Research St. Ursula School private Schools in Baltimore, Maryland

“My daughter goes to this school from k-2. I was very disappointed with their math education. This is a private school and you would expect teachers will pay more attention to students. If you think like I did, you would be disappointed too. Not only math is behind other schools, I have to spend lots of time to practice with my daughter. The classroom is so crowded (25 students) and the teachers don't have time to help everyone. I also notice that homeworks are not reviewed/corrected all the times. The school is too small, it does not have a playground or any sport fields. The only outdoor place is the parking lot. The location of school makes the morning drop-off such a nightmare. There's no functioning traffic lights except in the morning, so leaving school in the afternoon is very dangerous.”

“It is a great school. Math is a little behind the public schools, but because of the organizational skills and the discipline to do well, the kids catch on quick in high school. My daughter is getting ready for college. Hopefully she will do well with her 2060 on her SAT, 1360 in the two primary scores. Thanks Sister Joan and all the great teachers.”

“This school did not meet our expectations. Our child attended 6-8th grade only. My son received a superior education in literature, science, and history. Other fields were adequate. Math instruction was poor. Over the course of the three years, the children were assigned a huge amount of homework. Ordinarily, this wouldn't be a problem but many times the work was 'busy work' with little value. In addition, around the time of Catholic Schools Week, my son was assigned multiple long term projects in different subjects so the teachers could showcase the school. Again, little was learned, except how to rush through with minimal effort. After school activities were good. Parental involvement high. Great scout troop associated with church/school.”

“I attended St. Ursula and it is true that your education in the early years of your life is what creates life-long intelligence and character. Sr. Joan has excellent discretion and bases all of her judgements around the long-term benefit of the students -- technology, art, education and diversity. I attended one of the premiere private high schools in Baltimore County and it did not hold a candle to the wealth of confidence, attention and dedication that St. Ursula gives all of its students.”

“Excellent school. Perfect balance between academics and life-lessons. Caring environment. Many activities. Well-educated and professional staff. Couldn't be happier. My kids love it.”

“It is not an easy school, but the kids get a good education and they love the school. Sr Joan knows all the kids by name and runs a tight ship. Bravo to her and her wonderful staff of teachers and helpers. Parents can't help but to get involved. A great Christian environment.”
