It is a great school with teachers that care and show it. The Staff is amazing. Everyone is more like family and it has become a great environment for my 7th grade daughter to thrive. The religious education and the morals and values learned will always be apparent in her life and I believe is a great stepping stone to become a well rounded adult. I give thanks to all the teachers that give all their time and energy. Thank you.

St. Michael School in Cranford is an excellent school. My children have learned and grown so much during their time at SMS. SMS Cranford is truly a family environment. Teachers care, students look out for one another, and families unite to assist in making the community inclusive.

You get what you pay for here...and that's not a lot.No extracurricular activities.

Drugs and vaping are rampant....

My daughter graduated from St. Michael's in 2018, and I found she was not only prepared for high school, but EXCELLED. I credit her high school performance to the strong academic foundation she built during her 9 years at SMS. We think of the money we spent to send her to St. Michael's as in investm...
