St Matthew Catholic School

Posted: July 9, 2025

The school used to be great. It went downhill within a year, and all of the longtime teachers left. It got so bad that some teachers left mid-year. They constantly play musical teachers. There's drama amongst the staff which I have witnessed first hand while at school functions. They raise the price of tuition significantly every year to the point that it will no longer be affordable to send even 1 child. The first year, my child was provided with support for special needs. Since then, nothing has been done to support her even after meetings with the counselor, teachers, and the principal. The school is garbage. Save your money and send your child elsewhere.

This school has awful leadership, and I don’t think there is a word that can accurately describe the teachers, administration, and especially the parents. This school churns out automatons trained to be replicas of awful parents and teachers, from the questionable morals to the lack of ethics. One can only hope the students can avoid the horrible paths the parents have followed and eventually overcome the innate programming to become decent human beings. Catholic school? If only.

SMCS is wonderful school. They’re very helpful and accommodating for students that have IEP’s (or just need a little extra help). We switched schools threes ago and the regret is that we didn’t do it sooner.

I have 2 boys who have attended since pk4. We love it here. One has a learning disability and has been given so many opportunities from speech to extra help with title 1 and more time on assignments. There has been great communication from every teacher we’ve had. St. Matthew’s is a place where they feel safe and enjoy going. I haven’t ever had them not want to go to school and I personally think that’s amazing! I’ve gotten to see them learn and grow in an environment where they feel safe and loved and I would not trade that for the world.

I have two daughters who have been attending SMCS since Pre-K3 who are now in 1st and 5th grades. The teachers and staff are all kind and caring. You can see how much they all love the students in the ways they interact every day. Many teachers have children that also attend the school, and some teachers attended SMCS when they were students. The school not only teaches the children the core curriculum, but also about responsibility, a commitment to the community and others, as well as a love for God. SMCS fosters a sense of family between the students as well, pairing the 8th graders as buddies for the younger students. There is truly no other school that I would want to send my children.

We love St. Matthew’s! We felt welcome since the very first time we visited the school on a tour in 2009, and ever since we felt as if SMCS is our home.
I agree that no school is perfect, but this school community always looks for ways to motivate students to do their best and encourage parents to participate in school events.
Whenever there’s an issue, the administration and teachers take care of it immediately and accordingly.
As a mom of a SMCS alumni and another one in middle school, I would recommend this school as a great option to receive a great education and to build a strong religious foundation.

Once upon a time, the school was awesome then… the staff along with leadership forgot we reside in a diverse community. Every school has drama and they are not any different from the public schools. SMCS could do better in the area of counteracting the bullying and racism. Some teachers are awesome and others aren’t, the middle school needs to be revamped! My child’s teacher (7th grade) is marginal, disrespectful and doesn’t properly communicate, you want the support but don’t listen to the parent. Admin could use some work along with leadership. (Grace was the best admin) If they increase pay, then the selection of teachers would be better. Instead you get those that wouldn’t last a day in public school so the thinking outside the box and diversity is nonexistent. Their is a heavy mixing of politics which has no place in academics, during COVID the principal couldn’t stop praising the president and governor. Private school education has diminished just like public schools. Leadership definitely favors certain children and others are nothing more than a scholarship check.

As an alternative to public education, this school is above average in comparison to surrounding school options. Staff members maintain a positive and professional rapport with students, and have emphasized teachings of social emotional learning, especially in the midst of the COVID pandemic. My student frequently mentions discussions the class has regarding how to treat others with kindness and live in Christ’s likeness and image. The environment is friendly and welcoming for all persons, including non-Catholic attendees. I personally believe students could be challenged more to think outside the box and complete projects out of the ordinary. However, the school continues to communicate that they are moving forward with a STREAM environment, more projects and hands on learning for our kids - I look forward to this progression and hope to see it in action while my student remains in this school.

After reading other reviews, I am disheartened to see some of the other comments made, specially regarding the administration and staff. All are entitled to personal opinions, however I strongly disagree with the comments made. Although my student has yet to reach middle school, I have heard nothing but positivity and excitement from my child and their peers regarding middle school staff.

