Berclair Elementary School

Best School Ever! Go Here For Better Education!

We have had a wonderful experience at St. Agnes Academy- St. Dominic School. Our son is in his fourth year at the school and our daughter started this year. The sense of community has been a huge blessing to us. It is so comforting to know that our children are loved and cared for physically, mentally and spiritually. The school does a great job of connecting students of different ages and allowing them to learn from and support each other. Also, the student to teacher ratio provides an individualized approach to learning while in a group setting. It is such a unique school setting where we are able to have both our son and daughter on the same campus while catering to their different educational needs. Providing a coed experience and then strategically separating to all boys/all girls at pivotal times is one of the many factors that sets SAA-SDS apart. We love SAA-SDS and are excited to see what the future has to offer and how it is shaping our children into successful and well-rounded individuals.

The school is pretty good as far as Memphis public schools go but there are much better private options available. There is a lot of tension between the traditional and optional students and there is bullying by the traditional students. If you can’t home school or pay for private just make sure you are there as often as possible to keep an eye on how things are done.

As a parent, you want your kids in a safe learning environment. Staff is always seen in the mornings and afternoons too, including the Principal. They are always engaged.Academics is definitely the focus, and it shows in their expectations. High expectations and focus is a good thing!This is why we’ve sent multiple kids to school here. Safety and academics are good…but having fun is important too. Even teachers and Administration dress up, get slimed, and make it fun for kids.If you like clubs and extracurricular activities, this place is for you too!
