Community Reviews
I really hate this school and in the worst I’ve ever gone to. It is very cliquey and nobody will talk to you epically if they’re considered “popular”. The teachers bearly teach, they just put up slideshows and give packets and put no effort into actually making the class interested in the topic or l
Posted by a student on 5/25/2025I'm content. Like any school, there are some amazing teachers and some ordinary teachers. The principal has been very fair with discipline issues. The communication is fabulous. I'm impressed with the commitment to technology. My daughters math and science teachers are google teachers!
Posted by a parent on 7/6/2018I'm impressed with the level of parent contact and communication at middle school! Wow! Our child is enthused about school and we have really noticed a high level of student engagement and involvement here. Would happily recommend Central to anyone.
Posted by a parent on 9/17/2014I was surprised to see the negative reviews but it looks like many of them are from a while back. My family's experience would be similar to the other review from February 2013. The principal has done some great positive outreach and I think the IB program gives a very positive focus for the school.
Posted by a parent on 2/28/2014We're very happy with central. Some great teachers and a strong focus on character development.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe loved this school. Your children will gain knowledge and learn more things than you would think your pre-k aged children could learn at that age. Garden of Hope is a great Montessori school and highly recommend it for anyone looking for an amazing school and community in the White Bear Lake area!Parent Review6y ago - Liberty Classical Academy

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe found Liberty when searching for a Christian education for our kids. We attended one of their open houses and were blown away! The memorization and manners of the kids in Kindergarten and up is very impressive. We have been at Liberty for four years and have kids at their lower school and every year we have been impressed by the teachers attention to each student, the academics and public speaking skills they learn and expand upon every year, but most importantly we feel it is preparing our kids to use critical thinking skills, discern right from wrong and prepare them to be a light in in this world. We love Liberty!Parent Review4mo ago - St Pius X School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy children's experience in middle school has been amazing. One is gifted and the other struggles in school. Both have been taught how to succeed and flourish. It is not without its typical middle school mischief but it's nothing like what family and friends are experiencing at public school and even at another private school across town!Parent Review6mo ago - Normandy Park Education Center

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI LOVE this school. Both my daughters attended. My oldest is moving on to kindergarten while my youngest will have another year here. She does so well here! The teachers go out of there way to help even on days that she has meltdowns and refuses to attend school. My daughter had two different classes with two different teachers, and one of her teachers left her current class to help out when my daughter was having a hard time. It's amazing how these teachers go above and beyond. They are all mindful and calm, even when the kids are not.Parent Review8y ago
