West Elementary School

Both of my children love Miss Lorie and the staff. I love that my kids are in a true Montessori environment whether in the classroom or exploring nature. The kids get plenty of active play time so that they can be at their best when it is time to learn. The classrooms are so alive and inviting.

I want to share my honest experience with St. Peter’s School in hopes it will help other parents make informed decisions.First, my daughter was told by her 5th-grade teacher to change her shorts because they were considered “too short.” However, the shorts were 4 inches in length and entirely appropriate for school. I had to go to the school and bring her a new pair of bottoms, which I felt was unnecessary and unfair. Some of the girls didn’t even have appropriate length shorts.Second, the quality of the school lunches is concerning. After eating a sloppy joe at school, my daughter came home sick and ended up with a stomach bug that kept her out for a week. She told me the sloppy joes were what made her feel ill. A friend of mine who works in the cafeteria mentioned that the ground beef they use sometimes comes from a can or a bag, which raises concerns about food safety and nutrition.Another issue is the lack of diversity at the school. There are very few Black, Hispanic, or Asian students and teachers. In today’s society, diversity and representation are important, and it’s disappointing to see such limited inclusiveness at St. Peter’s.While the academics at the school are decent, the way the school presents itself to the public does not fully reflect what actually happens behind the scenes. I encourage other parents to ask questions and look deeper before enrolling their children here.Please consider this carefully when choosing a school for your child.

This is a newly remodeled facility that looks great, is clean, smells good, and is very organized. The children receive their very own curriculum, which excites them and makes them feel like their already in "Big Boy and Big Girl" school! There is plenty of toys and activities, and is a fun place for kids to learn and to have fun! The owners take pride in the safety of the children, giving parents "Peace of Mind" while they are at work. Little Rascals Playhouse and Preschool offers affordable rates, considering the exceptional service they provide! Congratulations on your continuous efforts and for a job well done!!