I absolutely love SMCS! I was homeschooled as a child so yes, I am THAT mom. I am super protective of my children and want to be 100% aware of what is being poured into them and who is the one doing it. SMCS offers so many opportunities for parents to volunteer and really get involved with the kids. They also require backgrounds checks from volunteers and employees, knowing this puts my worries at ease. SMCS has been amazing from the start, they truly treat us as family but are also very profesional and organized. 2/4 of my kids are currently attending SMCS, the other 2 will join as soon as they’re old enough. I love the small class sizes and all of the options SMCS provides my kids with. They have art, spanish, religion…etc It’s awesome. Another thing I love is the uniforms, makes it easier for a mom of 4 and leaves less room for distractions and unnecessary comparisons. SMCS does not tolerate any type of bullying, they address it even if the bullying is done outside of the school (social media). They take pride in caring for their students and treating them all with the same love and respect they deserve.

No school is perfect by no means. There will always be issues big or small. My child attended from K-8th grade. She loved it a lot. She loved all her teachers. Now that she is high school she still comes and visits the teachers here. Administration not always the best but the teachers made up for that for sure.

We have been at St. Matthews for four years and are amazed at the well rounded education our children are receiving. Not only are they thriving in the classroom with academics, the focus on religion and being a honorable, kind member of society is so valuable. The new STREAM lab is a huge asset to the students and being engaged throughout the week in art, robotics, PE and spanish is so important at their age levels. Our children truly love going to school every day!

We love St.Matthew’s! Our son has been at SMCS since pre-k-we have navigated Covid/virtual learning and everything in between. Mrs.Tuerk and her staff did a phenomenal job making sure the kids stayed on track and had a smooth transition back into their classrooms! Teachers are responsive and supportive of the kids! The school encourages involvement of the parents (service hour, PTO, etc!)

Great school good education. Help my son with his school work he has grown so much in the school and I have to thanks all the staff. There no bullying. Just once in a while kids can be mean but the teachers correct them and they get redirected. I don’t think is any racism in the school. We are a mix family I speak English with a strong accent. Never my son had a problem, as a Catholic school has their own rules and for some kids that come from other type school my be a change use the uniform correctly and respect God and our country our elders.
Me encanta la escuela el apoyo Que Han brindado los professor es a mi hijo es de felicitarles la education Que recive muy buena i la fe catolica
No hay racismo ni bullying. Lis profesores estan siempre ahi supervisando a los alumnos

Posted: November 26, 2020

I would not recommend this school if you desire an environment where teachers communicate, non catholic or want an atmosphere where leadership doesn’t re-enforce racism. This school was a determining factor for not joining this parish. In the midst of covid, they are still forcing the families to commit to services hours in the community or pay them a whopping 15.00 per hour. Nothing in this city pays that kind of hourly wage. There is no compassion any where on this staff.

homework is a necessary evil for every student...but, the younger grades really shouldn't have as much as they do

Posted: September 16, 2020

My gr'daghter's teachers from VPK - 1st grade have all been awesome! Kind, patient, understanding, helpful and push her just enough...

Posted: September 16, 2020

my gr'dghter has done well learning every person was created in the image of God and we all are important

Posted: September 16, 2020

Mrs Tuerk does a good job maintaining an open door policy for the students and seems to communicate w/the staff well

WE WONT BE RETURNING ITS NOT WORTH THE HEADACHE AND SEEING ARE CHILD SAD ON A DAILY BASIS!

Posted: May 27, 2020

Each teacher is different and homework is just work that wasn’t finished in class. Work assigned is not challenging to the students.

Posted: May 27, 2020

Too much favoritism shown and a huge lack of diversity. Instructors lack understanding on effective and positive behavior practices.

Posted: May 27, 2020

Leadership is the most in effective we have ever seen. Each year we are prompted to do reviews on yelp and great schools in exchange for volunteer hours. Reviews are closely monitored by staff as to counteract any negative remarks. This school needs new leadership. Current leadership lacks intelligence and integrity when it comes to education and diversity.

Posted: May 27, 2020

This is the first the school is will to take McKay students. It’s all based on money and not a desire to teach.

Posted: May 27, 2020

Leadership and staff is totally unresponsive to bullying. Sadly its a breeding ground for bullies. Even when reported, the staff will fail to act and eventually your child will be singled out especially if they are not Catholic.

Posted: March 23, 2020

Our experience at St. Matthew's has be a great one. The communication from the leadership and staff is impressive. The guidelines they set for the students allows for a proper learning atmosphere. There is a great diversity of children that attend the school. Each student is treated equally no matter what their ethnicity. I would and have recommended St. Matthew's Catholic school to many of my friends.

