St Philip The Apostle School

I went to this school from Preschool 3 to Grade 8. St. Philips did not prepare me for high school as they claim they do. Also, the teaching quality was not that great the art teacher also teaches PE and we were rushed with many of our school activities. Some of the teachers and staff were also bad and acted irresponsibly. For example, the former principal, Mr. Reisenbuechler was drunk at the 8th grade school dance. He has since been replaced. The teachers also do nothing about bullying. Bullying was definitely an issue here. The school constantly has people come in and talk about how to deal with bullying, yet the teachers or school administration never addressed the issue.

I remember my 1st grade experience with this school back in 2010 and let me just say awful, if I could give it 0 stars I gladly would! It's suppose to be a catholic school and I suffered racism and bullying and when I told the teacher at the time Ms.Driscoll on what was happening she did nothing to stop it. It's suppose to be a Catholic school where they teach about God, respect, equality and being nice to others. Than why did I suffer daily arm punches and foot stomps from two of my classmates? Why did the teacher not do anything to stop it? Those hypocritical bios you gave Ms.Driscoll on your website made me laugh, because they were complete lies! How can you live with yourselves, and all you can say is sorry for the treatment? Sorry doesn't fix my emotional trauma, sorry does not fix my bruised arms and feet that I had, sorry does not give me an answer why I was treated like that and why nobody helped to stop it.

Both our children have been enrolled at St Philip the Apostle School in Addison since Kindergarten. We are very pleased with the education they are receiving and would strongly recommend this Catholic Institution.

Excellent school,attention given to each student.
