My experience at Villa Maria Academy has been mostly great. I have gotten to experience going to an all girls school in which I have been able to be more confident and heard in the classroom. The size of my classes are usually small, therefore I get more time speaking with my teachers. Unfortunately, one thing I wish that I could change about Villa Maria Academy is the lack of open minds to diversity. It has been a real struggle in which multiple people of color have come forward with. I am saying this as a white female, it needs to change. Everyone in the world deserves equal opportunity to be educated.
I absolutely love VMA! It is my home away from home. The academics are amazing, the teachers are so nice and helpful, the students are so friendly, the extracurricular activities are better than I could have ever imagined. They have sports, dance, theater, clubs, and many many more. I highly recommend going to Villa.
VMA-Erie is an excellent college preparatory high school. If you are able to take honor and AP classes, then you will definitely be well-prepared for the academic rigors of any college. The teachers really care about the students and want to see you succeed. There are plenty of clubs and activities to get involved with. And all of the sports teams are very good. However, the recent administration changes (starting around 2017) really changed the entire vibe of the school. A lot of favorite teachers were pushed out and student voices were being hushed or left unheard. Also, people of color make up less than 10% of the student population and they oftentimes feel left out even though they're trying hard to fit in/find their niche. The school really needs to address the subtle racism and the "mean girl" mentality of the "IN crowd" that is sometimes on full display in their social media accounts.
