Lutheran Academy

My son spent preschool through 5th grade at this school. They do their best and overall the staff does a decent job. They need to get better about scheduling. You wouldn't find out about days off until the last minute. It was hit and miss with the teachers. My son had a couple good ones, a great one, an unbelievably awful one and a few that were mediocre at best. He did learn a lot. One major issue is communication. In 6 grades and 9 teachers only 3 really were open to communication and I am one to use email and visits to help with the process. Many times I would reach out with minimal to no response.

Very helpful and friendly teachers and staff. They go out of their way for their students.

St. Paul's is certainly an "absolute diamond". If you live in Greenridge, welcome to your safe haven. Otherwise, prepare for judgement and a torturous experience for your children during the critical development years of their lives. The teaching staff is comprised of a few competent teachers, but prepare for a majority of teachers to have qualified for the position solely because of a fortunate last name. The facilities may have been acceptable during the early 1900s, but renovations consisting of a few paint jobs will not allow you to believe that they are acceptable today. The school's principal is not interested in your child's education or emotional well-being, but she will be happy to accommodate you if you have political powers that may benefit her career. If you have money to waste on an education that is no better than any in the area (public or private), and you want your child to develop character by being placed into a hostile environment (assuming you live outside of Greenridge, of course), then send your child to St. Paul's School.

Lousy. It's gone downhill over the past few years.
