Clarence E Culver School

My son has been going to this school since Pre-K. He’s in 2nd grade now and we’ve never had any complaints whatsoever.

I totally agree with the negative comments. I could have not say it better than those. We are soooo disappointed in the school because of the teachers. I have personally been treat by one of their teachers as if I am her student. No respect towards me, ignores my questions and acts mad everything time I have asked a reasonable question. She thinks she is the best math teacher around. What she should be is more like Christ and treat people respectfully and WITH manners regardless of their nationality.

As a middle school parent at St. John Brebeuf School, I can't say enough good things about our experience. The staff is incredibly caring and patient, always taking the time to truly understand and support the needs of each student. It’s clear that the teachers want the kids to grow not just academically, but as kind, respectful people too. And whenever we've had a concern or question, the administrators have been quick to respond and genuinely open to listening. There's a real sense of community here, and you can feel that your child is known and valued. We're grateful to be part of a school that blends strong academics with a warm, faith-filled environment.

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, 5th, 3rd, and preK). Being a part of SMOW means being part of a tight knit community of people who help each other out in times of need and suffering. We have a huge variety of sports teams and after-school enrichment programs. There is also aftercare daily, which is reasonably priced. Could not recommend it more. It's a great day to be a knight!

Positives: teachers prioritize student learning and work hard to keep their class motivated and engaged. Negatives: there is a genuine lack of concern for bullying and student emotional support. When I spoke to the principal about my frustrations she told me I was "sarcastic." I was disappointed in how the school was responding and was upset at how my son had been treated. I told her I was angry and frustrated but nothing I said was untrue. She explained she may have used the wrong word. I don't think a principal should ever speak to a parent that way, especially a parent who is seeking understanding and is frustrated with the experience of her child.
