"This school is one of the most unfriendly places for families,odd since it is a school. The admin inacts policies like closed practices for all sports, with NO explanation. You as a parent, are not allowed to monitor what is going on while YOUR child is practicing! They have started renting out the gym to adult league teams during the practice times of the school children. This has forced the kids to go and pay for other places to practice. A second road was created over the summer with the intention of helping with the massive congestion during car line. The problem again, with no explanation, you have to have a child or children in 4th grade and up to use the road/drop off in that location. So if you have 1 child in 4 th grade and another in 2nd, you could go through car line twice, we all have time for that in the morning don't we! You could use the original line for both kids and wait 15mins everyday just to get through. While the new road/drop off is under used because it is off limits to more than half the school. This admin is equally unfriendly and not open to suggestion for improvement in ANY area! All this frustration and you haven't even entered the school."

"Our family has attend Ave for a couple years. Having to move on short notice from out of state, left little time to invetigate schools. Our children have always attended Catholic school. We will not be returning to Ave next year. Most of the problems at this school stem from the administration. They are unprofessional and completely disorganized. Parents are given little information as to the daily activities and running of the school. The information that is given is more often than not, incomplete and at the last minute. Their tution is the highest in the area and Ave has the least to offer. Ave has minimal clubs and activities. Every other week has some sort of fundraising and parents are never told or see where the money goes. The classrooms with computers are out of date or broken. You pay large fees (like for books) at this school on top of the regular tution, yet many classes have NO books. Please take the time and really research the school you plan on going to. Any Catholic school should be getting better reviews than the surrounding public schools. We have been absolutley disappointed!"

"I have two children that attend Ave Maria. I am not only impressed with the curriculum but also the community feel of the school. The academics are excellent. The teachers are incredible and all of the students, staff and parents are compassionate and invested. I feel good about knowing my children are going to be educated academically and also in a faith filled environment. I want my children to grow into wonderful people and be prepared for the real world. I know my children are in good hands at Ave Maria Catholic school and off to a great start in preparing them for their future."

"There is nothing at this school that justifies a tuition let alone one over $5,000. This school has some WONDERFUL teachers and some that have no right working with children. If you are wanting a Catholic education, look elsewhere! There is little to NO faith formation done at this school. There is also an obvious friction between the school and parish. The administration chooses to ignore extensive problems like bullying. Save your money and go to your neighborhood public school, you will have the same experience for free."

"I attended Ave Maria for 9 years and in 2010, I continued onto Regis Jesuit after being accepted with distinction. During my time at Ave I made some of the best friends anyone could ask for. Even a year after continuing, we are still close. In addition, Ave prepared me for the academic workload and and the high expectations at Regis. The teachers at Ave are exceptional and their enthusiasm is contagious. The material they taught was challenging without being cumbersome. The uniform code seems strict, but in reality it simplifies mornings and it helps us to look past superficial things like clothing. Overall, my time at Ave Maria was incredible and I wouldn't have traded it for the world."
