All my children graduated from St. Cyprian. They went on to challenging high schools and are high honors students now in high school and college. St. Cyprian laid the foundation for their academic success. Facts speak well as a high percentage of St. Cyprian graduates are in honors at the various high schools in the area and do well where they go. Additionally, St. Cyprian graduates have a background where faith, respect, and service are taught and modeled. This gives them the keys and perspective to use knowledge effectively.

This school is behind in the new teaching methods and curriculum. My child was taken out and placed in another school for this very reason. Pretty sad that the public schools are a year ahead in mathematics. So on top of that tuition, I had to teach an extra year of math in addition to enrichment classes just so that my child was up to speed with the other students. The coursework is not challenging enough in comparison to the other public schools. The homework that was given at St. Cyprian does not even compare to the homework given by the neighboring public schools. How times are changing, it used to be the other way around.

Great school. Wonderful principal. Kids succeed because they monitor the progress of every child closely.

St. Cyprian School is a small school with tremendous spirit; structure; discipline; and teacher/principal-involvement with every student.

I have a son and daughter at St. Cyprian. It is a great school. The teachers and Sr. Kathleen are great. They care about the children. My kids are very shy, but year by year I see them blossoming. There are only about 15-20 kids in each grade. So being that my kids are shy they get the attention I am looking for. This is a small school, all the kids seem to know each other, and look out for each other.

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.
