its because of the people that do this not only to certain children but also to their parents. Its not that diverse and this is 2011, why is the principal being so stubborn about everything. I have one thing more to say, this is a catholic school and do unto others because it will come back to your child someday."

"At this school kids are treated very unfairly. Teachers are very biased. Also, some kids get a more severe punishment than others and some don't even get a punishment at all even though they did something wrong. In the other student review it is true about unfairness. Also, the principal currently is very disorganized. I asked her a question a long time ago and to this day it is still not answered and when I asked her she kept telling me to refer to the handbook. And this was a simple yes or no question. I feel that the main reason that this school only gets one star is because of again and stated above the unfairness. At a school everyone should be treated equal especially at a Catholic School. Right now the uniform is pretty decent but the gym uniform went from navy blue and gray to yellow and dark green. Color isn't a big issue but the uniforms should at least look nice. Also, the shoes are changing. The shoes are changing to black leather sneakers. This is okay for boys uniform, but for the girls it is not. And you have to wear those shoes to gym class. That's just ridiculous! I can go on and on about how terrible the school is but I hope you get the point."
