St Stephen Protomartyr School

Overall we found this school to be just okay. The related arts offerings left a lot to be desired - art class was mostly coloring sheets, PE class was just tag and sometimes they "watched a yoga video on YouTube" according to my kids, music class was non-existent. I felt like my children's academic needs weren't being met and they did A TON of screen time during school. A lot of teacher turn over and inexperienced teachers.We stayed for two years and eventually transferred my children to a different school. We are much happier at our neighborhood SLPS school.

As a former teacher I know student safety and staff safety is not a priority. In the last couple years the staff as turned over as new admin took over.

I have had 2 kids that score beyond grade level. My child loves learning new things and is a leader. He is aware he makes a chose everyday to be great. This school the teachers and principle has failed him. They will not provide individual assistance for your child if they are above and communication is very poor. There is only one reason to chose this school and it's for Mrs. Butler kindergarten class. If you care about your student just don't do it they will become simply a number.

My children have totally blossomed at Betty Wheeler CJA (formerly known as Kennard CJA). We transferred from another school and have been blown away. Many teachers have been working there for more than 5-10 years. There is a dedicated staff, great PTO, and great principal. There's many related arts options (drama, Spanish, Chess, art, music, PE, library). The playground has great mature tree cover. Beautiful building in a lovely neighborhood. We love Betty Wheeler!!

If you can have your child go somewhere else. Kids get bullied and the school doesn’t do anything about it. My stepson gets bullied everyday and the school never intervenes and they don’t even try to teach the kids anything. Good luck getting a teacher that actually has a teaching certification as well.
