I have two daughters currently there and could not plan better. One class per grade, two bathrooms per classroom, around 19 students for 2 teachers. Staff and parents are nice. I'm very happy with it and hopefully will keep both kids there all the way to 8th.

This school is awesome. It is affordable for a private school and has all the electives that are being cut in the public school system. The kids from preschool to 8th grade receive Spanish lessons. They receive art, music, and computer literacy classes. This school also has it own science lab. The kinder student end the year at about a 2nd grade reading level, writing sentences and ready for writing simple paragraphs. The 7th and 8th grades receive algebra classes from the Principal Mr. Wilson. It also has affordable extended care in the morning and afternoon. With enrichment classes after school for the younger set such as martial arts, drawing, piano, and dance. The teachers are well educated most with their Masters degrees.

I have a son who started at St. Cyprian this school year, with my other son registered to attend this Fall. The teachers are all wonderful and always looking out for the students' best interests. I am continually amazed at the spirit of camaraderie at this school. All the students know each other and the staff knows them by name. They even know the parents. I have found the school to to have a warm, welcoming, and nurturing feel. It's rare that you can find a school that's as well run as St. Cyprian. It may be a small school but it is big in faith, heart, spirit and academic achievement. Although it costs more to send my children to a private school I believe they are in an ideal learning environment.

The first day of school, the principal was welcoming all the kids back. She knew the name of every kid who walked by and they were all happy to see her. She even knew the names of the just-starting kindergartners. Since being there, I am impressed with how well my son is doing. In 2 months of grade K, he is already reading beyond my expectations. He loves going to school and is sad on the weekends when he can't. Kids are well-behaved on the playground. Besides reading, there are art, music, PE, and computer classes. There is a real sense of community and it is a nice thing. I think the academics are solid. I have a friend who had an 8th grader here. She was as impressed with the higher grades as I am with kindergarten.

My daughter has been at St Cyprian since kinder and we have continued to keep her there because we feel the school always concerned with her education and safety. Teachers are proficient in their teaching. School is strict in dress and behavior of children. The principal and support staff is always helpful and understanding with situations pertaining to school and home life. Always willing to help and extend a hand. I would highly recommend this school if money is not an issue. School also offers many extracurricular activities.

I love this school! My son started coming to Saint Cyprian since Kindergarten, and its been great! What's great? Let me itemize. 1. The staff take the time to know you,(in my case, before I knew them) & your child. 2. There are no bullies at this school! They team up the 6th & 5th graders with the younger kids, sort a big brother or sister to the little ones. 3. I appreciate how the teacher keeps an eye on every child, making sure they grasp the subject before moving on. 4. Large enough to serve all your child needs but small enough to know each and every one them. 5. Kids here aren't materialistic. Sadly, nowadays its a common misconception that what you have makes you socially acceptable. I don't see that here. Saint Cyprian is: Faith,Integrity,Promises fulfilled, Humility achieved, Potential reached and above all, Dependence in God.

Small school but full of community spirit. The teacher:student ratio is good, and the teachers are nice and approachable. My daughter love it there.

Community ratings and reviews do not represent the views of GreatSchools nor does GreatSchools check their accuracy or verify the reviewers' identities. Use your discretion when evaluating these reviews.

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.

Oops! We currently do not have any student information for this school. We rely on the state Department of Education, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), and in some cases school administrators such as registrars and principals for this data.
