My children have the right amount of homework. Our children like to read and explore, so there is a good balance of assigned homework.

As a Catholic School- this what it stands for! We want our children to be honest, caring, loving people and respectful of those less fortunate.

Our children were new to St. Theresa School in 2015-16. Our children had a great experience. Our children were challenged academically. Love the diversity of the school body. The teachers are fantastic and the principal is outstanding. We highly recommend St. Theresa School. Impressed with the use of technology at the school. The leadership of the principal is awesome and it reflects in the classrooms. Our students love the Foss Science program. We are impressed with the facility upgrades. Go St. Theresa School!!!!

Our family is new to St. Theresa School this year. We were impressed with the parent turnout on the first day of school. Now that two weeks have been completed, my child is happy and is learning. I have attended morning assembly and like the student participation. When I enter the school office, I am greeted and questions are answered with concern and professionalism, quite different from my public school experiences. The principal is very visible on campus and very approachable. My child's teacher has very high expectations and and the work that I have seen come home requires my child to work a little harder.

This is the hidden gem of the desert. My child has been a student at St. Theresa School for over 5 years. The changes that Mr. Keno and the teaching staff have made in the past year are wonderful. The school has a new sense of pride and stability. Parent involvement is growing and a sense of community is building. Exciting journey upon us all.

This is a wonderful school. When my older child graduated he found high school to be "easy" because he was well prepared to be there and beyond the freshman level. My younger son still attends and is supported in a nurturing, safe and moral environment with outstanding curriculum. Both my boys attended from 1st grade on up. The new principal is fantastic, and even though we have gone through some staffing changes, things are looking better and better. The very sad loss of our 8th grade teacher this year was a blow to us all, but I know that Mr. Keno is looking for the best possible replacement, though no one could ever really replace Mr. Lindsey (RIP). The only thing that is wrong with this school is the politics surrounding parental relationships with each other, but I suppose that is the case with all private schools. Sadly, there are haters and unhappy people everywhere. I feel sorry for their kids. I would highly recommend this school to anyone.

St. Theresa is a school growing through a lot of changes for the good. The new principal Mr. Keno is doing a great job redesigning a school and will make St. Theresa great again. Many of the teachers, parents and staff that have been part of the problem are gone or will be. The new teachers are progressive and excited. Father John is wonderful and the families are very supportive. Academics are excellent. Technology is emphasized which is important and students have Chromebooks in their classroom integrated into the curriculum. Sports programs are very good. St. Theresa is blessed with smaller class sizes compared to the 32+ at Sacred Heart which is a HUGE benefit for most children. St. Theresa is a loving environment and really should be considered for students and families wanting to be part of a very good school with a long established history, that is working extremely hard to become great again!

A horrible school. Teachers are lacking the nurturing caring attitudes you would want for those developing the minds of you small child. Sad to say this school only carries the name of a Catholic School but the values and ethics are not here. Tuition is way to high cost for low rent service and care. Would never recommend for anyone.

Terrible leadership and lack of accountability are only two reason why I have to rate this school unsatisfactory. I was seriously disappointed by most aspects of this school, including the principal who failed to solve serious issues that were presented to her. This is definitely not what one would consider a normal Catholic school environment. Unfortunately I would not recommend this school to anybody searching for a good quality private school for their child.

Excellent community, safe, loving, yet still challenging. This school is awesome! But remember-the parents are always the primary educators, a school can not do the job of a parent.
