Not the best. A lot of videos and bad gossip and teachers. Did not like the teachers and anything about it.

I was a student at St. Marys School from Kindergarten-2nd grade. I am in high school now so I went before it was a "basilica". This school is HEAVILY favoring girls in which the boys get no teacher attention and therefore, didn't learn much. Bullying isn't handled well in this school whatsoever. My favorite teacher who was actually nice was the librarian and she ended up passing away which is very sad. Unless you are a rich white person this school isn't for you. I would say at most 8% of this school is African-American.

Our child was at St. Mary’s for one year, and that was enough. He makes friends easily because he is an easy-going kid who plays fair. But I will say that the parent community is incredibly unwelcoming for those who don’t fit the mold (mostly white, wealthy, country club members). Most—not many, MOS...

I am the parent of four students at St. Mary’s, and after nearly a decade my oldest will be graduating this coming spring. Simply put, St. Mary’s is not just a school, it is a family. My husband and I chose St. Mary’s over a well-regarded FCPS elementary school, because we wanted something more. We...
