"If you value your child’s emotional well-being and development, DO NOT SEND THEM HERE. We unenrolled our son from pre-k once it was made clear that the teacher nor the principal have much knowledge about typical child development. The pre-k teacher does NOT have the personality to be teaching little ones or children in general. Think Miss Honey vs. Trunchbull in Matilda. My son’s behavior shifted drastically about one month into the program. I can almost guarantee something happened in that classroom that I wasn’t made aware of. I say this, as I observed the aid dragging my son out of the room by his arm when I had to pick him up one afternoon. Towards the end of our tenure, the principal was making comments related to ADHD and medication…he needs evaluated…he needs DART. Do not comment on things outside of your expertise. Thank God I’m a mental health professional with the knowledge to combat this. I feel for parents who don’t and get convinced something is wrong with their child when it’s the adults. There are better supports out there. They do a great job talking to adults like children when it comes to fundraising too!"

"Great school. Great teachers. I have my second child going through now and would do it all over again"

"They changed their name but the staff and principal are the same. This used to be Saint Margaret's of Scotland. Copied below is my review that they've managed to remove from the public eye via name change. Due to a long history of Saint Margaret of Scotland school being recommended to me by my co-workers, my wife and I decided to send our daughter to St Margaret of Scotland school. This is my daughter's third year at St Margaret's of Scotland. She's currently in the second grade and I am sorry to report that not only can I no longer keep my daughter at this school but I can no longer recommend sending a child to the school at all. There's a child in my daughter's class who is assaulted her multiple times and has not been expelled or even severely disciplined. The most a child has gotten is a talking to. In fact at one of our forced volunteer events I spoke to the child's mother and she was unaware that there had even been any problems with my daughter despite having had multiple problems in the past with her son doing similar things to other children. Assault after assault the principal has been incapable of handling the issue when I confronted him about it he feigns ignorance. He tries to tell me that he wants to empower his teachers by letting them handle things. However when you speak to the teachers about this, they tell you that they are discouraged by the principal from contacting parents about issues like this. I wish I could recommend this school because academically I have zero problems with it. However due to the recent events over the last seven months that my daughter has been in the second grade I cannot recommend a school that cannot keep a child safe or stop another child from assaulting other children. It's a sad State of Affairs when you can not trust a school to keep your child safe from other children."

"BEWARE honestly send your kids to the public school near by because the school is disgusting and is crumbling in on itself. They are bad at money management and waste it on useless materials and better yet your kid will learn NOTHING. Don't be fooled by all the five star reviews. Faculty is awful and rude and Its building is moldy and its riddled with ants. Don't waste your time or money."

"My daughter attends Guardian Angel Academy. The teachers are wonderful and the principal is outstanding and goes the extra mile for the students. If you are considering this school I completely recommend sending your children here"
