The classes sizes in this school are not rediculous!!! They seem like they have it together even with a new principal. Everyone seems very humble for the most part and that's great for the kids.
I concur with parents that think "Teachers do not always seem to want to make ajustments for students with differences". The class sizes are ridiculous to the point that pubic schools student teacher ratio is wayyyyyyyyyy much better and the school does not have enough teacher assistants.
St. Andrew is a top notch school--truly a community of educators. The teachers, principal, clergy, and after school care providers all engage students in a meaningful way. The school's Blue Ribbon awards and student successes in regional and national competitions/activities speaks to the quality of the education received at St. Andrew. The school provides students with a challenging, yet manageable work load, which will serve them well in the future. Highly recommended.
I'm a junior high student at St. Andrews. The teaching at St. Andrews is very seriously taken, which is good. But, in junior high years, you have a crazy homework amount most of the time. And, about 3-6 test on average a week. I perferably do not agree with the schedule either.
I find that this school does a good job with students who have no learning differences. Teachers do not always seem to want to make ajustments for students with differences. Teachers will not go out of their way to meet with parents or return calls. Often my calls(which have been very few over the course of many years) have gone unreturned.
Im quite unhappy with my school im in junior high and they push me wayy to hard and make me miserable right now im studying for THREE tests tomorrow and next week i have standardiezed testing 2 tests in one subject and one in another it's very stressful for me and there is an unacceptable amount of homework i really dislike my school and my parents aren't to happy with it either
This school was just awarded a second Blue Ribbon from the US Dept of Education, and its graduates have been accepted into their top choice high schools for several years. Obviously they are doing a great job.
a school were students and teachers all have a learning expierence. Not to mention a great staff!
I love this school, everything about it is just fantastic!
I am very happy with St.Andrew Apostle School and Community. The teachers that my child has had were great. They have well run and well disciplined classrooms with exciting ideas and fun ways to implement the curriculum.I am also happy with the parent involvement at St. Andrews. Parents are always welcomed into the school by the great office staff. The school is always willing to accept parent volunteers and appreciates what we do for the school.
