My child came from public school after 2nd grade. The small class size and individual attention have made learning so much fun for her. She often exclaims "I get it, mom. I get it". I used to feel I was home schooling everyday when she was doing homework. No longer. Indeed a great school.

The small class size has really helped my 5th grader gain confidence. The curriculum is challenging but they do not send an overwhelming amount of homework home which leaves more family time. Overall, I would highly recommend St. Michael's

As a former teacher and current parent of a 3rd grader and Pre-K, I can honestly say there are few schools like St. Michael's that emphasize academic excellence and sincere faith of their students. The "back to basics" approach in the elementary and middle schools eliminates all the fluff and swinging pendulum that tends to bog down other schools. To say that the teachers are dedicated to the development of each student is like saying that Chateaubriand is a good cut of meat. They are, and SO MUCH MORE.

as a student of st. michaels for alot of my life it was a big difference going to a school thats atleast 5 times bigger and when i changed to a public school saint michaels really helped me by being prepared for my classes and it made me ahead of the class in most of my class from the excellent teachers at st. michaels an i really thank them all and thats why i rate the 5 stars!

My grandson is in kindergarten at St. Michael's. His teacher is excellent and caring. The class size is small so each child gets the help and attention he or she needs to succeed. Also kindergarten is a full day program. He is registered for first grade for the next school year. St. Michael's is the best school for his academic success.

My children have benefitted greatly from St. Michael's Academy. The curriculum and teachers are excellent, and the class sizes are small. The best part is that the administration has purposely made the tuition affordable so parents have an alternative to public schools.

My kids have been attending St. Michael's since kindergarten. The oldest is now in eighth grade. There is no other school like it. The family atmosphere, the academics, and the small student/teacher ratio cause St. Michael's to stand out from the rest.

Thid school is one of the best schools I have ever been to. My teachers were awsome and it helped me learn very easily. The sports they have are not very much but they are just getting started. The second year of basketball they were league champons! I will always love the school.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
