Exemplary school, until Mrs. Tina Ellefson took the role of administrator. School morale as well as employee and parent morale has went way down since she came into the role of Principal. Numerous staff are leaving as well as students, and parents are not too happy with her "leadership" or lack of. Hopefully the Milwaukee Archdiocese can see she is liability to the public relations of this school and ask her to step down as an administrator. She is biased and discriminatory towards the male gender.

I would strongly consider doing your research on this school. The current administrator and I use that term loosely has ZERO EXPERIENCE with children above 6th grade. She also is biased towards girls and you will be guilty even after proven innocent. Don't make the same mistake we did and end up paying in the long run for the damage this administrator will do to your child's mental and emotional well being. And don't forget Father Will, who will literally stutter and stammer with the Prinicpal when there is an issue and both have ZERO clue on what goes on with preteens/teens nowadays. From Preschool to 6th grade NEVER an issue, then when Tina Ellefson came on the scene as the "Administrator " the whole morale and dynamics of this amazing school have gone way down hill. Beware!

I Just removed 2 of my children from SKDS ... the have disenfranchised parents in the decision making process regarding safe return to class. They have a COVID committee that makes rules that only one member has children enrolled in the school.... They force the child to watch leftist CNN 10 news daily and treat parents as non existent entities that should have no say in the operation of the school... I would no longer support such an incompetent organization

Best school in area! Teachers are passionate about the children and instilling morals and values! Way better than our local public school and definitely worth the money.

Love it, Love it, Love it! My daughter loves this school! The education and teachers are wonderful!!! High parental involvement is encouraged here which definately rubs off on the academic success and well-being of the students. We have given up having the latest material goods to send our child here (and another one next year) but it's well worth it! In 20 years it doesn't matter if we had the latest and greatest things, the superb education, religious values and experiences the children and families have here are well worth it! Try this school you and your child will love it! It everything a child's school experiences should be.