Posted: March 23, 2020

The homework that is assigned is the appropriate amount for the kids to emphasize what they are taught at school.

Posted: March 23, 2020

The teachers do a great job of preparing the students for what is ahead of them if it be middle school or high school. They provide the students with the information that they need for their next step in life.

Posted: March 23, 2020

No matter what race, nationality, or color of your skin the staff treats everyone equally. They serve as great roll models to each of the children attending the school.

Posted: March 23, 2020

One of the best qualities of the leadership is their communication. They are very approachable and always there when you need them.

Posted: March 23, 2020

Not every student is the same and the teachers at St. Matthew's do a great job of catering to each students needs. The teacher to student ratio is the perfect amount. Teachers are able to dedicate time to each student and provide a healthy learning environment.

Posted: March 23, 2020

The leadership at this school make it very aware that they have an anti-bullying policy at the school and also cyberbullying.

Posted: March 23, 2020

My overall experience is phenomenal. Once I walked into the doors of St. Matthew's, I knew I was where I needed to be. I couldn't pick a better place for my child to attend school. We are blessed to be part of the St. Matthew's Catholic School Community.

Posted: March 23, 2020

The homework is closely aligned to the class teachings and serve as educational support for the students.

Posted: March 23, 2020

The teachers are out of this world!! All teachers from Pre-K through 8th grade are well-qualified individuals that strive to be the best! They are very caring individuals that treat each student with love and respect.

Posted: March 23, 2020

The school environment is one that fosters healthy, social relationships. Social, emotional learning is integrated into the daily lessons to help teach students morals that are faith-based and exhibit great character.

Posted: March 23, 2020

The leadership at the school is spectacular. The principal is very professional, respectful, caring, and involved. She is very rarely at her desk because she is busy immersing herself in the school and interacting with the students and teachers.

Posted: March 23, 2020

Not only are the teachers making appropriate accommodations for students based on their learning needs, but our guidance counselor and ESE resource teacher both pay close attention to student needs.

Posted: March 23, 2020

The school staff work together to create a safe learning environment. Bullying of any kind is not tolerated and handled professionally giving each student a voice.

Posted: March 21, 2020

There is no real help for students, teachers are not well educated in subjects they are teaching. Complain to the leadership and your child will be singled out!

Posted: March 21, 2020

A group of teachers that are unable to connect to a diverse student body.

Posted: March 21, 2020

Breading ground for bullies and if your child defends themself they become a target.

Posted: March 21, 2020

New leadership is a must. However because this principle brings the donations the Diocese will not remove her. It’s all about the money and not the students. The current principle promotes racism and bullying.

Posted: March 21, 2020

St. Mathews is not a place for children that are non white/non catholic therefore I effectively failing in the area of support.

Posted: March 21, 2020

The staff does nothing. The principle and certain teaches are the leader of the hate virus!

Posted: March 21, 2020

We wont be returning and nor do I recommend them to families with non white children.

Posted: November 13, 2019

Posted: November 13, 2019

The school is in need of fresh voices in order to be effective in the classroom.

Posted: November 13, 2019

A breeding ground for bullying from students and teachers. One again the principle gives the nod for this type of behavior.

Posted: November 13, 2019

The leadership is beyond awful and needs to just be replaced. The leadership is poor and because the body follows the head..... the level of prejudice exemplified by current principle is beyond describable

Posted: November 13, 2019

No, because they don’t accept any students with disabilities.

Posted: November 13, 2019

Not in the least bit and its awful in our current society.

Posted: November 13, 2019

We wont be back next year and finishing this year is a struggle

Posted: May 8, 2019

This was our first year at SMCS and it’s wonderful. Our child has accomplished so much academically! He is in the 4th grade although it was a challenge switching from public to private it is well worth it! The teachers and principal communicate which is a plus. As parents we are always welcomed. Family participation is a must in education and this school is a model on what education should encompass. We enjoy the close knit community of SMCS!

Posted: January 11, 2019

We could not be happier or more impressed with our son’s Pre-K teacher, Ms. Gioia. She has far exceeded our hopes and expectations by not only making our transition to the St. Matthews family smooth and rewarding, she has instilled in our son a genuine love for school. I cannot say enough how lucky we feel to benefit from her level of caring, attention to detail, fairness, structure and professionalism. In addition, her memory is extraordinary. In a recent conference she was able to recall minute details about every aspect of our son’s experience this year.

