Rating 4.1 out of 5 58 reviews
From the moment I walked through the campus , I was impressed with the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff and teachers were friendly and approachable, and the students seemed happy and engaged in their learning.
The facilities are top-notch. The classrooms are spacious, clean, and equipped with the latest technology to enhance the learning experience. The school also has a well-stocked library, science and computer labs, a gymnasium, and outdoor sports fields. One of the things I appreciate most about SMES is their commitment to student well-being. The school offers a range of programs and services to support the mental health and emotional well-being of its students, including counseling services, and extracurricular activities that promote physical activity and social connection.

Excellent but a little bit expensive.
My daughter loves this school so much that she helps some of her friends into this school. If you want to get into you must have a high score of ISEE and also some excellent activities.
I love this school because of it's campus, it is so beautiful that we all love it at the first sight.
Guided by our Episcopal identity, our students are recognized as much for their honor, responsibility and principled behavior as they are for their academic, artistic and athletic achievement. Our vigorous, college-preparatory curriculum offers a thoughtful balance and breadth of challenging experiences for every student. St. Margaret’s is not just an education; it is a vibrant community that becomes part of your family, your lives and who you are. Being a member of the St. Margaret’s community offers a unique opportunity to be part of something bigger than ourselves.

I'm SO grateful for my St.Margaret's class-of-2021 experience! The school cares deeply for their student body, including POC requiring financial aid like me.
Cons: Freshman year was jarring, lonely, and strange. Why? As a former public-school student, the unfamiliar social dynamics can be isolating. But once you "break in" like you do with a new pair of socks, you'll feel right at home. By senior year, everyone's tight and snug!
If you're new, be on the lookout for "gems:" amazing classmates who are sincere, understanding, and friendly. The staff however, are ALL gems: Mr.Moseley, Dr.Graham, Ms.Bunch, Mario the custodian-- the list goes on!
Also, don't kill yourself with the workload. The classes here are REALLY hard. Excessive amounts of pressure from parents or students themselves can lead to anxiety, depression, or suicidal tendencies. I went through this, but when I reached out, I received help from the AMAZING support system here. And don't forget the best one: prayer to God!
