After experiencing public schools in different states, what a refreshing change to have our three children learn in a challenging, christian environment with a caring, nuturing staff and excellent administration. We were new to the parish and school and have been made to feel welcome. As with all things,

The staff is very accessible and goes out of their way to make sure that your child is in the best environment to maximize their potential. What a blessing to start and end their day with prayer...and have fabulous educational experiences in the middle. Read less
We have been very pleased with our experience at St Albert. There is a feeling of a friendly, helpful community and teachers who are genuinely concerned about their students. Like any life experience, you are going to get out of it what you put into it. But you will find it easy to become involved.
... Read more There are numerous opportunities for parents to be present both in the school and in extracurricular activites. Academically, I feel my children are getting an above average education in a Christ centered atmosphere. Having been a teacher, I know that no school is perfect and there will always be issues (such as bullying) in a large group of children. What is important is how seriously the staff takes matters such as these, and how they try to build a peaceful, positive atmosphere. We are happy to be a part of this school! Read less

I had 3 children go through St. Albert, Kindergarten - 8th grade. Our experience at St. Albert was wonderful! All 3 children were more than prepared for high school and their years beyond. They made lasting friendships will last a lifetime. The teachers, staff and administration could not have been

I agree with the negative posts from previous years. As a new family to St. Albert this year this school did not meet our expectations. We are very disappointed that we left public school and chose a Catholic school to get away from bullying and perhaps get a better education, or so we thought. St.

Academically speaking I didn't see the advantages at St. Albert, in many ways I feel my children received a better education in public schools. I feel the carpool system could be improved. The staff isn't very friendly or accessible. Overall huge disappointment we will be going back to public. Read less

St. Albert held their Academic Fair this past week. It was such an excellent way to 'show off' the types of projects and activities accomplished during this school year. It began with a music demonstration on the Orff instruments by the 5th and 6th graders. Then, each classroom was open for parents

As a former teacher, I can't imagine how many extra hours it took the staff to set up, display, take down, and distribute everything to their students to take home. Attendance by the parents was exceptional considering how busy this time of year is . St. Albert is a Blue Ribbon School, and we parents are very pleased with the education our children are receiving! Read less

I have 2 children at St Albert, in 3rd & 8th grade, both have attended since kindergarten. Obviously I would not have paid the tuition for 9 years now if I were not pleased with the results. I read previous reviews about clicks, snobs and rude behavior but have not personally ever experienced anything

Though I agree the conferences are a waste of time, I think my children have had a great experience, have been offered curriculum somewhat above that offered in the public school system here and see them encouraged to practice Christian behavior which, to me, is priceless! For that, I give St Albert 5 stars. Read less

We recently made the decision to move our children out of this school. Academically we feel our children did not receive the best education here. We will be playing catch up this summer. Pros- the school has a great sports program but that is about it. We found the school conferences a waste of time.
