Immaculate Conception Catholic Academy 179-14 Dalny Road, Queens, New York 11432,

"My son is currently enrolled and I must say I’m impressed. From the Teachers to the Office Staff everyone is so helpful. Reading these past reviews, saddens me to see others didn’t have such great experience. But overall, we’re glad to have chosen ICCA as one of the top picks."

"I am currently a high school student who has experienced on being a student in this school. Yes, before I tell you my experiences I am one of the students who has been expelled. My reason? Writing an honest review about this school during my 7th grade year. I was just a 6th grade student when I first joined ICCA, just like always I admired this school because I met the principal before I even came into this private school. I would ride my bike with my friends around the parking lot area and find it empty most of the time. During my 6th grade year the teachers were very sympathetic, at first I thought this school would be great! Until I hit 7th. As I reached 7th grade everything was hard. I had really bad depression and eventually turned suicidal, just like every teachers job they send you to talk to someone. My depression continued, I guess they eventually just became sick and tired of my depression that they told my mom I needed to go to a “Mental Hospital”. Really, I couldn’t believe they have said that. Eventually they found my first review about this school and called me downstairs, you may think they found out just by scrolling through google. No, they lied to my closest friend. Although I get mad at her time to time just thinking about the fact she exposed me I couldn’t help but laugh at my own stupidity. They manipulated her calming her with non sense such as “He or She won’t get hurt” “He or She will not be effected besides a small punishment” “He or She will have detention after a talk” and eventually falling for their lies she told them I was the one who wrote it for her safety and her thought of “I will tell them so she will get in trouble now then later, it’s better”. I got called and got badly scolded, now it wasn’t a chat. It was more of like she was screaming, shouting in anger like there is no tomorrow. My depression became worse, eventually she called my mom and everything and we all had a seat in the office. And she continued with a blunt face, “You’re expelled”. It came to my conclusion that because she is only the principal she cannot expel me unless she highly recommended expulsion to the super intendant. With tears running down my face I nodded my head and accepted it. A few days later it hit me then how happy I was to be expelled, the way the teachers from 7th grade treated me like a parasite, how much they screamed at me for being depressed, this school was nothing like my 6th grade expectation. I can’t help but wonder if the teachers hated me because I was Asian since Asian students there also claim to be badly mistreated, or if it was my depression. I was student council treasurer that time, and just like always I have my goods and bads in that school, even after I got expelled my friends would complain about the school even after I have gotten expelled. But that isn’t my business to tell. This school will manipulate you to loving this school, until you come near 7th/8th grade. That’s when they will show their true colors. Special thank you to Mr.Ballenes who has taught me so much during my life as a student there at ICCA. Special thank you to Mrs.Pattington who has taught me about plays and drama. Ms. Breen, I hope you see this and know I do not hate you, I am just disappointed on how sister just told my mom I needed to go to a Mental Hospital. Thank you for accepting me as a student in ICCA, I am glad I was able to end the journey with a lot of friends."

"i am a graduate from this school. words cannot describe how much stress this school put me through. the teachers and ESPECIALLY the principal are horrible people. they don’t care about the students, they only care about the reputation of the school. i agree that a school should be strict and raise their children with values but this school is on a whole other level. we don’t feel happy in this school. the principal makes such haste decision regarding the children’s future. all this money going towards this school is not worth it. i wish i never attended this school because mentally it really messed me up."

"This school was one of the best educational experiences of my life, and I will always be grateful for all they have taught me. I can't believe time flies so fast... that I have graduated from this school already... but if you ask me again if I would go back in time, all the way to 5th grade when I first took a step into what felt as if my family... my home, if I would go back in time through all the good times with my friends, and all the academic accomplishments, and through all the bad times when I received a detention, or a bad grade... without a doubt in my mind, in just a nanosecond... I would say yes."

"My 6 year old son has been humiliated and shammed by something he has no control over, the time he gets to school. It seems the emphasis is on highlighting the problem without discussing solutions. There is a substantial portion of the curriculum devoted to religion and God's love and compassion, yet my son has not been dealt with in a loving and compassionate manner. His feelings regarding detention have not been explored, as I'm sure it can bring down a child's morale. Once a happy child, he has expressed he does not want to attend the school any more."
