My child has been at this school for 5 years now, what first attracted me to the school was the warmth and friendliness that came from the parents. That has pretty much worn off as it is quite apparent to me as well as others that there are cliques within the school. They are not friendly nor are they interested in including other's in their groups. Hello, if you leave people out they will not want to volunteer for functions that the school has. The PTG meetings have turned into recrutments for volunteering and not actually listening to parents concerns and issues that the (the PTG) as intermediaries between parents & school staff are suppose to do. Another issue the lack of use of the 'school gym'. All the excuses that are given as to why there are not more than 1 home games per grade and they are unaceptable.
We are all entitled to our own experience. Us? We've just gotta' go, though it hasn't all been bad. Nothing ever is. Sports, lunch, safety are good as others point to. We can ask a lot more though. Why are the teachers dis-spirited and a few just unpleasant? We can't in conscience stay to find out. There is too much inconsistency in academics. the principal is uninterested. So, if you are thinking of coming here...research well. Others have a good opinion and experience. some do not! Be sure you talk to a lt of people. Then decide and all the best to you.
We have three children at the school. I would rate it a medium. Our kids make progress and are safe, but there is so much more to be desired. I would call the curriculum warmed over. Too much 'paper-pushing' and not enough critical thinking. Luckily we are able to provide that at home.I've approached admin about this and the principal was not helpful, seemed scared of conflict which I did not intend nor present. Our kids all play sports and the program is good. Principal and pastor might consider stepping down and giving the reins to someone with more spirit.
We are a new family to St. Pauls. I was very surprised with some of the negative reviews as our experience has been great. The principal has been warm and helpful, the teacher caring and friendly, and the other parents extraordinarily welcoming.
