St. Walter is a good school. The one thing I don't like is the class size. There are too many students. I was not expecting such a large class in a privare school. Which in turns makes it a little more difficult for teachers to assist the students that might be struggling in certain areas.
Don't ever bring your child to this establishment. The s.taff are extremely rude and condescending, not to mention useless, especially the 8th grade teacher, Mary Pat.
I have been a parent of a student at St. Walter for over 11 years & would not imagine sending my children anywhere else. The whole education received at St. Walter can not be matched anywhere. The teaching staff from pre-k to eighth grade prepares the children to succeed in H.S. & in life.
GREAT SCHOOL! Challenging Academics, Strong Community Affiliation, Competitive Athletic Programs, Caring, Creative, Gited, and Skilled Teachers/Faculty, Warm, Safe and Enriching Environment, Intimate and Smaller Class Room Sizes, Daily Spiritual Guidance, Fianacially Secure Endowment Fund, Wonderful Varied Extra Curricular Activities and Programs For Students and Families, Diverse Student Body, Very Good Communication between Teachers, Parents and Guardians. St. Walter School Focuses On the Whole Child and Your Childs Journey Academically, Socially, Spiritually and Physically. St. Walter School is Truly a Diamond In The Rough!
St. Walter's School teaches the children not only high standeard educational curriculum, but it teaches the children morals and prepares them to be an example of goodness and in what ways to fight the dangerous elements within our society. It is a school that puts their children first and helps them achieve their highest potential, regarding every aspect of their special lives. Each child is an individual, not a statistic, but a unique and special human being with individual needs and gifts.
St. Walter is a top quality school with and excellent faculty. The small class size is a huge plus because the children receive more personalized attention and get to know one another better and develop close relationships. Every child is known by name. There's a family feel environment at St. Walter that is very welcoming and you immediately feel you belong here. We are very happy we chose St. Walter for our two children and we wouldn't have it any other way.
My son attends St. Walter and I really love the rich culture. The teachers are highly skilled and highly involved in the childrens lives.
School environment is great! Parents are involved and there are many events to keep families connected to the school. We have some concerns with teaching techniques and would like to see seasoned teachers engage in more updated modes of delivering education.
My children attend St. Walter school and this is a great school. The parents are very involved and the teachers are very pleasant. It is a family environment.
The teachers are highly skilled and work hard to bring out the best in each child. The principal is kind and knows each child by name. The school administration board is very efficient. It is a well integrated community and also very welcoming. I am so happy that my child is in that school.
