St.Paul School is a wonderful school that teaches our children values they can take with them for a life time. All of the students know each other and work together on a daily basis. I can't say enough about the faculty, they are above and beyond what I've ever experienced in other schools. To sum it up St. Paul is an awesome school all around.

This school has done wonders for our son, a first-grader. In terms of academic and social development, the St. Paul experience has been so much better for him than his kindergarten year in public school. The teachers are wonderful. The curriculum is challenging. The low teacher to student ratio is a real benefit. The atmosphere is welcoming and warm for students as well as parents. This is the best decision we could have made for our child's education.

We are family! My children have been going to St. Paul since they were 3 yrs old, my oldest is now in 7th grade. We have been so very pleased with our school and what it has done for our kids. First and foremost my children have a wonderful foundation in their faith, second the education they have recieved has gotten them ready for what lies ahead HIGH SCHOOL! St. Paul has many activities for the kids to join from sports to photograghy classes. The staff I can't even thank enough. They truly care about their students and they know each child very well, they watch out for them. We have a great PTL that keeps you as the parent involved in school activities. Come visit us and see for yourself what a great school we have!

St. Paul has certainly been a blessing for our children and our family. The staff is warm and caring. They treat each child in a special way. The children interact with each other (upper grades w/lower grades)on a daily basis thru Chapel Families or Reading Rangers. This year we started Walking Reading and Walking Math programs. This places children in the level of reading/math that is beneficial for their learning/developing. They have adapted very well and love learning. The families are involved with their children whether thru sports programs, Community Projects (Crusaders in Action) or Family Reading night programs. Our daugher graduates this year and we KNOW that we made the right choice in St. Paul. Our son will be there another few year and we certainly look forward to being a part of the St. Paul family. This is a great school thanks to the staff, parents and students.

St. Paul has been a Godsend for my daughter! She left a former private school after attending 8 years. I wish that I had chosen St. Paul initially. The principal is second to none. The staff, teachers and parents are very warm with the children and parents. The PTA is excellent with creating activities for the students, teachers and parents to participate in. The principal and teachers are very receptive to parent's concerns. My daughter's 7th grade teacher is excellent with giving feedback and addressing issues. I have never attended or been in a school environment as loving and concerned as St. Paul. My daughter is receiving an ideal education (religion, academics, community services, etc.) I am more than pleased with the care, compassion, professionalism, staff and student development at St. Paul.

St. Paul is an excellend experience for our family. I have two daughters who attend the school. We are also members of the church. One of my children is in 4th grade and the other in Kindergarten. They are both receiving excellent education and actually look forward to school and take pride in the many assigned projects/assignments given to them. They also enjoy the many extra-curricular activities. I have open communication with the teachers, principal and pastors. In addition to the great academics received at St. Paul, it is a wonderful Christian atmosphere as well! I highly recommend the school.

St.Paul is an academically challenging school. Their reading and math program places the children at a level that individually and personally suits them. The extracirricular activities are plentiful, however grades come first. The teaching staff and principal, along with the secretary and pastors, are awsome and always avaliable for the kids as well as the parents. Every one who attends the school is treated as one big family. It's one of the only schools I've ever seen, where the older and younger kids socialize with each other. When I went to school if you were in 7th or 8th grade you wouldn't give a 4th grader the time of day. St. Paul is a small school, with a big message, my kids are very lucky to attend school there, and if you asked them, I'm sure they would agree.

The people there are nice. It has good extracurricular opportunities and gives you a good education. Really the only problem is that they are sometimes short on money. But most of the time it is happy and we all feel like one big family.

St Paul is an excellent school. Most of the teachers have their Master's. My youngest went from being shy with little self confidence, to a social lite and excited about learning. Her K teacher involves them in classic art, music and even takes them to the kitchen once a month to make special treats like cookies, pizza, etc. They involve all kids in school musicals and learning fairs. They also involve the older classes with the younger classes IE, having 4th graders read to pre K class. The older kids are taught to be a role model to the younger kids.
