St. Thomas More is a wonderful parish school that offers an authentically Catholic education and strong academics. Our children are thriving here amongst the faculty and staff. The parish priests are ever present and take the time to teach the students. They are great examples and truly forming disciples of Christ. We are blessed to be a part of this school and church community.

Our kids have not had good experiences at this school. Bullying is rampant and the administration does nothing to help the kids who are hurting. They seem to be afraid of the parents who do everything at the school. Politics are out of control here. The education is slipping as all the teachers are leaving. All of the kids in the school are terrified of the art teacher and that should be the one class where things are fun. The PE and music teacher are the only redeeming things about this school. I would not recommend this school unless you are willing to spend your days at the school schmoozing the teachers/administration.

The staff, priests, families, and parishioners are an exceptionally supportive and intertwined community, from preschool to 8th grade. While the test scores and merits speak for themselves, there are also...

St. Thomas More has given our girls an incredibly well rounded experience. I am confident they are getting an incredible education and will be very well prepared academically. But equally important to us, they have incredible support. When our family experienced some unexpected hardship that flipped...
