St Augustine's School

ugh

St. Augustine School is wonderful. My daughter has been attending since kindergarten and is now in the 8th grade. The school has small classrooms which allows students to be more interactive with their instructors. The administration treats the students with care, respect and warmth. The school also is keeping up with the technological developments along with the public schools. At the 8th grade level, my daughter has her own school laptop and is taking two online courses which is definitely a huge plus as she gets ready for HS. It is a great feeling when the principle knows each of the students name and treats them like family. They have strict rules and guidelines that goes with the a Catholic School environment, hence, there is a no nonsense attitude for those students who are rebellious and don't want to comply with classroom rules. The school lacks many of the sports that public schools may have but they make it up with after school programs, loving environment, great teachers and caring administrators. Great school, and hoping it remains strong for may years to come!

SCHOOL STINKS

St. Augustine is an excellent school. They offer a loving and inclusive environment. Every child is welcomed with his/her strengths and weaknesses. Some of the faculty members have been there for decades and are a hallmark in the school. They share the schools values, commitment to the community and to the students. They tailor every lesson to each child's individual needs and work with the parents for the benefit of the child. They are always open to suggestions and are constantly improving the classrooms and providing state-of the art technologies for learning. They are excellent, my children couldn't have succeeded without them.

The school is only OK, there is plenty of room for improvement. There is NO student council, they only offer track as an after curricular sport (No soccer, baseball, etc.), the school doesn't even offer a PTA. The school has potential to be a "great" school but it needs help and a fresh new take on education and enrichment programs (which there are none), The good part is the school is small and the children get a home town feel to there education.
