Holy Innocents School Of The Northwest

Great traditional Catholic education

This school is awful & now I know why it's only $1,800 a year. I went to take a look at it recently and was shocked how bad it was. The classroom is smaller than my living room & the teacher teaches kindergarten, 1st & 2nd grade all in the same room together. The kids were running around barefoot, there was food and messes all over the floor and the room was super crowded and filled with junk. There was a coffee maker hanging off the edge of one table which certainly didn't look safe. There seemed to be no organization in place and I was then told that they do mi hates of learning then a 15 minute break and that just repeats all day. How can they learn with that short amount of instruction time and when they're just looking forward to their upcoming break? I also did not agree with other practices being done there, like the list of children's names on the wall. I was told "They're written in order of their grade point average to motivate the kids. Kids who are higher on the list can bump those that are lower for better seats etc." They also don't write regular letters like we were taught. I forgot what the teacher called it but everything is written on a slant & the letters have all kinds of curly q's on them. The worst part was the feeling I got from the teacher. He was rubbing kids backs, heads & playing with their hair & it did not sit right with me. I was uncomfortable by it to say the least. Do not send your child there! Save your money!
