St. Anastasia offers so much to my children! In addition to the actual classroom activities, there is also band, dance, drama, art, graphic design, choir, music appreciation, video production, Spanish... They have recently added a lot of technology to each classroom as well. The teachers really care and are enthusiastic! My kids love St. A's!

This is my daughter's first year in middle school at St. Anastasia and I was worried about all the rumors I had heard about the bullying. So far she has experienced nothing but warmth and acceptance from her fellow students and teachers. She is academically challenged, spiritually nourished and has adjusted surprisingly well to her new surroundings. Go RAMS!

Everything about this school is great! Not only do you have wonderful families, but you have dedicated teachers and administrators that truly care about the students. This school offers many great programs including resource classes for struggling learners. St. Anastasia is an excellent school.

Beware of this school. There are a lot of mean kids there. Parents are removing their children because of the bullying. The leadership just does not have the experience to handle the matter and they need the money, so kicking them out is not a solution. The lower grades are fine, but after the 5th grade it gets very rough and the environment is not good.

This is a horrible school. Many parents have complained about the excessive bullying to the principal to no avail. I am taking my kids out.

This is a very good school. It does focus on academics and discipline. There is a feeling of family, mostly because the school is small, but also because a lot of the teachers and staff have children enrolled in the school. The new principal is actually very good. Everyone had their doubts, myself included, but he is very smart, knowledgeable and caring. Sadly, he took over the helm during the worst economic crisis in the last 30 years and the school desperately needs funding. And, yes, there is way more catholic dogma than I would like and remember when I was a child.

The school is beginning to struggle. They are losing students left and right. They are not attracting new students. They have not grown since the new administration took over and they keep raising the price. There are schools in the area that provide a good christian education and offer a much better value.

This is a very Catholic School. Strong in Catholic dogma. Prepare your child for some strong opinions on sacraments and prayer. Overall, there are some very nice people involved. Good parent involvement.

My 2 young children have been there for 3 years and it is great! The work is strong and the atmosphere is family-like. Some rules (certain color hair-bow, no earrings) are absurd, but the overall experience makes up for it.

We has the priviledge to send our five children through St. A. I say it was a priviledge because they all received , not ontly, a great education but a christian education. Now that I have grandkids in the school I still feel proviledged. The school system is our county leaves alot to be desired and yet St. A is still the tops. My grandaughter is receiving the same great education that her mother received with the same christian values. We never worry about her safety and in our area that is a blessing. I can't say enough about the faculty and staff. They are not just teachers, they are family. The school is truly a blessing.
