St. Timothy's Preparatory School

St. Timothy's Preparatory is a strong academic school that fills each student with christian values that prepare the student for a successful life. Many students have graduated from this school and are now attending colleges. Both my children have attended this school and both of them have had a positive learning experience at St. Timothy's.

St. Tim's is a great school. The class sizes are small, the staff is great, and parents are all very friendly. It has been a positive experience for my family.

St.Tim's Prep is a great school with 5 star leadership and teachers class size at about 10 to12 St. Tim's produce a first class student that does well in H.S. and into college

My family has been with St Timothy's Prep since 1998. My daughter graduated in 2005. The experience was great. The work can be challenging & there is alot of parent involvement. Not sure where the previous parent got her student average from but there has never been more than 15 students in a class since we have been with the school. I think that is why this school is so succesful. The staff is very supportive & the Principal has done amazings things for the school. They do not have a music program but chapel every morning is a great way to start the day. These children learn love, respect and character. They acquire a very strong foundation that is needed to become successful and guides them in the right direction to higher education. So happy with the school, I enrolled my other two children. Phenomenal school!

After working in the public school setting and then having the pleasure of working at St. Timothy's Prep, I would NEVER go back to public schools. Our school has a low student to teacher ratio. Currently I have 12 children in my class. On average I have had 12 each year. I am not sure where a previous parent who posted on this board got their information, but our largest class is at 15 students. Compared to public school that is half of their class size. I currently have a preschooler and a 1st grade student who attend St. Timothy's. I have had nothing but the absolute best care for both of my children. I continue to work at this school because I believe in our mission and I want my own children to receive the best education I can give them.

I rate St. Timothy's 'Quality LOW' and by the way... CLASS SIZE is UP to (20) now. We have sent our kids to St. Timothy's for about 4 years and it just keeps disappointing us. We CAN afford it, money is not the issue. We wanted the quality experience and education a 'private' school offers but for the $5800.00 a child we are now required to pay we are still not getting our monies worth. On top of that, in the cold months the kids STILL have no place to eat indoors. On the hot scorching days the kids STILL have very little shade on campus & must eat outside in the scorching heat. No grass. All sports are played in the dirt. The kids look impressing when they memorize 25 BIG spelling words on their test every Friday, but can't spell the simple words when writing a paragraph. Not good

I attended St. Timothy's school for almost my whole schooling career (except 5th grade. Sorry Mrs. Carlile) The small class sizes are awesome and promote a better teacher to Student relationship in which its like almost learning and discussing t the same time (well in middle school it is) We get into heated debates and learn while doing this) The teachers are amazing and really go up and beyond what is told of them. I see it as a small extended family i can visit and meet with. Of course they still have their annual events with the added Dinner and a play. (i am so going to that) I can express how great it was to attend a school like St. Tim's from Pre-k Skip 5th and go on to graduate in the year of 07'.

St. Timothy's is a true gem. This school has an excellent elementary as well as pre-school program. The middle school program (grades 6-8) prepares its students for high school and beyond. Critical thinking and analytical thinking are underscored here. The school is safe and the children are well cared for. Teachers are motivated and give their all. I have had my son at this school since third grade, he is now in the seventh. I searched around quite a bit before choosing St. Timothy's. I have no regrets, this school cannot be beat.

St. Timothy's is an excellent school. The teachers are dedicated, creative, and aspire to a high standard. Children are taught how to write and critical thinking skills, as well as ethics and morality. The small class size creates a wonderful learning environment.
