As of the 2014 STMM and the catholic dioceses of Raleigh has implemented the common core standards. As a parent of multiple students in the school I have seen it have a significant negative impact on the character and the effectiveness of the education. I have seen my children confused by the inconsistent content and fall behind in performance. I have held my tongue till now due in great part to the insistence by the teachers and staff that it was an improvement over the past methods and that once the wrinkles have been ironed out it will prove to be better. I am sorry but I will no longer stand by and let my children be guinea pigs in an unproven system when the previous worked so well. After applying at another private school and having our children placement tested, we have discovered that our children are so far behind that they might have to repeat their respective grades. The level of betrayal and anger at this is hard to express here in words. The teachers and staff however are all true believers despite evidence to the contrary.
We have sent our two kids to school there, from pre-school to 8th grade. We have had nothing but a really good experience. Stmm provided all that we expected, from a enriching religious environment to a great solid academic school. I will admit that not all the teachers were great, but most of them were wonderful. The teachers showed their care for the students as individuals and were willing to work with the parents. As for the academics, I believe the students were very well prepared for High School. I would definitely recommend this school.
This school has some good things but when you are paying alot of money in tuition you expect some of the negative things to not be present. In the 3-4 grades, there were kids that simply were not being taught like they should and the teacher told the parents that their kid needed tutors. From a parent that has been there since the beginning of this school, I was so angry when I came into the classroom one day and found the teacher surfing the internet. Three days earlier she told me my kid was behind and needed a home tudor.
