Substantial decline in enrollment, most to other private schools. Not due to economy as often implied. Some good families still remain. Ask hard questions, and demand complete and honest answers. SPX has great potential. Word is that legitimate change may be in wind (but that remains to be seen). Read less

This school has had a steady decline in the past four years. It is to the point of unacceptability. The middle school has a high teacher turn over rate and bullying is a serious issue.
