For the 2008 - 2009 school year we switched from St. Peter's to Public School. After having attended St. Peter's for 8 years, our child went into public school for the 6th grade. Were it not for many hours of extra tutoring our child would not have passed the TAKS test. Our child was consistently

Which test, the national standardized testing or the TAKS is a more accurate assessment, I'm not sure. But what I do know is that if I'm paying for a private school education, my child should be able to pass a public school assessment. A 6th grader is a grader, no matter what type of school they attend. BUYER BEWARE Read less

Mediocre at best. We have been disappointed on so many different levels.The other reviews coupled with ours speak volumes. The downward trend is painfully obvious. Academics leave a lot to be desired as does the attitude displayed by both teachers & students regarding treatment of one another.

The school and the staff are in major need of an overhaul.

The staff at St. Peter's is caring and kind, but the physical facility is outdated and dreadful.

Fantastic school! This was my daughter's first year at St. Peter's. I gave my daughter the choice to try out St. Peter's and if she didn't like it she could go back to her old school.

St. Peter is a Blue Ribbon school! My family loves this school. Eventually I will have all 4 of my kids in attendance. The curriculum (follows national standards) is more rigorous than the TEA required one. My daughter began reading in kindergarten and my friend's son is doing algebra in 6th grade.

With weekly prayer services, the kids are given a strong sense of morality and spirituality. The principal is awesome and is currently revising the curriculum to make it even more progressive.
