Rutherford Elementary School

We have three children that went through Lily Lake Elementary. Our youngest is now in 8th grade Stillwater Junior High. While attending an Eagle Award ceremony, we noticed something interesting, a disproportionate number of students receiving awards were from the same elementary school...Lily Lake! We asked on child's teacher, and his comment was, "Let's just say you can tell what kids came from Lily Lake..." I've always felt that way, but it was awesome hearing that come from a teacher at the junior high. Thanks to all the hard working teachers at Lily Lake. My family appreciate all you have done for them.

The teachers are very kind and caring. I love the faith and Catholic aspect of instilling this in all areas of teaching. The parent groups are very clicky and unwelcoming (snooty). Alot of them send their kids here and do not live with Catholic principles themselves or pretend. There are some that do, but a very high percent that do not. The kid groups can be very clicky as well, especially if your child does not start in Kindergarten and comes in at a later grade. They are not the best if you have any child with special needs. Bullying is a HUGE issue and it is hit or miss on who gets consequences or not. Administration is very poor here and very clicky with certain parents and not others. I do not recommend this school. There are much better Catholic schools elsewhere.

Great safe school environment. Disappointing lower level reading program - public schools do a better job. Classroom management needs to improve.
