Whereas the teachers are competent, the administration is far from it. Support for children is minimal and the student support system is a sham. They prioritize the needs of wealthy benefactors above all else without a thought of fairness. They do not put the needs of the student first and alcohol and drug abuse is rampant. The lack of diversity is striking and disappointing.

Our daughter started in 8th grade and will be starting her sophomore year this fall. We have been very happy with the overall experience at St. Andrew's. Our daughter likes the small class sizes and accessibility of the teachers. She's quite focused on academics and really enjoys the advanced course work. She also enjoys playing sports and the incredible studio art classroom. It has been a great fit for our family.

I do not have a child attending here but my review is regarding their admission process. If you are thinking of applying your child in the Upper school, all they need is a high tests score on their entrance exam to get in. Case in point, we are a multicultural family with Christian values and a well rounded above average student. We applied our student here believing that it would be a great fit with their supposedly inclusive and diverse campus . We also liked the reviews claiming that the school is big in supporting their students in pursuing various interests . Alas, my child’s application was rejected because of her/his average test scores. Everything else was overlooked and we felt that we wasted our time and money applying here.Also. they have problems retaining quality teachers and faculty members, which is an indication of poor administration and management. Overall, it’s a blessing in disguise that my child was not accepted in this school. It’s a very white community with an extreme “woke” mentality that doesn’t align with our beliefs and values.
