My Nonprofit Reviews

Speaking from a parent perspective, this is the best middle school for girls in St. Louis!! I am a mother of four extremely intelligent children...Maurice (graduate of SLUH, current student at Missouri University of Science and Technology), Aurelia (10th grade/Incarnate Word Academy), Anderson (8th grade/Loyola Academy of Saint Louis and Andrea (6th grade/Marian Middle school) so as you can see education is a priority in my household. I tried public schools, charter school and magnet schoools in St. Louis but they all fell short of challenging my children. My children never had homework and scored straight A's in all areas. Although I am not rich by any means, I wanted a great education for my children. Marian provides that education for my daughter based on my income and is willing to help any family regardless of financial situation!! Marian cares about each child's success and it shows through education, my daughter is reading post-high school books. Marian also understands that family involvement is a must in order for a child to be successful, I know what Andrea is doing in school via website and teachers. The charter schools that my children attended in the past made me feel unwelcome when I wanted to drop in on my lunch break just to get an idea of what my child was learning. Not Marian...I am welcome by one of the most knowledgeable people I know...Ms. Pearl. She knows my family as whole and is concerned about all the families at Marian. Ms. Pearl make suggestions on things that my children and I can do better their education, which is beyond what she is required to do! The teachers Sister Sara, Ms. Klonsky, Ms. Hearn, Ms. Aigaghi, Ms. Fox and Ms. Olson are just a few of the teachers that go above and beyond their job to make sure my daugher is successful and reaches her goal as an engineer. The school also has an online website for families called Teacherease which gives you up to the minute information on your child's progress and if you daughter needs extra help with a subject there are also practice worksheets/quizzes on the website. I use to have problems with keeping up with my daughter's progress and what she needed help with and my daughter won't volunteer this information. Well Andrea had a C in one of her classes and after talking with her teacher Ms. Fox and she helped us with the website, that grade is now a B!!
