I got bullied everyday because of the way I look the teachers treated me unfairly because I am a student of color a lot of the people at the school called me a disease and made racist comments until I couldn't take it anymore I became really depressed but I didn't leave the school because my mother payed a lot of money for me to go there I got bullied the whole time I was there I do not recommended this school for any students of color or anyone with different beliefs this school is for privileged, racist,christian white people only.

As an alumna from this school, I can say that they do not care for students. Bullying is not an issue that is ever addressed, and there are little to no resources to get help. Because it is a Catholic institution, if you believe anything different, you are wrong, and since you attend that school, you have to agree with whatever they tell you to agree with.

At St. Mary you get to experience what public schools don't have. You are able to practice your religious faith and learn more about how you can become closer to God. I would say my experience here was amazing, because I was able to learn more about our church history. This school gives great opportunities for all students. I wouldn't want to change anything about this school, because St. Mary feels like a family and that's rare for all students to feel anywhere else.

I go to school here and its terrible I would leave in a heartbeat. My parents say it's good for me if only they knew I get bullied every day and i get in trouble for standing up for myself.
