my granddaughter moved from private school to ACStelle 7th grade. Loves it. Getting As and Bs...has many new friends...excellent environment for her
You won't find a middle school this beautiful, clean and organized every day. Most teachers are very good. Some kids are priveleged and spoiled, but I have never heard of bullying incidences. Kids and teachers in GATE/Accelerated programs care a lot about academics. Fun clubs and activities at school.
The best teachers are: Mr. Kane (really challenges students to think), Mr. Beutel (great science teacher), Mrs Asher (very kind), Ms. Andrews (outstanding English teacher), Mrs. Hepps (excellent English teacher), and Ms. Dickinson (fabulous history teacher). Wish the class sizes were not so large. Too much homework assigned by the math department.
Now that my son has graduated from Stelle I'd like to reflect on the 3 years there. In general the school is quite good - especially compared to other local middle schools. The campus is state of the art and lacks for nothing other than an auditorium IMO. The staff is excellent with top notch teachers. The culture could improve quite a bit though. My opinion is that the administration, especially the principal, are "in the box" thinkers, doing little to unify the student body, or increase global awareness. In a sense, the students here exist in a vacuum, with little knowledge of the world beyond their priveleged lives. This would be my only complaint.
More of a miniature college than a middle school, A.C. Stelle is a diamond in the rough. I pulled both my boys from private school when they transitioned to middle school to place them in Stelle. I have NOT been disappointed. Highlights include the Science and Math departments. I couldn't be happier.
What a fantastic school! One foot onto the campus and it becomes very clear that Stelle is not the ordinary public middle school. I have had 3 children pass through the gates of the school with my 3rd in 6th grade now. Hope that you get Asher and Beutel for teachers. They are the best of the best.
The P.E. program at this school is ok in my opinion and a few other bad things, but other than that this school rocks!
A.C, Stelle is an amazing school with fantastic teachers and a great support staff. They do everything they can to prepare our pre and young teens for high school and the world beyond.
This is is so incredible from the very clean campus and classrooms to the outstanding Staff that are there for my Son. My Son is doing very well and I owe it a lot to the Teachers and the Administration. It is clear to me that AC Stelle is making sure the Children's Education is #1 on the list.
My kids get best education from top notch teachers!
