WOW, the 1-star review is bewildering. They must have reviewed a different school accidentally…read more (Hey, that happens.) Three of my kids graduated from St. Peter. The teachers' love for EVERY student is so evident and heart-warming. No favorites, just love for all. The school remained open for in-person schooling even during the pandemic. They employed extensive, expensive, tireless safety measures -- because they love everyone. Teachers and staff volunteered countless extra hours to keep families safe while offering in-person classes -- something essential for education! Bottom line: Your child's education is WAY too important to entrust to an internet opinion poll. Schedule an in-person visit today and talk to the principal and staff so you can make your own decision. It's just an hour of your life -- a small investment to make a super important decision for you child!

If your child isn't "popular", they won't be treated the same as the "it" kids by their teachers…read more It's evident which students the teachers favor and in a school where they practically shout "practice what you're preached", they're exponentially hypocritical. Parents, if your child isn't a favorite, you can expect to be looked down upon as well. If your child has a question about something they were taught (and they're aren't already afraid to ask a question through no fault of their own) there's a good chance they'll be yelled at. Everyone learns differently; there's more than one way to explain a concept. My child shouldn't be penalized and criticized and feel stupid for asking a question because they learn/understand differently. I shouldn't have to repeatedly explain a lesson or go over a concept because my child's teacher doesn't effectively explain it. My child may not understand something right away and that's fine, but when I have to go over lessons every school night until they understand it, it's not my child. There's a tremendously unnecessary emphasis on sports. Plain and simple. Plus, there's a coach that swears in front of the players. It's grade school, not the world championship. They don't do anything about bullying. My child had an unfortunate experience with some kids and they always say you should tell a teacher... If you want nothing done, tell a teacher. The issue was never resolved and the bullying continued for months. If there's an issue with a teacher specifically, it's hard to voice your concern seeing as there's a lot of husband/wife teachers. That's why, for example, the principal's wife gets away with being a bad educator. If you want your child to be miserable and be surrounded by liars, hypocrites, and kids who are more fake than processed food, send them here. The best decision I made was taking my child out of there. I know many parents who feel the same way; it's a toxic place. After seeing my child dramatically improve intellectually and actually learn something, they were excited about school. They became more confident in their abilities and made great friends. They felt comfortable asking for help and they were shown what they did wrong instead of basically being told they're dumb. For the sake of your child's mental and spiritual health, please do your research and find a school that's worth your money.
