St Mary’s Elementary School

You know, I had a great time here. I spent 13 years here (not in the elementary school, but total). The thing is, this school is designed to make dumb people look smart. The campus is beautiful (see: Carroll House), though the school itself could use some updating. The teachers are adequate, it’s just as cliquey as every private school out there, most of the kids have an overinflated sense of entitlement, and the programs (art, music, etc) are pretty much non-​existant.
The benefits are the small environment – you really get to know everyone in your class, your teachers, principals (which can be good or bad, lol), etc, the close-​knit community, the whole God thing (if you’re into that), the uniforms (my favorite part of a private school, and I’m not even kidding. I miss those damn things!).
If it’s your deal, give it a try. Going to the elementary school makes getting into the high school super-​easy, and the high school, while a joke, looks good on a college app.
