Divine Infant Jesus School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2009-05-01 “Divine Infant is a great school if your child is average to above average and has no disabilities. The slightest disability a student may have, this school is not staffed or anatomically set up to handle. Do NOT believe what they say, they can NOT handle it! Three things you should know when your son or daughter graduates: You will need to hire someone privately to teach math, Spanish, and how to play an instrument (e.g. scales). Students coming from the public high schools will be running rings around your graduate in these areas.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2009-01-19 “DI family that's where we belong to...my kids 4th and 5th grader goes there and next schoolyear my preschooler as well. I just wish we can improve the process on how we drop off our kids...parents are obliged to drop them off in the street because the main parking lot is being used for kids to line up before the bell rings and this is not good especially during winter. But overall we are happy being part of DI family.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-10-08 “My daughter is in D.I and the school is wonderful. I plan on sending my son also next year. The staff really works with parents on issues and contribute greatly to each child. I am from out of the area but I work close to this school that is why my child attends DI. I sent my oldest daughter also 10 years ago and came back agian 10 years later!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-04-09 “Having had our children at both Divine Infant and Westchester Public School, Divine Infant is the way to go. Both schools are good academically, but there is no family environment at WPS. You and your children are just numbers to them. Divine Infant encourages parents and families to be involved with in-school activities and many after school events. It is a very welcoming school and everyone knows everyone there. The teachers, principal and pastor make great effort to know you as a family, children and parents. Your child gets way more then the three RRRs at D I. The computer program totally outshines what is offered at WPS, the band is great, hot lunch is good (fast food at WPS), and Catholic values are practiced on daily basis. Divine Infant does have a small gym and no elevator, but fancy buildings don't give your children a solid education, people do.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2007-12-19 “Divine Infant is a good school if your child is an A - B student. In other words, if your child is above average from the get-go, he or she will flourish at Divine Infant. Howeer, if your child needs extra help in some subjects, the faculty is little or no help. They always wait for the child to ask for extra help and rarely proactively offer it. So the child needs to know they don't know it to get that extra help. It really is just not a good school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2006-04-23 “If you are looking for a great place in Westchester to educate your children, take a look at Divine Infant... and then move on to the Westchester Public Schools. Divine Infant may have once been an outstanding school but that was 20 or 30 years ago. Yes, there are still some fine teachers at Divine Infant but the school lacks good leadership from both the pastor and the principal. In addition, the facilities are hopelessly outdated and parish leadership has failed in campaigns to update the facilities by building a new gymnasium or even adding ways for the disabled to access Langan Hall. The school is sorely lacking in comparison to the Westchester Public Schools in having extracurriculur activities available for students and extra assistance for those children who need it. Tour Divine Infant. Then tour the Westchester Public Schools. You can't help but notice the difference.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-03-07 “great all around program, emphasis on academics and excelling. A myriad of extracurricular activities including music,track and volleyball. A tight community so parent involvment is high.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-02-25 “The teachers & administration really strive to communicate & work with parents for the benefit of the kids. For instance, the kindergarten teacher noticed our son was having some fine motor skills trouble. Not enough to indicate therapy or a learning/behavioral disability, but more problems than most kids his age in learning to write. She called a staffing meeting including herself & us, his teacher from the two previous years of Pre-School/Pre-K, the principal, & two Occupational Therapists from the local school system. All these people gathered to discuss our son's strengths & weaknesses to give her ideas of methods she could use in class to help him improve his fine motor skills. We were impressed & grateful. DI also has started a school-wide anti-bullying program taught in conjunction with religion classes. This is a proactive way for the teachers & administration to show that unacceptable behavior won't be tolerated.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-11-17 “My two children who graduated from Divine Infant have moved on to outstanding universities. I attribute part of their success to the work ethic that they learned at a very young age from Divine Infant. My oldest daughter has already vowed to send her children to D.I. when that time comes. I would never send my child anywhere other than Divine Infant.”
