St. Thomas the Apostle School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2008-11-11 “My child has been in attendance at this school for the past 6 years. I must say that just because you pay for something and it is a catholic does not mean that you are receiving the best. By all means STA has high standards and can educate children who are self motivated. For those children that are just average and might need the extra push, your child will get loss if you are not paying attention. With large class sizes and for some teachers with no creativity to change lessons just a bit year after year, one can become frustrated. The new administration appears to be trying to take control of previous issues, but if you are looking for a more focused, creative, individualized education you might look elsewhere. Not a great starter school for lower grades, but your child might do better for entering in 5th or 6th grade.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2008-11-11 “New administration is trying to turn things around however if your child needs a push and is not self-motivated, this is not the school for you. Its very hard to have individualized attention and children who might not understand concepts, will become lost. I suggest entering STA in the upper grades, but to mold a younger child I would possibly look elsewhere. STA might be running on fumes and reputation right now so just maybe the truth will not come out before things start to change. My child has attended here for 4 years. This school has a very 'un-diverse' student body too. Nevertheless, considering alternatives in the neighborhood, this school might not be so bad. Proceed with caution!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-05-01 “My child has attended STA for 3 years. The overall education currently is very good, especially for strong learners. Special needs children (at both ends of the spectrum) may find themselves frustrated & bored. With a classroom size of 36 and greater, it's difficult to offer focused programs and individual attention. There is a lot of homework issued, especially in the middle school. The students will be prepared to handle the workload of most high schools. The teaching philosophy is very traditional and minimal focus on individual creativity. Parent community is school's strongest suit & volunteer hours spent at the school is very high. Classroom facilties are small & dated. Good catholic school choice but a higher quality education may be had at other private institutions.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2008-03-08 “The class sizes are way too big (close to 36 even though diocesan max is 35). If you need your child to learn in a smaller envionment, this is not the school for you.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2007-10-21 “This school is great, the children and practice their Catholic faith and are kind and welcoming. Sister Patricia is a very popular principal and does a great job running the school. The parents make every event exceptional.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-06-01 “this school has a great student to teacher ratio, they emphasize academics & religion first.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-03-16 “The wonderful staff and teachers at STA made our registration and transition into the school extremely easy and pleasant. We were moving from out of state and in the middle of the school year. Everyone was friendly and helpful and we felt welcome and taken care of from the very first contact. Both of our girls (Kindergarten and 2nd Grade) have gone to school for two weeks now and are very happy. Their teachers and classmates go out of their way to make them welcome. Parent involvement is very high and everybody really cares about the children and their education.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-01-05 “This is my daughter's second year at STA, and I've been very impressed. The academic expectations are quite high, but there's also time for fun. She really enjoys school. We have been happy with her teachers. Sister Patricia is a great and caring principal. STA has a well-rounded curriculum that includes art, music, Spanish, physical education and library during the school day with high-quality teachers . I am also very pleased with the work the school does on health issues (diet, exercise, sun protection, classes with the school counselor offered on topics like friendship, anger mgmt., etc.) and the cafeteria does a great job with lunches (yes, I've eaten them myself!) There's a wide variety of after-school activities and sports offered. STA has an amazing level of parent involvement. The school does a great job balancing religion, academics, and other aspects of the students' lives.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-09-23 “The good thing about STA is the curriculum toward excellence and the teaching staff along with the administration. Sister Patricia really cares about our kids and wants them to be role models as good citizens as well as christians. We are of course Catholic first, but all faiths are welcome. St Thomas has track, girls/boys basketball, flag football, baseball, softball,and volleyball. From drama classes to latin classes, St Thomas offers it as well as molding our children for academic excellence. STA Rocks! Blue Ribbin Award winner 2006! Yeah!”
