Mater Dei High School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2010-05-01 “The school is wonderful. The teachers are caring and concerned for every student. They have put in place many programs for accelerated college studies. College placements are very strong.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2010-02-27 “Not at all worth the money. My child is an excellent student and doing well but office staff is rude. Tuition 'officer' has huge chip on her shoulder, makes people feel like deadbeats instead of realizing we are in a tough economy. They seem to take anyone who can make donations, regardless of behavior or academic capability. I hear of students leaving the building of their own will without permission, so lack of discipline is another problem. Save your money for a nice vaction.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2009-11-04 “Both my children graduated from Mater Dei with honors. Great teachers, great school.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2009-10-17 “MD is an excellent alternative to a public high school. its deffinatley the 'door holding' and 'conversation with anyone' type of crowd. teachers really look after you like one of their own. it can be a little tricky if you dont find a group of friends right away, but thats true of any school. the athletic programs are inclusive and wants everyone to participate no matter what. theres so much respect among the student body, and although theres very little diversity, we are all very different. i would highly reccomend this school to anyone.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2009-03-15 “i love mater dei. I honestly believe that mater dei is the reason that I have been accepted into many top colleges and recieved a lot of money to them. Mater Dei is a great school, but you have to be prepared to work hard.” Posted By: student Quality Score: decline 2009-01-08 “I LOVE Mater Dei! The teachers are great- really seem to care about us as individuals. Glad I chose it.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-11-23 “I love the school, the teachers are the best, I am learning everything that I will need in the future. I recommend this school to anyone. You have to work hard. Anyone giving a bad review simply can't handle the school rules and work. They should go to public school where no one cares what you do for the most part.” Posted By: student Quality Score: decline 2008-10-21 “I hate this school so much. As bad of a reputation as it had it is even worse than you think. The school is no fun. But the good things are mr. Miltner mr. Matassa and ms. Lattimer other than that and big all rabuffo this school is absolutly horrible” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-07-07 “I am going into my third year at Mater Dei, and as much as some people like to complain about it, I believe that in Mater Dei you reap what you sew. I put a lot of effort into my studies and I am recieving a good education. I know other kids that don't try at all in school and they will not be prepared for college. A lot of people choose to blame the school and administration for their child's unsatisfactory progress; but is it really the school's fault if a child is unwilling to learn? Mater Dei is trying to prepare students for their adult lives and when you are an adult, you will not be spoon-fed. I know that I am no smarter than the next guy, I am only more dedicated and that is why I am succeeding.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2008-01-25 “This school's enrollment has been steadily dropping over the past four years. It's the same favoritism, 'old-boy' network going on, based on how much money has been given to the church. The 'laptop' learning technology they advertise still does not work. It's very expensive, with a small return on investment.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2007-06-09 “I am currently a sophomore at Mater Dei High School. I went to a public grammar school and I am very happy that I chose to go to Mater Dei for High School.The students are all very nice and you get a chance to know all of them because of the small size. Parents are very involved in volunteering and PTA. We have several interesting school events that benefit our school and the community. These included the fashion show, In Bloom Fashion Show (all clothes in the In Bloom show were designed by students), the walk-a-thon, and the polar plunge. Since I did not know anyone going into the school I decided to join the field hockey team. I had never played field hockey before but everyone helped me out. I became pretty good at field hockey and I made many good friends. I would recommend MDHS to anybody.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 2 2007-01-20 “There are very few academic programs, aside from some very basic courses. The quality of the students is disappointing to say the least. Not the best environment or learning atmosphere. The school focuses largely on sports programs, but has very few extracurricular activities. School has very poor policy regarding student discipline, thus there is a constant sense of anarchy and pandemonium.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2007-01-20 “Mater Dei is an expensive school, not at all worth the cost. The teaching staff is lacking in some cases. The students themselves are not a very nice crowd. They aren't nice to one another, are disrespectful to teachers, and teachers have minimal control of what is going on. If you are considering this school because it is a Catholic school, be forewarned: it is not a 'Catholic' environment. Your money is better spent elsewhere.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-11-21 “Our daughter is a junior at MDHS and is getting an excellent education. She transferred from a public high school and we feel she NOW is getting the academic preparation needed for college. The teachers care about the students and take the time to get to know them. We are very happy with our decision to send her to MDHS and NOT public high school.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 4 2006-11-04 “I'm currently a senior at Mater Dei High School. It has given me amazing opportunities to excel in the arts outside of the classroom. Unfortunately, the administration of MD is clueless about how to appeal to alumni and prospective students. The school also puts far too much emphasis on football, when a 400-person school can't really compete with larger schools. Our Track team won the state championship last year, but the team is still underappreciated. I'm currently tryinig to change some of this, but there's only so much you can do. Despite my complaints, MD has a real family oriented type of feel. Certain classes here have changed the person who I am. (especially those taught by Mrs. Grzybowski)” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2006-02-09 “My son is currently in his second year at Mater Dei. Mater Dei is a well rounded school. The teacher/student ratio is an advantage. Meter Dei is a very nice school. My son is doing extremely well thanks to caring teacher and counselors.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2004-11-15 “As a senior here at Mater Dei, I would like to reccomend this fine school to anyone and everyone. Mater Dei is a family of faith, friends and fun. All the teachers are excellent, and willing to help. Athletics are turning for the better once again. There are plenty of clubs and activities...Good school...good staff..” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2004-06-05 “This is a good school that needs some change in administration , in particular the athletic director. The principal is a good man , however he seems to be lost with how to maintain success with the decline in athletic programs since he arrived. He has increased the number of sports but has lost the level of success existing sports once enjoyed. Thsi has hurt the schools image in the eyes of many parents and is not offset by token PR attempts. Thsi will be what hurts the school down the road. The principal also seems to care little about school tradition and has alienated the alumni despite his token appearances at alumni functions. The schools attempt tp bring grade school students in to take classes at Mater Dei is a flawed concept since most students who attend don't plan to reurn for their high school years.”
