St. Adalbert Elementary School

I suspect the three negative comments are trolls. While they may have had a bad experience, in thier personal past with other administration they now appear to have a personal vendetta - the current administration from as best as I can gather are committed, understanding and supportive. Sr. Kathleen takes a personal interest in EVERY student in her school. My son left Public School in a state of near trauma due to bullying that was uncorrected in the Public School. Sr. Kathleen has made my son and EVERY child in her school a priority, she is compassionate, empathetic but also insists that students be accountable - something that is sorely missing not only in school but in many homes today as well. I give St. A's an EXCELLENT rating and would have no problem referring ANYONE to send their child there. That is not to negate any pain one may feel due to an experience one may have had in their past; however it is equally abusive to sabotage opportunity for other children due to personal misgivings. There are other ways to seek justice; however, don't poison the whole barrel, hold those specifically responsible accountable. Otherwise, it's slander.

I planed to send my child to this school this May. I went to this school and met with the principal and few teachers, however, I was so disappointed. The principal is horrible and the education system is way behind other schools. I decided not to send my child to this school. Please save your money and time.

I went to this school and sadly the nuns and teachers at that time had verbally physically and mentally abused us. For 9 years everyone that went to that school endured it. I have kids and still live in the neighborhood and I refuse to send my kids there They have gotten a better education in public school. Hold onto your tuition money put it on the side for the college education instead .. the kids will be better off !!

I went to this school and I can honestly say the education was poor. Very behind the times. Save your families money and send the kids to public school.

this school isn't the greatest but its okay the upper grade teachers are caring and loving but the principal is harsh and hardly gives second chances. i use to go to this school

My daughter has attended St. Adalbert's from pre-k and is now graduating 8th grade. Not only has she received an excellent academic education, but also an excellent moral education that will stay with her for the rest of her life. Most of the teacher's are excellent, and the principal is the most hard-working and caring person you will ever meet. There is nothing more important to her than the welfare of her students. I am so happy that we chose St. Adalbert's to give my daughter the foundation to take her into her adult years.

Everyone (from the principal to the teachers to the nurse to the office staff) at Saint Adalbert's is very approachable, helpful, and responsive. My wife and I feel very fortunate to have our daughters in the school and we have seen them both progress so much.

The school treats every child from grades pre-k to 8th grade as individuals with certain goals. After graduating from this school, I've seen many accomplishments for both this city and state as a whole!

This school is excellent in academic and the atmosphere is great. My niece graduated from here and now goes to one of the Prestige College in the country with a full scholarship and my nephew is in eight grade now. My son also attends to this school and his in 4th grade. Principal is very caring and knows the students individually and that is very important. Parents with negative comments or students really needs to assessed their priority because it takes both parents and students to be on top of everything. Teachers teach and guides the students but students needs to do their share of learning and effort. Whatever school you attend to bottom line is do the work and put effort in learning. I highly recommend the school to all.

My son was a new student in September 2008 and the transition from a Public School was difficult for him. While this was a very challenging situation, I found the administration very supportive of the transition. I noted that another parent on this site was not pleased due to the lack of 'test prep' however, that is the exact reason why I elected to place my son in St. Adalberts. I am not looking for test prep, I am looking for a well rounded education. While there will always be times when parents, students and teachers do not see eye to eye, the most important lesson I believe one can teach a child is accountability and how to adapt to such situations. I am overall very pleased with the staff and administration and especially hold the Principal Sr. Kathleen in the highest regard and would recommend St. Adalberts to anyone.
