The TAG (Talented and Gifted) group is the best I've seen in years! They're attempting to have a sports complex built in Council Bluffs!
—Submitted by a teacher


Posted February 3, 2011

There's a reason this school is rated as poor as it is and it is the teachers! I've never experienced teachers with an "I'm better than you" attitude. A teacher should always build up students to their fullest ability, not bully them. If we are still in the area my children will be attending St Alberts.

Too much emphasis on helping the less gifted students at the cost of not pushing my daughter who consistently did well in another state
