There needs to be better communication from the administration with the parents and students. The athletic programs are the on things that have been getting better over the past few years.

My experience with Damien Memorial School was an okay experience. It was not the best, but it also was not the worst. The school felt like it was doing the bare minimum for me, the school curriculum for theology felt lazy and repetitive to what we already learned in the other years. For the one on one talk with the counselor, it felt biased and I felt as if they wanted to rush me out of there. Other than that, I like my friends and most of my teachers and how some of them are passionate about what they teach and try to inspire us to be interested.

Great School. I see much happening in the growth of the school. I highly recommend taking a tour of the campus during school hours to understand what your child's will be experiencing.

Overall, the school had a good run. However, with the way things are, the school's foreseeable future is uncertain.

My grade for Damien is a "D" overall. If you are looking to send your child to a Catholic school, send them elsewhere. This school does not foster a CATHOLIC education. Mass is an "option" on some days, when administration should incorporate it into the days schedule. Read their mission statement an...
