Bowers Elementary School

We have been attending Saint Lawrence Elementary and Middle school for several years. We love the teacher involvement and dedication to ensuing children succeed in a safe environment. The teachers address negative behaviors immediately and make the environment safe for learning.

This school isn’t worth your time or money. It is very unsafe for children of color and the principal Mrs Sabbatini is not prepared to address these issues. She is part of the problem. The staff is all homogeneous. The curriculum centers whiteness and lacks multiculturalism. The students are disrespectful and do not represent Christian values. I would not waste $20,000 a year at this school. Run

I can't say enough good things about SCCS. From day one, the staff made our family feel welcomed. They strike that rare balance of being warm and nurturing while also maintaining high academic and behavioral expectations. My boys are excited to go to school each morning, and as a parent, that peace of mind is priceless.The teachers are exceptional—patient, communicative, and deeply invested in each child’s growth. They recognize that kids learn differently and somehow manage to challenge, encourage, and celebrate each child as an individual. Yes, it is a Christian school, but it is by no means over the top and our boys really enjoy the stories and songs. The lessons are truly focused on being good humans - who can argue with inspiring a little more love and kindness?What stands out most is the sense of community. This isn’t just a school; it’s a partnership. Whether it’s helping my youngest gain confidence in preschool or ensuring my older kids are engaged, curious, and supported, the school consistently goes above and beyond.As a mom juggling work, schedules, and three very different personalities, I can say with complete confidence that this school has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our family. My boys are thriving—and we can't say thank you enough to SCCS.
