My son came from the local "highly regarded" public school that was overcrowded and living on its past accomplishments. We struggled with taking our son away from his friends. Had I known then what I know now, I never would have hesitated. St. Timothy's has been a dream for three years as he has been challenged academically, nurtured socially and athletically. The staff, teachers and prinicipal are absolutely TOP educators and truly care about the children. The academics are challenging and my son is very engaged. St. Tim's has a well developed athletics program with three seasons of sports. The spirit of the student body is great and the parents have all been great to us. The school dances are both well attended and well-chaperoned. The staff knows each child and social issues do not fall through the cracks. Discipline problems are not tolerated and those students are simply shown the door. I would not think twice about sending a child to this school. The students (generally) are very well spoken and by the time eighth grade rolls around I have remained amazed by their poise and social skills.

We love St. Timothy Middle School. It has been a wonderful 3 years for our child. SHe has been challenged academically, and learned great study skills. She spent elem school in a very highly regarded local public system, so we were coming from a great school STMS has good teachers and great values. Sports are strong, and drama is improving. The small size has helped to make the middle school experience warm and nurturing. I highly recomend ST. Tims!

Great after and before school activitys, Alway go above and beyond to help understand, Teachers work with the students who need alittle bit understanding of materials. Have well-watched Dances and other activitys. Students are never left out of any games, clubs, etc. I Love being a student at Saint Timothy.

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.
