Not a very good place. My son has anxiety problems and when I first visited the school I explained to them and they assured me it was not a problem. After enrollign him I asked his teacher every single day how he was doing and she said he was fine but only needed some time to adjust and get used to their routine. After paying over $1000 in fees, fingerprints, donations and everything they asked for, and just two had passed, I was asked to meet with the teacher. When I got there it was actually a meeting with director, teacher, counselor, and assistant, to inform me that he had been doing really bad, that he would be very anxious and hide under the desk and could not tolerate the noise in the classroom. That he was not a "good fit" for their school and he would have to withdraw. I was very frustrated and upset, not only for the amount of money and time I wasted, but mostly because no one mentioned how bad he was feeling there at any point before, I left the office in tears because it seemed such an ungodly thing to do to see a child suffering without doing anything . They did not care. Do not waste your money at this school, they care more about making money than helping your child.

All three of my children attended Divine Mercy School from kindergarten through 8th grade and received an excellent education! Once graduated from DMCS my children went on to high school and college with all of the tools necessary to be successful in their lives, academically, spiritually and... socially. DMCS offers a wonderful learning atmosphere with teachers who are loving and kind. It is a smaller environment so there is a one-on-one learning benefit in every class. DMCS not only taught my children their educational needs, but they also taught them how to be good, honest, Christian people.

The entire school has been updated and the classrooms are in top shape. There has never been any harmful asbestos in the school, as DMCS goes though rigourous state inspection every year to insure the property is safe for all the children. They have a beautiful outdoor pavillion with full basketball court as well as a large soccer field and gated playground. My children played all the sports that DMCS offers including basketball, flag football, soccer, track & field, and volleyball.

The Principal, Ron Gagnon, is excellent and knows every child by name. He has given many years of dedicated service to DMCS and the success and happiness of the school children is his number one concern. When my children attended DMCS, Ron Gagnon was very involved with the daily operations of the school and he had a great relationship with the teachers, children and parents. Because DMCS is a private school, parental involvement is well received and accepted on a on-going basis.

Basically, I would not have sent my children to any other school. DMCS was and will always be the best decision my husband and I ever made for our children in their academic and spiritual success.

The recent name change will not change the facts: run down school building, ignorant principal and rude teachers. You pay an arm and a leg here to be treated like trash.
