New Beginnings has the most wonderful and loving staff. My chilld has grown so much since attending the school. There are many programs that other school do not offer for free. It is very clean and safe learning environment for all children. This school does not compare to any other school in the area including their rates. I would definitley recommend this school to anyone with young children.

I love Mechanicstown! The teachers are wonderful. They support my child and are always there for me when I have a concern. My son loves school and comes home happy every day. We cannot wait for the new school year to start!

I am a parent. My son attended this school during the 2004-2005 school year. I found the staff to be professional and helpful. The quality of education was satisfactory. My son is not a very motivated learner. The teachers encouraged him and contacted me when appropriate. They offered positive reinforcement and encouragement when he needed it. School is relatively secure. A greeter at the building's entrance and all other doors locked so visitors will only use the main entrance. I was satified with the overall education and care my son received.

The school is wonderful, the problem is the children and what their parents teach them at home. I have 2 daughters who attend school. One aready graduated with no problems, and the other is still in school maintaining honor roll all year... great school, better than pine bush, which is all lies about how wonderful they are there. Go Middletown, we are and will always be the best! A mom who has spirit for her home school.

I think the school is too small for the amount of students. I find they don't allow much parent involvement.they could really use improvement.I also think with improvement they could be a great school. after school activities would be great!

Overall this school is excellent as far as safety, teachers, staff, communication, academics-technology for the students. Excellent school. We moved to Middletown 2 years ago, decided after the first year of school we will move back to Rockland County due to our daily commute(work) however due to such an excellent school overall we decided not to. Every school should be like this school. We would not want our son attending any other school but this one.

I have 2 children in the school and I am very happy here. The school provides a safe, nurturing environment in which to learn. The principal and teachers know each child by name. There is a real sense of community and family involvement here. I encourage anyone considering the school to visit the campus.

The Faculty and Staff of St. Joseph's are a warm welcoming group of people. All of my children love going to school there. They have so many programs for our children. The music program is top notch which you don't find too often in a catholic school
