We love SMOW. The small classes, wonderful teachers--particularly our outstanding principal and AP--and fantastic specials programs (you should see the artwork my kids come home with!) make us feel so good about the choice we've made for our kids. They love school (for reference, my kids are in 6th,
Posted by a parent on 3/18/2026As an alum and current parent, I continue to be impressed with the broader school and St. Mary of the Woods community. There is a reason why so many former students return to the neighborhood to raise their own families and send them to St. Mary of the Woods. Faith-based education is a choice, and t
Posted by a parent on 3/16/2026I am an educator, so when my husband and I were looking for private schools, we had several important things that we considered as non negotiable: strong academics, small class sizes, and a safe and supportive community, driven by faith. I will preface that my husband and I are not city employees an
Posted by a parent on 9/25/2025St. Mary of the Woods is a great school and community. All work hard to provide a very well rounded and structured curriculum. They offer many different sports programs too. Our experience has been exceptional in every single way. Our youngest son started attending St. Mary of the Woods in 5th grade

The school benefits from a highly involved and supportive parent community.Parent Review1y ago - Fairview South Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have two children at the school and we've been there 4 years. Teachers are consistently high quality (effective, well trained in pedagogy and curriculum, and strong classroom managers). Several teachers we have had are some of THE BEST teachers I've ever seen in my experience with education. Something that sets this school apart is how built into the day opportunities for academic differentiation and social-emotional support are. The school uses data to frequently place students into tiered instruction, both for more challenging work and remediation. Every teacher we've had has been communicative- particularly in responding immediately and with care when we reach out- and seems to TRULY care about their students. I also love that the school staff is fairly consistent, and MANY adults in the building (including admin and superintendent) know your children by name and know you if you participate in events with regular frequency. In my experience, adults at this school have gone above and beyond to attend to both of our kids' unique needs.Parent Review3w ago - Wildwood Elementary School
