St. Paul Lutheran School Reviews

I'm Sorry that one parent had a bad experience at St Paul and decided to unload on them. The Principal was hired due to her 20+ years experience and leadership skills. She is also an outstanding Christian role model - as are each of the teachers and staff members as well. My children not only receive an outstanding education, but an outstanding Christian education as well. They receive individual attention when warranted - which is something they did not receive in public schools. Please understand - St Paul is not 'perfect' in everything - but I choose to send my children there because of the overall Christian atmosphere and learning environment - and I understand that in any educational setting where 150+ students reside, there will be hiccups that occur. I'd rather have St Paul handle these hiccups than anyone else.

St. Paul's has been a great school for my child. The small student/parent ratio is wonderful because each child gets the attention they need. The teachers and staff are always very approachable and very dedicated to the students. The school may not have the most up-to-date technology and gadgets but it has the most important aspects of an education -- a positive learning experience where the children are in a safe, Christian environment. I have been pleased with the experience we have had at St. Paul's for the past 4 years.

My children are second generation students at St. Paul. I attended St. Paul myself and when I switched to public school for high school, the entire year was a repeat of what I'd learned the previous year at St. Paul (in 8th grade). St. Paul helped me to excel for above the other students in high school that had always been in public school. My children have been at St. Paul for 5 years. The class sizes are smaller. Both of my children have learned so much this year, and I believe that it has to do with the fact that the their teachers are able to spend a lot of one on one time with him. They wouldn't have that advantage in a public school class with 20+ children. St. Paul is a loving, Christian environment that will both nurture and educate your children.

my child has been here for over 4 years and I was happy with it at first! Now its like a circus! There is no real principle, simply a teacher made into one. The teahcers who have children that go there play favortism and make it very obvious. The lunches are terrible and the kids dont know what it is half the time. The teachers play favorties among the students as well as parents. At first I was so happy with this school now its nothing but a nightmare!

St Paul is an outstanding school that concentrates on the basics of education in a caring christian environment. If you're into what's shiny and the newest fads, this isn't the school for you. If you want to ensure your child has a strong educational and christian foundation, give them a try. My kids now excel in a private high school and a private college because each of their foundations were built rock solid from St Pauls.

My 5 year old son attended St. Paul Lutheran School for PreK-3 and PreK-4. It has been a wonderful experience for both of us. Most of the kids who attend the school are members of the St. Paul Lutheran Church. We were 'outsiders' but were treated in a very welcoming and friendly manner at all times. Next fall my son will be attending Brykerwoods Elementary but we will miss all of our friends at St. Paul's.
