I 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 ar
Posted by a parent on 12/11/2021This year they have a drop off lane for the kid, which is a plus, if they can do this for pickup too it would be great. They also have a lot of staffing changes this year, hopefully good changes to help pull up test scores, The test scores of the children in this school really concern me, especially
Posted by a parent on 9/1/2015The school does a great job and has made many improvements in its short 10 year history. Academic achievement has been increasing each year, but gains are still needed and it seems like the effort by staff is targeted. Certainly there are things that can continue to improve, as with any school. Inte

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
