St. Paul the Apostle Catholic School

My two children have attended this school since K-4 and are now in middle school. The school is small enough that the children get individual attention. The atmosphere is family-like. Despite the lack of physical facilities, there is always an air of excellence and optimism one cannot help but tap into. My children score consistently at the 99th percentile on the Iowa National Tests -- and I doubt it's ALL 'genetics' : ) Kudos to St Paul's; thank you for all you do -- my children love you. Grateful Mother of Caroline and Gaby

In an otherwise dismal school district this is the beacon of light.Great teachers and quality education,children are behaving and parents are involved. Only way to improve it: SCHOOL VOUCHERS. Truly wish we would have enough money and means to expand school to 12th grade. Our nightmare will begin in 4 years when our oldest son has to go to the public school in district 7. Do consider moving to Greenville,SC,where they can go to another great Catholic privat school.

Great School. Students are taught in a caring environment. Students consistently excel in standarized testing and excel when moving on to high school. Wonderful teachers.
