[quote=Anonymous]Great question.

I went to school with kids from Mother of God (community church) 20 years ago.   The kids were very nice.  They had a reputation of being extremely conservative.  I got the feeling the school was the same way.  Of course my info is way dated.

My kids currently attend MON and have for many years.  The campus is gorgeous.  MON is a great school.  I have yet to meet a child who doesn't love the school.  Academically, I find the school to be challenging for my kids.  They have high expectations.  The school also won the Blue Ribbon award a few years ago.  The parents are involved ....maybe too involved.  The current HSA president is extremely nice and the principal does a good job running the school. They are having an Open House in the fall.  Call the school if you are interested. Tuition has remained low due to heavy donations and robust enrollment.  Community is affluent but not rich generally speaking.  Based on where people live/occupation, I would guess normal incomes are in the 150-300 range though I know 4 families that are most likely in the sub 100k range.

We looked at St. Martin's also before we enrolled in K.  The kids we met at the Open House seemed nice but it is very, very heavily hispanic.  I almost felt like if we had enrolled, we would have gone to the Spanish school.  I also got the impression that the families aren't as affluent.  When we went to the Open House one of the boys had ripped pants and another had a patch on his.   That's not necessarily a bad thing...I don't want to raise a snob either.  I just felt like that MON would have better resources in terms of financial stability, parent involvement (lots of stay at home moms),  better test scores etc...[/quote]
