Something to note when deciding weather to send your child to St. George is that no one cares about your. My daughter attended the school for 8 years and was severely bullied in middle school. The school did nothing about it. The large class size is also a big issue because teachers can’t have a one on one relationship with their students. Teachers at this school praise bad children who do one good thing but overlook the children who do good every day. If your child is not rich and popular then he or she will not fit in and will be overlooked. The whole school and parental community fostered this clique based community and it is not okay. Schools should respect and love the mental well being of all children of just the popular ones. I am deeply hurt that my child had to suffer through middle school there.

Don't go here, the teachers treat students very unprofessionally~

The families at St. Jude are wonderful, and many of the teachers are, as well. However, I feel the administration is making decisions that are not in the best interest of my child and is creating an atmosphere of quitting a difficult task rather than striving for excellence. The communication from teachers and administration is nil. For example, if a child must maintain a certain grade to stay in an honors program, that should be communicated at the very beginning of the year. Likewise, if the use of a tutor is going to be a penalty, this too should be clearly communicated from the outset. Instead, the administration waited until the last week of school and simply let us know that our child is being removed from the program the next year, even though that child has maintained a good grade all year. The school is effectively removing any possibility this child take Algebra in the 8th grade and therefore eliminating any possibility of this child taking college level classes while in high school. To remove a child from a program with such strong ramifications because the child might possibly-- but has not yet-- failed to succeed is beyond infuriating as a parent. Perhaps this is the trend at all schools, but I only have experience with this school. Parents, ask questions, look around and do not assume any school is the right fit for your child just because everyone says it is great, it is in a certain part of town or the tuition is a certain amount. Use your own gut and make your own call. If I had listened to mine, we probably would have left some time ago.

As new Dunham School parents, we're thrilled with our experience. The transition for our middle schooler has been fantastic. Students and staff are incredibly welcoming, creating a strong sense of community. Teachers are exceptional, providing top-notch education. The sports programs are competitive and well-balanced. Moving from another local private school, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Dunham offers the perfect blend of academic excellence, personal growth, and a supportive environment. Highly recommend for families seeking a quality education in a nurturing setting.
