Big Woods Elementary School

A place my kids can feel safe.

Our son was a transfer student from another school district in the middle of the school year. The school was able to quickly accommodate our son and he started loving this school from the day 1 of his joining. The staff is really good, the principal does a great job and the teachers are very effective and impactful in student’s learning and progress. Overall, our experience was great! This school and the overall district receives the lowest funding across all of the school districts here in Minnesota and in spite of that, the activities that this primary school manages to pull is beyond someone's expectation. We wish Albertville Primary School a great success as our son heads to Saint Michael Elementary for his 1st grade this fall and look forward to our 3 year old daughter joining Albertville Primary School’s pre-school program starting this fall.

This is an academically challenging and faith-based school at which my children are flourishing! The ability for the teachers to work with children based on their aptitude even in the younger grades is really appealing to me. My son is challenged in advanced math and my daughter is in an enrichment program which is allowing her to develop some of her academic strengths in a very creative environment. Most importantly, Christ is the center of everything at St. Michael School.

Great! This district promotes accountability and responsibility, which results in children with integrity and good character. District always has high scores when compared against rest of state and has been on the College AP honor roll list for the last few years. Only a handful of districts in MN can make that claim!
