I removed my children from St. Peter's 2009 due to crowded classrooms. At recess low adult:child ratio; students play where ungated driveway opens into street. Several parents raised concerns to unresponsive administration, since lack of oversight resulted in intolerably rough play. It was suggested
... Read more that school recruit parent volunteers for recess duty; answer: current ratio of 1 or 2: 60 is acceptable, 'has always been that way.' Administration: little control over subordinate non-faculty; boundaries between appropriate involvement of non-faculty personnel in private student matters is unprofessional. Extent to which non-faculty personnel exercise control over decisions reflects poorly on leadership; who is running the school? During heartbreaking time in my family's life, I found administration impassive and uncharitable, especially with respect to an indiscrete, shockingly insensitive use of highly personal information. Shouldn't be that difficult to effect change that will benefit the children in whose best interest administration is supposed to serve. Read less

My child had a fair experience at St. Peter's School. I did not send him to the school last year due to what I believe was unacceptable social behavior displayed by his peers. The faculty seemed to dismiss the rough behavior as 'typical' boys. The behavoir displayed would not have been tolerated at

I am a parent of a student who has been at St. Peter's from preschool through eighth grade. This is an excellent school that is continually striving to give the best academic, social and spiritual experience to its students. The school participates in the Catholic Athletic League (having cross country,

The teachers are extrememly dedicated, running students clubs, committees and sports, for which they get no extra compensation. They are also talented and creative teachers. I cannot imagine how a third grade parent could post such a negative comment about the teacher, when she is one of the hardest working people in the school and one of the best teachers my son has ever had. I think that parent may have some other ax to grind. Read less

I go to St. Peters right now and i must say that if you are thinking of sending your kid here you are your stupid but at the same time you are not.

I attended this school for ten years, from pre-school until eigth grade. The school does lack some things that at the time, us students thought were huge deals: a gym, many different sports, and it is quite small. However, now that I look back upon my experiences, I must say that the good really outweighed

We became attached to a close-knit class and were able to grow, learn, and experience things with people that we felt comfortable with, and people that we got to know every day. There isn't a better and safer place to experience all the pressures and new things about middle school. The teachers truly cared about us, knew everything about our families, and really loved us. Now, the school has four different sports and new computers. The middle school dances were such a blast. This school is really wonderful and loving. Read less
