Richardson High School

Really good, used to go to spring creek (currently go to MST and hate it and want to go back to SCE) teachers are great, huge PTA, and just love it.

The idea of a classical education is outstanding, and much needed. Unfortunately, St. Paul does not have the leadership or the quality of faculty to pull it off in a manner that benefits the children. Teachers are leaving, many of their top students are exiting, and the overall education is not worth paying for. Sadly, the focus is on petty discipline of the students as a way to distract from the failures of the teachers and overall environment. At the end of this past year, they began having daily mass from 8am-9am, and tried to sell it to the parents as a form of spiritual enhancement. In reality, it appears to be a coverup of the fact that they don't have the resources to offer quality academics, hence the offering of more mass. If you interview at this school and are considering it as an option for your child, get everything in writing from the principal. In our interview (we were there one year), I was told there was an honors math teacher and program, which was very important since my daughter came from a STEM school. It wasn't until November when I found out that the honors math teacher had left over the prior summer. I found out when my daughter told me she was "assembling Legos" when I asked her how her math tutoring went on a particular day after I picked her up from school--the school never informed me, and when I reached out to the principal about the honors math program my email was ignored and I never received a reply. Avoid this school until it is cleaned up and the current "leadership" is replaced. If you go to their current Facebook page, you will see how many new teachers are coming in for next year due to extensive turnover. Sadly, until the current Head of School/Principal is replaced there will still be poor decisions made regarding the program at the school, in my opinion. Many blessings to all.
