St. Paul School

Some of the teachers are great but the principal is extremely rude and thinks she knows what’s best for children that aren’t hers and will power trip on you if you let her. I personally was disrespected and belittled by the principal more than once. If you have a child without any big behavioral issues I think this school is a good option but if you need resources and meaningful help with a child that does have behavioral issues in the classroom I would avoid this school at all costs.

Even though the school has not been rebuilt, much has been done by the leadership to make sure that the grounds are kept clean and has done her best to buify the campus. The school has become a community that has everyone working together to ensure students' success. A community graden is being built so the community is going to become even greater.

Not a good school for kinders. The after school teachers and some of the teachers are not good at handling younger kids from my experience with my child going here. One of the after school teachers they had smacked my child’s hand which he was fired but the other teachers still didn’t take into consideration that the teacher traumatized him and didn’t work with him to try and get him to trust them. Instead they harassed me and my son and made me change my hours to shorter hours and then kinder staff who was mother and daughter there at the program started to harass me buy trying to get me in trouble because I didn’t want to tolerate the disrespect they were doing to me and my child anymore even when I tried to work them so everything could work out for me and them. I reached out to the program director who didn’t get back to me about this. I suggest a different school for the younger kids because there staff can not handle kids just entering the school.

This school is disappointing with a lackluster principal. He likes to give long speeches and brag about it being his 3rd year as principal yet the students aren't being guided properly. He doesn't follow through on what he says he will do and the children can see that. He doesn't like dealing with problems and is avoidant if he sees you in person he won't say hi. Most of the teachers are unprofessional and rude with the exception of a few. They show biases or something along those lines because they are rude for no apparent reason and they don't communicate if they have a problem, they will blame the child and ignore the parent. Honestly, very strange behaviors from some of the staff, especially since these are the people guiding our children. Very little communication and do not work in collaboration with parents to help with behaviors or exposures to derogatory terms. Staff gives special treatment to certain kids and that feels unfair and teaches them early on the same rules do not apply to them. I've never felt so unwelcome in a school environment as a parent.

The principal Mr. Nalic has no backbone and this school is falling apart under his leadership. He is never around to deal with issues at this school. He does not respond to emails and he does not face parents when being confronted. Several classrooms are without a teacher because this principal has not made the effort to hire credentialed teachers and he has to resort to long term substitutes. He does not provide these substitutes with teaching material and the students are not learning anything without a teacher in the classroom. I think the school district needs to do well by this school and put a leadership in place that will actually do their job.

I think it would be good if teachers without much experience should have more training
