I have two children at St. Paul's School, and i intend to keep them there. The principal is an energetic, passionate educator. The teachers are happy and nuture the students. The student body is diverse, exposing my children to different cultures and backgrounds. The education is very solid. The small classroom sizes allow for plenty of individual attention to my child. They are challenged and supported. The Christian values are celebrated, and the religion is not forced upon the children.

My daughter attended St. Paul School from first through eighth grade. She made a couple good friends who she now attend high school with. However, the academics were below average. I feel that s has not been taught important subjects such as math very well, she is struggling with algebra 1 in high school. The teachers were okay not great, a few did not set proper disciplinary boundaries, they babied the children and said if they attended extra help they would move their grade up to passing. But they did instill good Christian values in her that she will have for the rest of her life. And it helped her get into a top-notch private high school that she absolutely loves.

St. Paul School has a spectacular pre-K and Kindergarten program - definitely 5 star! Sadly, after that the quality of the education declines quickly. The instruction and materials in both reading and math are inconsistent with the neighboring schools, making it very difficult for a child to transfer from St. Pauls and be on grade level.

This is the most wonder school. All three of my children have gone there. The third in entering 5th grade. The staff is absolutely amazing. They put the children first. This school is a godsend!

I attened St. Paul for 7th and 8th grade, and it was by far the worst school I attended. The teachers at St. Paul got the students to do what they wanted by making us feel bad, or by telling us we weren't good Christians. My 8th grade teacher told my that i would never make it into Classical, and my mother should 'look for another high school for me' and now, I'm into my senior year at Classical.

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.

Oops! We currently do not have any student information for this school. We rely on the state Department of Education, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), and in some cases school administrators such as registrars and principals for this data.
