"There are a ton of kids in the neighborhood. it's generally safe enough to play in the street, but the church parking lot seems to be the popular and safer spot for bikes, sports, etc."

"I've lived here for 3 years and there was one shooting and 3 break ins that I know about. I live in a quieter part of Riverpark and have only felt unsafe during the time when the break ins were happening. They were on my street. "

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTeachers are allowed to bully & pick on children. This is terrible! These children are supposed to be nurtured & protected while at school. Not be damaged & taught that bullying is acceptable when done by an adult. This has been a recurring problem & is nothing new. I am not the only person to witness this at Nuner.Also, if you want to be told that your child is on the bus, then have no one answer the phone at Nuner or transportation when you've been at your child's bus stop for 1 hour after dismissal & your child has not been dropped off because she was STILL AT SCHOOL & NO ONE THOUGHT IT IMPORTANT THEY CONTACT THE CONCERNED PARENT, then this is the school for you. Good luck!Parent Review3y ago5 Reviews - St Anthony De Padua School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school has been great for both of my kids. It is diverse and also offers an outstanding education. Sports and other extracurriculars are well-done, and there is a strong sense of community. Our third child will also be going to school there when he is of age. Highly recommend!Parent Review3y ago16 Reviews
