St. Mark Catholic School

We have two St Mark grads and one current student. They are not perfect but overall the school has been awesome for our family. It is a great community and we have made some great friends here. The school academics prepared my kids well for the rigors and structure of high school. We also appreciate the emphasis on service and living Christian values. Be Golden!

Excellent school - proven by many awards and accolades. We are very lucky to have found St. Mark Catholic School in Plano. This school is truly a gem out of the private schools in North Texas. It’s definitely the best private school in Plano and Collin County!nnMy neighbors and I do not mind driving our children from the west side of Plano to be a part of this great community. The school has very affectionate environment for the kids with a community which is kind and supportive. Very engaging class activities, detailed paper work, new experiments and loads of educational and fun activities for the kids.nCurrently attending 1st grade, my son has been at St. Mark’s for two years now. My child has received an excellent education. He reads chapter books and does math problems that are well advanced for his age! He has even attended a math Olympiad hosted by the University of Texas at Dallas and will be participating in the Creative Writing competition of local catholic schools later this year. He has truly flourished since being at St. Mark Catholic School. He also says that he doesn't want to leave until high school! And, we are right there with him. The school offers free enrichment classes and their STEM classes are “awesome”-my son cherishes those activities.nnIn addition, teachers connect very well with the parents updating on child’s progress. When children need it, the teachers and administration go the extra mile for your child to learn. The school goes out of its way to involve parents as well as grandparents. The teachers, its principal, Mrs. Opon, and assistant principal, Mrs. Steinkirchner, are available anytime to discuss issues concerning your child. The community is welcoming and supportive. The classrooms are fully resourced and well organized. Cannot recommend enough.nnAs a parent, I feel safe and proud to leave my son and soon my daughter at St. Mark Catholic. For being so wonderful, they are very reasonably priced compared to other private schools. You should at least visit this school once before you consider anything else.

The teachers dont care they murmur among themselves they get angry at you for mistakes and the principals are like FBI interrogators just dont apply and save yourself like 20,000 dollars.

Sending our 3 children to St. Mark Catholic School has been one of the best decisions as parents we have made. Small class sizes, caring teachers, a rigorous curriculum, all in a faith-filled and loving environment.

We started St Mark 5yrs ago when we moved to Texas from Connecticut.nMy daughter started in the second term of PK3 and my son in the second term of K.nThey are in 3rd and 5th grade respectively now.nnWe re evaluate our children’s schools every year to determine whether to go back to public school and every time we have decided to stay.nnThe children love it here and make new friends every year even in the cases where there are new students coming in. It is wonderful how the whole school does service projects every month to help our community and the children understand and know what it means to help others.nnMy husband and I are grateful for the principal Mrs Opon, who sets a great example of inclusiveness and openness that the teachers and ultimately the school community follows.nnWe always have access to the teachers when we need to have discussions about our child and we also get solutions to any issue that needs to be addressed. It really feels like home and school are working together for each and every child. There is technology as well as simple pen and paper to instruct the children.nnThe curriculum is challenging and the children are also rooted in their faith. What a win/win!nnI’m proud to be a St Mark parent. I wish it went all the way to twelfth grade.nnThank you St MarknAdeola
