Pacelli Catholic Middle School

I love Jefferson Elementary! It is a wonderful neighborhood school in Stevens Point! The staff is caring and compassionate. Their family activities are the best!

This school is absolutely wonderful. We have attended Madison the past 7 years and our experience has been nothing short of amazing. The staff is kind, nurturing, flexible and beyond compassionate with all students. These educators truly love your child and go above and beyond to ensure their educational experience is a success. As well, the school has a ton of diversity and it's been heartwarming to see kid embrace it and learn from one another as they grow each year. Not to mention how accepting the staff is and how they ensure ALL kids feel safe and welcomed.

Washington Elementary lacks discipline and it caused a safety issue for my child. Another student had been causing issues for 3 years straight by using vulgar language and screaming at both teachers and students, throwing chairs, punching doors and lockers, and breaking glass. It was addressed with the school multiple times by multiple parents and it seemed like nothing changed. This student was not a special needs student and was fully aware of her actions. According to the school, they were taking “appropriate action”. The last straw for our family was when 2 incidents took place within 7 days where my child was the victim of this violence. My child, who generally loves school, was fearful to go to school. A police report was filed and the school district’s resource officer was supposed to contact me but NEVER did. I had enough and pulled my child from this school and this school district before my child ended up getting seriously hurt. If this school and the district don’t get discipline and safety under control, they could be facing seriously legal action down the road if this violent behavior continues to happen.

When I look over the railing (to the gym) and see the children at play, I think how blessed they are to attend St. Paul Lutheran School. We were fortunate enough to have two of our grandchildren attend St.P. (graduating in l997 & 98) We enjoyed being part of the St.P.school family. Today, thanks to an excellent start at St.P.,they are sucessful Christian men. Andy is a civil engineer in Montana. Matt will start his residency in May 2012, as a family practice physician. We pray that St.P. will continue to grow & provide this most important Christian start for years to come. Harold & Lois

I have had the opportunity to work at Pacelli High School (as a substitute teacher) in a variety of classes and with a variety of students. With over thirty years of teaching experience in public education I was simply amazed with the teaching and learning environment Pacelli has to offer. In every class the students are respectful and are on task. There are systems in place for those students that struggle and teachers are always willing to help those that need assistance as well as motivate students to learn. Personal accountability for behavior and academic success are emphasized. There are no bells and students report to class on time, tardiness does not seem to be an issue. Student involvement in sports, community service and religious worship are all wonderful positive attributes of this school. The staff goes above and beyond to provide opportunities for each student to grow, learn and thrive. I also want to acknowledge the administrative staff and the principal of Pacelli High School for their leadership and support.
