SAS is a wonderful school. The teachers are always there for the kids who need help. My child has succeeded in way we never thought possible. She has even won awards. We are so proud to be parents of a SAS student. There is no other school in the area we would send our children.

St. Anthony School is the best choice for any school in the deanery. The choice was obvious by the wonderful Open House we just attended. It made us feel like we were at home. We attended several in the deanery, but there was no comparison. We were so impressed with the amazing DVD, the grade level brochure, and the treatment we received as soon as we entered the building. They just really showed they cared about us, not just another number.

When we started here it was a great school. Over time it has fallen short! Seem like parents input means nothing anymore. When you do say or recommend something they always have an answer as to why you are not right. The classes are larger numbers now, no different than public. I feel like it is a waist of money!

We have two children in school at St. Anthony and can't wait until the third starts preschool there next year. The administration and faculty create such a great atmosphere for kids from all backgrounds to learn and grow.

St. Anthony School is the best decision I ever made. My child is happy, safe and excels academically. I could not imagine her going any where else. Everyone should send their child to a school as wonderful as this one.

St. Anthony's provides a safe, supportive environment for my child. It excels in academics and challenges my child to do his best. The staff and teachers are excellent and create a "family environment" at this school.

St. Anthony's provides a great education with caring teachers. The faith based education is worth choosing over the public options.

Our son has been at St. Anthony School for two years and we couldn't be happier! We love that SAS provides a faith-based education in a diverse, inclusive atmosphere.

No help for a child that struggles at all! Very little satisfaction from the principle. Some really nice teachers and some that I won't comment on. Overall not very happy.

Wonderful school. I am very pleased with the community atmosphere, the academic excellence, loving, caring teachers and the great education that my daughter is receiving.

My children started SAS in pre-school. I now have one getting ready to graduate 8th grade. I have been very pleased with the teachers and the extra help they offer when needed. They have always gone the extra mile. I feel very blessed to have had my child go from PK through 8th grade. It is a great environment where the teachers put learning and the kids first through a variey of opportunities. SAS is always a leader in academic olympics, ISTEP scores, sports and music/art/science fairs. The principal is a good leader and sets a great example for all the teachers. Way to go SAS!

We left. The new administration is horrible. Very negative. There has been a lot of staff turnover.

I went to school here, now my daughter is going. I think St. Anthony's is the best school in the deanery. I wouldn't send her anywhere else. The faculty is wonderful and the parents are very involved.
—Submitted by a former student


Posted November 23, 2005

St. Anthony's is awesome. Their ISTEP scores are continually much better than the state averages, which is a testimony to the great teachers. A local high school English teacher told me that she can always tell a St. Anthony's student before asking, because they have a mastery of writing than no other school teaches. St. Anthony's also teaches the values we find are important in today's world. Go Bears!

I am a graduate of St.Anthonys and I think it is the best elementry and junior high in this area. The teachers are just flat out great people and great at what they do.

We love St. Anthony's! Our daughter is in the preschool program at St Anthony's and it is a wonderful preparation for kindegarten. Being a part of St. Anthony's School is like being a part of a big family. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. We look forward to sending all of our children through St. Anthony's. The teachers are very dedicated and hardworking-they go above and beyond the job! What a blessing!

Rating legend

average
Average
Above
average

Our rating (from 1 to 10) reflects a school's overall performance. The higher the rating, the more likely the school will prepare your child for the future, so choose an above-average school (8-10) if possible. For average schools (4-7), do careful research and look for evidence that the school has high-quality programs. For below-average schools (1-3), take caution; a low-performing school may not provide the instruction or environment your child needs to learn, and you may need to supplement classroom lessons at home.

Academic rating

The academic rating is made up of equally-weighted parts: students' test scores, their academic growth (for elementary and middle schools) and their readiness for college (for high schools). The graphs below compare this school's results in each area to other schools in the city and state. Growth and college readiness ratings are coming soon, pending publication of 2012 data.
