Mercy is amazing. Great teachers and a truly safe school thanks to Juan. Parents are friendly and the atmosphere is family like. On a down side there have been 1-2 teachers that were okay. Not horrible but definitely not terrific like most. Both are gone so no worries.

Coming into a new environment was scary but Mercy's community welcomed me with open arms. Their love and support for each other is how they stuck together through rough times. T Mercy sisters will never leave one behind or alone.

I liked being at Mercy a lot. The teachers are great and if their not, the school removes them and tries to find better. The sports are all pretty good and the campus is beautiful!
