I've sent 6 children to St. Paul School. They have all done very well academically, it is a great start for them and prepares them well for Schlarman High School. (And Schlarman prepares them well for college.) With anything is life, you get out of it what you put into it. If you want a good, solid education for your child, this is an excellent place to be, but remember that it is a two way street, your child must be there to learn. I would recommend this school to anyone of any religion, but those who are Catholic would appreciate the religious aspect. They attend Mass every Friday, and Fr Nelson is great with the kids. The teachers and staff are there to help you in any way they can, there is good individual attention, which you may not get in a larger school. I also love the uniform dress code.
The tuition is very resonable. Look at the schools in the larger cities. There is where there is a lot of money for tuition. As far as the Teachers and Principal, You can't find any more dedicated caring bunch of people in one place. There may be one or two ready for retirement, but the rest are stellar! The principal is there when the kids need her. She is there to personally take them to events in her own car on her own time. I call that dedication.
I feel St. Paul's School is a wonderful environment for children to learn and feel safe and cared for. The teachers care about all of the students and give there attention to those who struggle. Tutoring is available to all who need it at no additional cost to the child. There is pre-care and after care. Parent involvement is very high.
I would never send my children anywhere but St. Paul!! The teachers are dedicated and give individual attention. Everyone is a family and the outreach to new parents and students is wonderful! Parent participation is a must and the school is well served in volunteers- GO SPS !!
Uncaring, money oriented best describes this so called
I love this school!!! I went to St. Paul's and currently sending my three girls. The principal is the best there is. She is totally dedicated to our students and leads the staff wonderfully. This school is a family. I recommend it.
I would have to concur with the January assessment...St. Pauls administration is very unresponsive to student issues...or resolving them. This is a Catholic school which seems ashamed of being Catholic!
St. Paul Elementary of Danville, Illinois is a wonderful school. The staff is very well qualified and the current principal is truly dedicated to her students! In addition, the families that I have encountered at this school seem to place great value on their children and are very involved in school activities. This makes for a healthy educational atmosphere where children receive religious instruction and spiritual guidance.
St. Paul's is a very bad school. The teachers and principal should be removed and replaced so all of the children can receive a proper education. I can not wait to send my child to a new school. No child should go to this school.
