I wouldn't be able to recommend this school. The bus frequently goes by our house without stopping, causing my daughter to often miss the bus. We frequently receive bogus letters about her missing too much school-only missed two days in an entire year or less! In addition, they have the students sha
Posted by a parent on 12/12/2016There are so many half days, and they award students that don't deserve it, so much bullying going on that my child is scared to go to school. Life Prep's motto is a lie, "learning and a family environment". The bus drivers hate kids, and the uniform policy is there for decoration, don't forget the
Posted by a parent on 9/3/2016I would not recommend this school unless you are able to be ready to pick your child all the time due to "Snow Days". The administrators assume you are at home during the day (not at work), in order to do this. The school has lost many students-families due to the elimination of 7&8&preschool. I rec
Posted by a parent on 11/11/2014This is our 1st year in St. Paul. We chose CCLA, but were skeptical of the St. Paul school system. We loved CCLA-now called Life Prep. Our kindergartener is reading & writing above her level. I appreciate that homework is given everyday for kindergarteners because that's the reality of school & life
Posted by a parent on 8/7/2014We have three children who attend CCLA and all of them love their teachers and are eager to get back to school after the weekend! Learning is looked at as an adventure, and the teachers go out of their way to make each subject matter interesting. We think it's great that our kids have music and art

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI love Community of Peace Academy. All three of my sons have attended this school, and the attention and care they have received is amazing. The teachers are very experienced, and many of them have been at the school for 10+ years. This school really values relationships and peace. Of course kids have conflicts that come up, but the school teaches them conflict resolution skills to work through it, and when a kid gets in trouble, they are expected to right their wrongs. One of my sons had some behavior issues when he was little, and even though some days he was breaking rules multiple times (like, double digits), the teacher still treated him with kindness and gave him the chance to grow and improve his behaviors. Neither I nor my son ever felt like the teacher was mad or disliked him despite his challenges. The patience, love, and unconditional positive regard is so evident at this school. I also felt like my kids were challenged academically. For example, my middle boy was an early reader, and the teacher provided him with individualized lessons to help him grow at his own speed. I highly recommend this school.Parent Review5y ago - Farnsworth Aerospace Lower

1/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AveragePLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS SCHOOL. Horrible experience there. So upset with the school, principal Nicky Napierala and their special education staffs. The school system and their principal there is a joke. My daughter was not a normal child. Her brain process things slower then normal. Suspending her everyday mean less time for teaching and learnings. She's missed all her IEP class and sessions that was paid for to the school. I felt really bad for my daughter at the time that she need their help the most but they threw her under the bus and ignored her disability. Know wonder why the school had a high suspension rate for disability students. I'm glad I took my daughter out. The school was horrible, students at this school is graded at below level. Find a better school for your little educators, not a school where kifs are falling further behind.Parent Review4y ago
