Read what parents are saying about Visitation SchoolIf you have a boy then they should not be sent to this school. The boy ratio is low and if you child isn't part of the in-crowd they are ignore and the teachers say the right things but nothing about bullying gets done. This school went with Singapore Math. They switched kids who hadn't had it before and now parents are paying for tutoring since Singapore Math puts your child behind in repetition items and what all middle schools are teaching. Very bad choice and should have been "grandfathered in" as children come into the school. Teachers don't even know how to teach it and not enough books until months into the school year. For what you pay, you don't get your money's worth!
Posted by a parent on 2/26/2024With so many options of amazing schools in the Twin Cities please do not put Visitation on your short list. With the current director of the school leaving this institution and its reputation is at an all time low. Very little to offer in resources. This is not a school for everyone, something their staff takes pride in. Do not expect a welcoming environment if you do not fit their mold. Always stay on top of what your children are doing. The internal communication is not broken but completely missing.
Posted by a parent on 12/17/2023I have experienced Visitation on several levels, including observing, now three family members, being educated at Visitation. The enviroment, staff and formation of students are excellent. Visitation is a hidden gem in our midst with an amazing history. As a product of a Catholic All Girl's Academy, I know first hand quailty education and ethics. Visitation is that, and so much more.
Posted by a community member on 12/5/2021Visitation School rooted me in healthy habits and values. Vis raised my expectations for myself and taught me how to fulfill those expectations in life. Long after graduation, I still look to Vis for inspiration to do good work and to be my best self.Rene Gavic, the Head of School, deserves a special note of appreciation. Her steady and wise leadership helps students and faculty excel as individuals and as a community. She mentored me as a student, and I still go to her for insight on difficult life decisions.At Vis, students work hard, and their hard work pays off. I highly recommend Visitation School for your child.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe moved from another district to attend this school, and it was well worth it. Our child is thriving in kindergarten. The kindergarten teacher is fantastic and provides weekly updates about classroom activities. The school curriculum is centered on kindness and emotional health, which in turn creates a stable, supportive, environment for children to learn. The class size is small, so all the kids get enough individualized attention. The kids are reading, writing, and even creating their own stories! A counselor gives regular lessons on feelings, eg “what is empathy”. There are many other supportive services for specific student needs. (For example, one mom shared with me that she is very pleased with the many services her kid receives to address autism.). The students get lots of time outside to enjoy the beautiful wooded playground. My child’s classroom is small but diverse—economically, linguistically, and racially. We have received lots of support from other families who have been in the district a while and know how things operate. I have found all staff, most notably the principal and our child’s classroom teacher, to be extremely responsive. They answer all of my questions quickly and thoroughly. The school uses a restorative Justice model to address misbehavior—although it is rarely needed. Most importantly, our child is happy and secure. She wants to go to school every day. She comes home excited to share what she has learned. She is truly thriving, and we are so grateful to all the staff at Somerset.Parent Review1y ago - Mendota Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI love this school very much. I went there for 5 years and I loved every one of them. Mendota elementary is a very good place to send your kids. Every teacher there is very supportive and wants you to learn. So I would recommend Mendota 1000 times.Other Review5mo ago - Faithful Shepherd Catholic School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageFSCS is a great school. The teachers are all very engaged and really care about the students. My kids really enjoy the teachers and the other kids. We have had no issues at this school like I have read about in the news regarding the public schools. The school focuses on classical education (reading, writing and arithmetic), and Christian faith. The school seems to stay away from the polarizing agenda driven nonsense that the public school seems to be mandated or be coerced into by activist teachers, staff, and school boards. FSCS feels like a safe place to send our kids. It feels like a safe environment that will let them be kids and still teach effectively to the mind, body, and soul of our kids. The community at the school is fantastic as well. Many of the other parents are volunteering and helping throughout the school year at events, clubs, and sporting events. There are a great deal of clubs and sports that children as young as kindergarten can get involved in. It is truly a rich community where you have a great group of human adults all contributing to helping our children grow into great people and citizens of the United States. I strongly recommend Faithful Shepard Catholic School.Parent Review2mo ago - St Joseph's School
