"Good but Room for Improvement"

We are generally happy with Holy Spirit Catholic Academy, but there have been a few issues with communication from the school. The facilities are good, and the teachers are friendly, but we feel that the school could do more to engage with parents. Overall, it's a good school, but we hope they will improve in the future.
