[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I met the principal at St. Mark during the pandemic. Sadly, I was there for funeral.

She was very devoted to her students and when I asked about how she was managing Covid protocols, she talked about the feedback she got from her community and that she made decisions based on what her community valued.

I just found her to be warm and a great collaborator. [/quote]

Without sounding harsh, she’s a terrible administrator and super awkward/cold. She’s unwilling to impartially hear concerns and becomes very defensive. She treats students/ parents differently based on how much money they give/how much they volunteer. High staff turnover each year. [/quote]

Yikes! Is this from your experience as a parent at the school? Any other feedback?[/quote]

My kids go to St. Mark and I like the principal. I haven’t had the experience of the prior poster. It is a sweet little school. [/quote]

Thanks -- I would love to hear more about your experience at St. Mark. How do you like the academics and culture of the school? Is there an overall vibe of strictness? I ask because a former parent there told me about their teacher asking about which kids went to mass, which did not, etc., and some messaging during mass. Do you think there are major differences between it and OLGC? [/quote]

To your last question - no. I do not think it is very different from OLGC. I would probably pick the school that is closer to where you live. [/quote]
