Private School Reviews, anyone?
Looking for reviews for any of the following private schools...
St Bridget in Cheshire
Holy Trinity in Wallingford
Central Christian Academy in Southington
and
Immanuel Lutheran in Bristol.
My kids aren't in school yet and I told my gf I'd ask around as she's deciding to go the private route...so If you suggest another school in that general area I can let her know that too.

I've heard nothing but excellent things about NWC (North West Catholic). I have family in the Hartford area and they send their 3 kids there - they love NWC. If you'd like more info. I can ask them this weekend when they'll be coming to visit.

Thanks for the info...I suppose i should have been more specific.
These are K-8 schools.
So she's looking for something that covers elementary age.
I have also heard good things about NWC though...so when her kids are HS age i will surely reccomend.

Sorry
I don't know much about the schools you posted. I don't know if it's too far but I know Chase Collegiate in Waterbury (K-12) is excellent. It does get pricey once the kids are in grades 9-12 though.

Yeah Chase is too expensive for us.
With my husband's income they wont give us much aid at expensive private schools. But with all our expenses we really cant afford it.
Thats why i'm looking into cheaper private school options.
I'm really interested in the Wallingford one lately, I might go see it.
No reviews huh?

St Bridget and Central Christian Academy I've heard about and they have been positive. I don't have any info beyond that, other than central christian academy has a small student body (around 150).

A website you might want to try is Private School Review - Profiles of USA Private Schools, they have som good info about specific schools and you can also search. I don;t know anything specific about the schools you were looking at, but the website has some good facts, they were right on for the catholic high school I went to.
