my son has been at this school 3 years now. He will not be returning after this year. his reading levels are not advancing as they should. too many students in one class. ifeel like they are just pushing him thru.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI wanted to leave an updated review. My child went to preschool at WSS and now is in kindergarten. They are very receptive, works with families and my child loves the Metro program! I like the comfortable and flexible environment. They use the app well to communicate to families about things that are happening. I like the Urban setting of WSS, and my child loves the fact that his school is in "his city". They have diversity in families and children they serve. So far so good in our early school career. I am happy with the choice of enrolling my child there and he is thriving. Working with the school team to identify possible problems and working through solutions. This school is not under the same principal from earlier reviews. My child is very proud of the character awards they give at school.Parent Review4y ago - St Anthony Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school was absolutely horrible. No teaching got done whatsoever in at least the middle school area. My teenager would come with no homework, no learning done, completely bored and uneducated. Always kids fighting, yelling, out of control with the teachers completely ignoring and given up on the students. It was the worst decision to send my child to St. Anthony’s. Nothing Catholic about this school, completely unprofessional, my child came to me that they had been in the office and were asked to translate when a parent that hadn’t spoke fluent English came in. Absolutely terrible, all the drama at their school and they kept trying to change me fees that I didn’t know about, even after my child graduated. I feel so dissatisfied with the school NEVER EVER SEND YOUR CHILD THERE!!!Other Review11mo ago - Grandview Park Baptist School