We have two boys and our oldest attended SMCS from K-8. Our youngest is entering the 8th grade this year and he also started in K. We could not of asked for a better education and foundation for our kids. The teachers are all like family,they care so much for the kids but also teach them how to walk in Gods faith. We always recommend SMCS to anyone who asks!

I have two children here, but my daughter, specifically, struggled prior to transferring to St. Matthew's. What I have observed over the last four years is excellent leadership. That happens across the board. The teachers and principal seem to be on the same page. They lead not only through instruction, but by example. My children adore the faculty.

Posted: July 9, 2017

My daughter has ADHD and is behind her peers in reading. They continue to assist us in addressing those issues, but choose as well to celebrate her strengths.

Posted: July 9, 2017

My child had a very difficult experience with bullying this year. Without me calling the principal, teachers came to me with concern because my child was stressed. They did not give up until the children and parents had been called in.

Posted: July 9, 2017

I cannot say enough about how blessed we are to have found St. Matthews. My child was struggling in another school and the structure, instruction, and especially the love shown to her and my family have made ALL of the difference!

Posted: July 9, 2017

The amount of homework assigned is appropriate. Not too much or too little.

Posted: July 9, 2017

Each teacher my children have had have developed an excellent rapport with me and with them in the classroom. They've strived to identify their strengths and weaknesses and incorporate those into their plan so my children could be academically successful.

Posted: July 9, 2017

Children at our school are blessed to receive instruction through the parish priests, teachers, school counselor (who meets with classes frequently and has an open door policy). In addition, we have found that sports programs, and other extracurriculars focus on the child and their development.

Posted: July 9, 2017

They have a great program and there is zero tolerance for it - my boys speak regularly about how this is instilled in them regularly at school.

Posted: July 9, 2017

We are very, very happy - the level of education, the basis of faith and sense of community has been a blessing to our family. Thank you St. Matthews!

Posted: July 9, 2017

The school clearly communicates homework to students (and parents) plus they have online, up to date access to student performance - no surprises at the end of quarter, students informed, parents informed, accountability instilled. Love it!

Posted: July 9, 2017

All teachers encourage and make time to meet. Any challenge we have had with our children the teachers have partnered with us to discuss and implement a solution that all three of us agree on - child, parent and teacher.

Posted: July 9, 2017

Couldn't agree more - being in a faith-based school has developed my boys not only academically but spiritually and we receive regular compliments on their behavior and respect.

Posted: July 9, 2017

The partnership between the church leadership and the school leadership has ensured my children have a balance education in both their faith and academics.

Posted: July 9, 2017

Since I haven't had to engage the school on this topic I didn't feel I should rate.

Posted: May 31, 2017

great school and great atmosphere. Strong faculty.

Posted: February 7, 2017

I wanted to take a moment and thank you from the bottom of my heart for the evening I had with Dylan and Oliver tonight. True, neither of you were physically there, but your spirit, unconditional love, dedication, values, priorities, faith, and overall awesomeness were.

As a parent, which I know we can all relate to, it is natural to wonder, second guess, reflect, and criticize ourselves as we ask if we are doing what we should - if we are truly raising good, wholesome, Christ loving little people.

Tonight was my last night with the boys until 2:00 PM on Christmas Day. We spent the evening just enjoying one another, and I suggested we write our letters to Santa so Shelf the Elf could deliver them while they are with their dad. The boys excitedly got their supplies from their art closet and got to work as I watched, helped and enjoyed.

Why am I telling you this? Because they both finished their lists, but asked if instead they could show me everything they made at school. EVERY single item, craft, composition, illustration, gift, etc. that came out of both of their bags was based on the true reason for the season - Jesus. They didn't simply regurgitate the "Sunday school" answer when we discussed each item - they glowed, they explained, they shared, and they lived their love for Christ.

Thank you. Thank you for making my job easier. Thank you for supporting me always - even when you don't realize you are. Thank you for showing my boys God is real and his love for them will never waiver. Thank you for bringing our faith to life. Thank you for walking the walk and talking the talk. Thank you for loving my most precious gifts just as they are. You are both the epitome of Christian love. Thank you.

