St. Leo the Great School Reviews

 
This is our family's first year at St Leo's and we are so pleased with the school, staff, faculty and other families. There are some adjustments to be made moving to a small school with less funding (the kids complained a little about the small play ground area) but all in all we feel that they are receiving the care and attention they need to grow emotionally and scholastically without the 'bullies' and bureaucracy that they experienced in the public school system.

A National Blue Ribbion School that has a wonderful community that focuses on the whole student. Religion and Spanish are part of the core curriculum. Parent participation and engagement is the norm.

My son is in the preschool here and he absolutely loves it! It's his first experience with school/daycare of any sort and he took to it with no hesitation. I think a lot of it has to do with the kindness and caring shown by the teachers. Not to mention, they just have a lot of fun and really learn through play as opposed to enforcing a rigid academic program. We really like the school.

This school is absolutely wonderful! The teacher's are well educated and well informed. They respect the students' differences and bring out the best in them. Administration is cooperative and the front office staff is always cheerful and helpful. Both my children attended St. Leo's from preschool to grade 8. They were well prepared for high school!

This is the best elementary/middle school in the area! Selected as a 2006 'Blue Ribbon School' by the US Dept. of Education this year, it is known for its consistent high standards of excellence in the spiritual, academic, and technological preparation of children in grades PreK-8. The principal is top-notch as are the teachers. We wouldn't send our children anywhere else!

The staff at St. Leo's is good but not great. he real problem is the administration. The answer to everything is get a tutor. If the teachers are doing their job then they would not need a tutor. The school is poorly run and the teachers reflect that. For the most part this school could turn around quickly if they replaced the administration.

Education is average to good. The main issue with the school is the Principal, Mrs. Drews, and the Administrative staff. They are not friendly, nor working well with parents. They treat parents like children --> one way communications. Enrollment is at the lowest point. Unless the school staff starts showing attention and care to students, the school will not improve. Facilities are old and poor. The Extended Day Care program does not provide enrichment program to students, as everyone congregates at the school gym with basketball hoops and a small climbing wall. The school gym is also used as the cafeteria at lunch time. From former parents.

Teaching,Administration, and Maintenance staff are outstanding. They are thorough and informative. The atmosphere is challenging! I like the way the teachers take control and run the classes. My kids are in 3rd and 6th grades. The learning environment is filled with love and positive feedback. My kids feel very secure and happy here. I wish St. Leos went to 12th grade. The parent support with school activities is also excellent. I have a hard time getting my kids to leave the extended day program because they enjoy it so much. My gratitude goes out to the Principal and staff!
