I loved the international feel of this school. The teachers really care about the students, and you really learn to appreciate a lot of other cultures. Learning can be fun!

I am student at St. Paul Preparatory School. This is my fourth and final year at this school. I have met many different students from many different countries. A lot of my friends are now back in their home countires, but, I still keep in touch with them! It has been an amazing experience!The teachers are great! They care about the students! They are very experienced! I have learned a lot from this school. If you are looking for a college preparatory schoo, this is it! SPP offers AP classes. They continue to add more AP classes each year. If you are invovled in many sports, this may not be the school for you. But SPP offers girls basketball, girls soccer, boys soccer, and boys basketball. I think my teachers have prepared me for college. That is important too. It's a great school! I can't imagine going anywhere else!!

This is a great school for kids who really want to immerse themselves in a global environment. There are now over 150 students and most are from Asia, Europe (eastern & western) and South America. Great academics and teachers. Strengths include math team, mock trial, model UN. Short on sports but does offer basketball and soccer.

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.
