This school has been a big disappointment since my son started there in 1st grade. Ever since Father Ed Nadonly left the whole Catholic values, honesty and morals of the school has gone with him. Very sad, and the caliber of the Middle school Math is mediocre at best. This used to be the best Catholic

My son has done very well at St. Stan's. Academically, I believe the school does a good job. I believe the school can do more with math. It seems as though St. Stan's is a little behind compared to public schools in that area. Although I am very glad that Catholic teachings are included in the curriculum,

The extra curricular activities offered are great and the band program is a definite plus. The classes used to be smaller, but now are larger which does not offer as much individualized attention that I would like. Overall, St. Stan's is a good school both academically and spiritually.

St Stanislaus is a great school everyone will love. Might I add that it is very big and kept extremely tidy. The athletics program is outstanding and allows each level of capability to be answered.

I assure you from my knowledge that previous students that have graduated always come back to thank the teachers for the preparation for high school. Students also love that there are always millions of friends to have and nobody gets left behind. Read less

My experience with St Stans is so variable, it is hard to say whether I would recommend it. I have a graduate and a current student.

Father Ed was the shining light of the school and would ignore any/all red tape for a child's best interests. Hopefully someone will step up to make St Stans a star again! Read less
