this school offers small class size and a good diversity of students. The teachers, are helpful but the curriculum is average and not very stimulating. There are not a lot of extra classes like a good drama class, creative writing, etc. So for a kid who has a likes to be creative, this would not be

a good choice. It has a feeling of safety there but also a feeling of strict enforcement of rules that seem to be done in a condescending manner. The principal is new to the school as is quite strict and is not at all fexible. The enforcement of the dress code borders on obsessive. Read less

The academics are basic instruction and the students are not encouraged to think outside of the box. There is a huge emphasis on dress code that borders on silliness. The principal, while very personable, is quite rigid. I find the most concerning aspect is that the kids don't seem to like it there

and don't generally speak in positive terms about the school. On the upside, the class sizes are small and the teachers are quite approachable and are always available to give extra help to a student. Read less

We chose this school because of its small class size and diversity. However, over the past year changed and become much more conservative with a very strict dress code and a somewhat rigid principal. The classes are still small but the curriculum is not very impressive nor are there enough electives

which inspire creativity. They do offer art, but they need other classes like speech, creative writing etc. There is room for parental involvement like hosting activities for the students and teachers but nothing really where parents can inspire change and express concerns. There is a very top down style of leadership at this school. Read less

Bishop Machebeuf is a school on the rise! There have been many new additions and the school community is one of Catholic faith, academic promise and gives attention on meting the needs of others through service efforts as well as students' individualized academic and social needs. I am proud to be

Machebeuf is a decent school at best. As a student, I want to make it clear that Machebeuf is hardly what it claims to be. For instance, they claim that 98% of their students go to college. Indeed, this is true, but it is a stretch. Far too many graduates end up attending Aurora Community College,

which is just down the street, or other community colleges. They claim to be a college prep school with rigorous academics and a lot of homework. Machebeuf claims to be a tight knit community. That's a laugh. Really, the only thing parents should like about Machebeuf is the discipline when it comes to dress code, and the prevalence of Catholicism. The students generally dislike this school. It seems the teachers dislike it as well. Extracurriculars are lacking at best. Read less

This school lacks organization and individual attention on it's students. The administration is more concerned with dress code violations and cell phones than student education. The counseling department is too small to accomodate all students. Only students with special needs get any attention whatsoever.

The teachers range from average to above average in teaching standards. It's evident many of them don't enjoy their jobs, and they make it seem like Machebeuf was a last resort. The administration puts on the illusion that the school has a close community and caring atmosphere which is quite the opposite. The school needs to be re-evaaluated and built up from it's original principles again. I've heard so many complaints and regrets for parents for sending their children here. It's a waste of money andtime. Read less
