This is a great school! Not only are the teachers and administration engaged and finding ways to help kids grow, but they're also engaged in the community to help make the whole neighborhood better. We've been sending our kid here for four years now, and I have never doubted that he's surrounded by
Posted by a parent on 6/29/2026Armour is an excellent neighborhood school! As a kindergarten parent, I've been very impressed with my son's academic progress in a short period of time. The school environment is warm and empathetic, and my son's teacher is communicative and responsive to my questions and concerns. My kiddo clearly
Posted by a parent on 1/19/2023I have been trying to obtain a simple code for the parent portal since SEPTEMBER 2016 to help my niece monitor her son's grades. They can't even return a simple phone call. My nephew, who graduated from there in 2015, is currently repeating 9th grade in High School... they pushed him thru 7th to 8th

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe principal is a joke. Student safety and overall mental health is the last thing on his agenda. He does not care about anyone's kids getting bullied. It is not a safe environment for kids. There are zero consequences. All the kids have to do is say "sorry" And All is forgiven. Kids have gotten so smart that they know they can do whatever they want to anyone. The kids are literally running around wild. It's like the wild wild West. If you send your kid here, you would not be able to sleep at night. There are good teachers there but their hands are tied.Parent Review10mo ago - Minnie Minoso Academy

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have two boys at St. Jerome, going into 5th and 2nd. This is our second year and I am VERY happy with the school. Academically, I feel they are really being challenged. I am a big fan of the curriculum-they teach the common sense, fundamentals that kids need without all the nonsense public schools are teaching these days. There is very strong parental involvement and tons of activities that the kids get involved with generous jeans to support causes, many field trips, mother-son mayhem, father-daughter dance, all-school picnic and many other unique activities that I haven't seen at other schools.Parent Review3y ago - St Barbara Elementary School
