If your child needs help and support don’t let the blue ribbon award fool you. Special education here is often given by a para pro (not even a certified teacher.). Admin will spend more time hiding your child’s weakness so they don’t have to be held accountable or give any intervention. They began to read my child’s tests outloud to him so he would get As and Bs and then used his inflated grades to deny him help (despite him being 2 years behind in reading). Of course they didn’t communicate to me that he was getting assistance on his tests. It was disgusting. Principal sits in her office all day and only responds to parents if you reach out to a board or council member. I was extremely disappointed with the entire admin, counselors and special education team. I know others in special ed who have had a similar experience. They put all the kids in GT classes to try and accelerate the scores but won’t help the ones behind.

My child constantly complains of being bullied. My child has also been physically abused twice by boys. She's a girl. I've voiced my concern. Didn't offer a parent/teacher conferences or anything. They just brush it off and sweep it under the rug. We will be transferring school. My child NEVER had this problem at other schools

I am currently a parent at St. Stephen School. My son has been attending since preK 3. It has never crossed my mind to check for other options in the area. Both my kids love their teachers, friends and we as parents love the community and friendships we have formed. I have in the past and will recommend any time someone asks for a good elementary/ middle school

It’s so nice at this school my children absolutely love it!