Please excuse any typos....this is an emotional email to send, mainly because it is hard to put into words just how much SMCS and the teachers mean to me. Obviously I want my children to succeed in the academic realm, but first and foremost I want them to be good, loving, charitable boys who turn into men displaying these same traits for their families and communities. Days like to today solidify even further my honest belief that God directed me to SMCS for so many wonderful reasons.

Posted: February 7, 2017

My concerns have been effectively dealt with any time I have brought it to their attention.

Posted: February 7, 2017

As an educator myself, I completely agree.

Posted: February 7, 2017

The principal and her administration are dedicated 110% to the students' well being and their families. The church and parish support these efforts in a truly genuine way that means the world to me and my children.

Please excuse any typos....this is an emotional email to send, mainly because it is hard to put into words just how much SMCS and the teachers mean to me. Obviously I want my children to succeed in the academic realm, but first and foremost I want them to be good, loving, charitable boys who turn into men displaying these same traits for their families and communities. Days like to today solidify even further my honest belief that God directed me to SMCS for so many wonderful reasons.

I always know what to expect and what is expected of my children.

AWESOME SCHOOL!!! The best in the area. Initially,I put my son at St Paul catholic school and it was a disaster. I switched him to St Matthew and this was the best decision that I made. St Matthew is an awesome school. The principal is very approachable and kind. She addresses every concern that you may have. This school listens to the parents. The teachers are constantly giving me updates about my son's progress and they tell me what to focus on at home. Trust me, this is the best school in the area and I spoke to other parents and they all feel the same way. I love this school. I moved to Louisiana recently and until this day I cannot find a school like St. Matthew. I visited nearly 50 schools they are nothing like this school. I really think St. Matthew for all they have done to provide a good education to my son.

My children have attended St Matthews going on 5 Years. In this time my children have learned a great deal. The teachers are amazing as well as the parents. I have also had an older daughter graduate from St Matthews to Bishop Kenny, who now makes all A's and takes honors classes. This school prepares the children with the knowledge needed and then some. Teaches them hard work ethics and challenges their thinking. I love that this is a small atmosphere for my children to learn.

My daughter attends St. Matthews and she loves it. As a parent, I have been happy with the teachers and the positive enviroment. I think the teachers expect a lot out of the students which will only help prepare them for what lies ahead. Overall, we think it's a great school!

My children have gone to this school for 3 years now. We are very happy with the school, the teachers and the administration. The only thing that stopped me from giving this a 5 star review is the fact that some of the lower classes don't revive enough of the extra curricular classes, such as art class once a month.

In response to the post dated January 2, 2013: With all due respect, we appreciate all the frustration you feel because of the educational challenges your grandson has had in the different school settings he has been in. Despite the variety of accomodations we provided, we are sorry you were disappointed by our efforts and wish him the best in his new school setting.

St Matthews Catholic School offers the McKay Scholarship for children who are ADHD. My grandson started school in the Fall of 2012 we had high hopes of getting the extra assistance he needed for learning, however after a few meetings with the teacher and numerous emails of concerns regarding his test scores..the teacher stated she could not give him more time for tests or assignments etc. The McKay Scholarship is given to students who specifically need the extra time to complete tests, assignments and extra assistance for learning whatever subject. Again his Mother sent an email to the teacher, principal and the guidance counselor on 12/5/2012 requesting a meeting regarding the concerns she had for her son. As of today 1/2/2013 there has been no acknowledgement from any of the three people mentioned above. My grandson will no longer attend the school as the faculty at this school have failed miserably by not administering the criteria of the McKay Scholarship and should cease advertising they offer the program as the students who need it will not get the accommodations! The last 4 months have been a total Waste!

School is small and ok if you have a child who is struggling academically, scince they don't expect to much from the students. Typical resources but nothing to brag about. Part time is a big thing at this school, part time Gym class, part time counselor, part time computers and library etc.. Cost to go to this school is a lot lower than other private schools, but you know what they say "you get what you pay for". If you are a member of the church you will have a great experience at this school or if you have an average student. School is more interested in raising money, which most parents are fine with because if you are a home room mother expect to spend a lot out of your own pocket and have the same 3 volunteers out of a class of 30 children, most parents can't be bothered, even with the mandatory volunteer hours, most parents just pay for them. Bullying is a problem at this school and will probably be that way in the future the school and principal are in denial and don't want to rock the boat with their parishoiners. Join the church and keep the money flowing and your child will ve a great time up to the 8th grade at this school.
