We have attended Queen of Angels school for the past five years. Weve had wonderful experiences with teachers, staff and the community each year. We started in the pre-school, and I was very pleased with all of the flexible options in the preschool, especially the programs that start at 2. As my children have advanced, I have been very pleased with their academic progress and appreciate the focus on STEAM.This year has been truly exceptional, especially in light of the global pandemic. Queen of Angels has been so thoughtful in the way they have responded to all of these pressures. Our children have been attending in person, and I have been so pleased with the safety routines and protocols they have put in place. I also know people who have chosen the online option for their family and they have been pleased with that as well. There is also extra focus this year on social and emotional learning, with a really thoughtful program in place for all ages. We also have a fantastic new principal this year who is helping us evolve to become an even better school community.

We have two elementary aged children at Queens, and this is our 6th year at the school. We have moved through the Bridge (2 year old) program, preschool and the lower elementary grades. The teachers have been nothing short of amazing, many of which have been at the school for long tenures. We loved the flexibility of the Bridge and preschool programs, allowing parents to select a schedule (3/5 days, full/half days) that work for their individual families. My daughters progression into the lower elementary grades has been seamless, and she is excelling academically. The school has strong parental involvement leadership from the school and parish. The new principal has done an outstanding job navigating COVID protocols and managing the parent and teacher community. Even in the lower elementary grades, the school delivers strong programs in music/art, reading, STEM. The school culture encourages noble behavior from its students. We are thrilled to be a part of the Queens community.

We are in our 7th year at Queen of Angels, with a 5th and 6th grader right now. We are extremely pleased with our school. It is a great community, where our children have felt at home. This year, the school has particularly handled its COVID protocols very well, with few interruptions. I have been so happy that they were in-person this past school year. Queen of Angels has very good, caring teachers. It is very well organized, and we have a great new principal.

We love Queen of Angels! This is our 6th year, and weve been really happy. Small class sizes means lots of individual attention and our kids feel loved. SO impressed with the Administrations response to COVID-19 this year. Theyve done a great job implementing new safety protocols to make sure students and teachers are safe for in-person learning.

We have 4 little kids who have all started at QoA in the Bridge program. The program for the younger kids (Kindergarten and below) is incredibly flexible, 2, 3 or 5 days a week/Half day or Full day! The teachers are absolutely outstanding. We now have 2 in Bridge (program for two year olds) 1 in Pre-school & 1 in Pre-K.It can be nerve wracking when dropping your kids for the first time ever which is why I felt so lucky to have Mrs. Bullock as the Bridge teacher. She exudes warmth. She truly cares about the kids and it shows! Through the Bridge program all of our littles started talking so much more, showing more independence and confidence and I believe this to be directly related to the time spent in her care. She is simply incredible!Preschool is a difficult age with budding emotions, a struggle for independence and a strong will. Mrs. Carson ability to steer these threenagers impressed us daily. One of the many things I have always admired is the way she communicates with the children. She talks to them, not at them and in return they respect & adore her! This is our third year with Mrs. Carson and I could go on and on.Our oldest is now in Pre-k with Mrs. Kaufman and she’s everything I have come to expect- Warm, patient, caring and fun! Our daughter is so excited to go to school & as a parent that’s all you want.I have made so many friendships through the school and they all have similar sentiments about their teachers and the administration. Mrs. Brizgys is our new principal, and a new principal during Covid -not an easy task- and she has done a tremendous job.I really can’t say enough.

We moved our three children to Queen of Angels from a Montessori school 6 years ago, entering 5th Grade, 2nd Grade and Kindergarten. Academically the school is rigorous and our eldest was able to move from 8th Grade into their preferred high school. The school has an excellent science lab, computer lab (1:1 device ratio to kids), music program and even has a library with a dedicated librarian. Our kids are all avid readers in no small part due to the efforts of the fantastic librarian. This year the school has a new Principal who has not only filled the role of her predecessor but has also met the challenges of Covid with common-sense precautions and modifications so that the school has remained open throughout. I cant say enough good things about the prior Principal, her successor and the school staff since all are incredibly well organized and helpful. The excellent and highly motivated group of teachers through all grades have risen to the occasion this year so that academics have not been negatively affected. Pre-Covid the school also had a strong emphasis on extra-curricular actives like sports which we found to be very inclusive and an excellent way to reinforce the strong sense of community.

I didn’t feel very welcome when I attended. The community was very cold. They have great sports though.

Excellent Catholic School, my grandchildren study in St. Matias, but if for some reason they had to change schools, our first option would be Queen of Angels Catholic Elementary School. Our family attends Mass on Sundays at this Catholic Church.
