    "I am a current 7th grade student at the School of St. Mary. I love St. Mary's! The school has given me many opportunities to be the best I can be. I love all my classes, but especially my honors reading class. I have a great teacher and am surrounded by good students. I have lots of wonderful friends here. When I came here in second grade, I was welcomed by everyone, and easily fit in with all the different kids. I have been able to be on team sports since fifth grade. Volleyball, basketball, and track are the sports I have participated in, though there are other options. Before fifth grade, I had never played volleyball. After two years of playing it at St. Mary's with great coaching, I have made it to a club level junior olympic team, which really says a lot about the sports program here. Overall, I think St. Mary's is a great school and I really enjoy it here."

    "We have been at St. Mary for 10 years, with our oldest now a freshman at Loyola Academy. St. Mary does an excellent job in preparing the students academically and emotionally and instills a solid foundation for sound values and morals. The administration has made changes in the last couple of years in the curriculum and faculty in order to meet the Archdiocese of Chicago and State "best practices" standards and to ensure the best preparation for its students. The academic preparation, academic support, differentiation in the classrooms, technology and community building and service all contribute to making this an outstanding school for our children. I would also reinforce that the school has set very clear expectations for its students AND reinforces them!"

    "We transferred to this school following two years at a top-rated public school in another town. School of St. Mary is an amazing combination of academics, character-building, and Catholic values and education. The teachers and staff are caring and top-notch, offering differentiated learning and technology to support the curriculum. Our children learn how to be good, caring people with character and Catholic values. Leadership cares about the students and families. It's a truly unique, special environment for which I'm grateful."

    "A positive is the community is very involved. Unfortunately, the school's leadership is very poor and there is a lack of clear and consistent expectations."

    "This is not good. The leadership in this school is awful. My child was hurt so much by this school."
