Presentation Catholic School

I have to agree with Jackie that this school, just like any other Catholic school is money hungry. Outrageous prices for Fall Fest wristbands, $ 60 for unlimited «rides»? Come on! An inflatable slide and ferris wheel. I think I will choose to take my kids to Disneyland instead. What a crock! It’s not about religion or celebrating Jesus, it’s about how much money you can contribute to them. And save your opinion Kate B. I don’t care what you have to say.

Providing my boys with a Catholic education at Presentation Parish School is so incredibly worth it! Not only does Presentation provide an excellent education, but it provides a faith-​filled and caring environment. My boys are getting a well-​rounded education. All the teachers go above and beyond to help every student succeed. They are energetic and love to teach and it shows.

As a parent I have to say I love Presentation Catholic School. My daughter has done her 1^st grade and moving into second grade. I have to say the teachers and Ms. Amen brought the best out in my daughter, she is more vocal and open to expressing herself and feels more confident about conducting work on her own and in a group enviroment. She has made many great friends and seeing such community between the staff and parents are great. We have great events and the fact that parents are involved makes it all that much better. I can say that I have found a better place for my child to be at. I would highly suggest that if you are seeking a private school that you make Presenation your home, so many great people and great groups and clubs and events for everyone.

I feel like Presentation doesn’t put enough emphasis on Honors students. Here at Presentation, they break you off into three separate math groups. I feel like if your in the advanced class, the teacher cannot help you as much as they want to, and if your in the remedial class, the teacher could honestly care less about you! These people are seriously money hungry. And, even if your not Catholic, you still have to attend mass EVERY month. And no, they do not have ice cream anymore. Also, this school seems to focus too much on silly projects, and not enough on actual academics! I do not recommend Presentation.

Green and white plaid skirts for EIGHT YEARS! I cringe just thinking about it.
When you can name every teacher you’ve had from 1^st through 8^th grade, a school has truly left its mark.
If you currently attend, I would LOVE to know if there is still an ice cream lady… for 15 cents in the 80s you could choose between a fudge bar, crunch bar, orange bar, or missle pop. My heart broke when they raised the prices to a quarter.
Pros: Monthly hot lunches (back when $ 2.25 nabbed you 3 McDonald’s hamburgers), $ 1 for milk at lunch for a MONTH (best if you brought your own Nestle Quik powder), 6^th Grade Science Camp, Sports Day, rainy day school-​wide Bingo, and Heads-​Up 7-​Up.
Cons: Singing «We Are the World» during mass practice but having to de-​program yourself from mimicking the way the artists sang each line (it’s hard to anti-​Lauper yourself), 105 degree recesses on the blacktop, being pulled into the boy’s bathroom by Joey Piccardo, and watching Robert Tristan fall and crack his head open during Red Rover. Yikes.
