Great community, terrible teacher turnover. The gem of the school is the strings program but the new principal got rid of that.

This is a school that feels more like a community. My daughter loves going and I feel confident she is in a safe and nurturing environment every day.

I would not recommend this school for several reasons: 1) My daughter has a speech disability, and she has received completely inadequate support. After 5 years at St. Olaf’s, my daughter is in the < 0.1 percentile for speech for kids her age. 2) Nearly every standardized test I’ve seen for my daughters indicates that Intervention is needed. My daughters are in the 21st percentile nationally for math. Despite the small class sizes at St. Olaf’s, this is not a school of educational excellence. 3) Every year there is significant teacher turn-over. This year 6 of the 13 teachers were new. The middle school math teacher left abruptly over the weekend in Oct, and there was no math teacher for over a month. 4) My daughters have experienced frequent bullying by a male classmate with severe behavioral issues who outweighs them by 2X. The school has done nothing to keep them safe. Unfortunately in my case there is another parent involved, otherwise I would've pulled my girls 5 years ago.

Our daughter has attended St. Olaf's for the last 6 years and we've had a wonderful experience. The teachers and staff are excellent. The class sizes are small, which has been a huge benefit for our daughter. Being able to live her faith each day at school is the best. The school has a family feel and is very involved with the community. We know that she's loved and cared for each day and know she's getting an excellent education.

I absolutely love Saint Olaf. The curriculum is great, the staff is caring, kind and amazing. They added some fun clubs/sports this year that my student is really enjoying. They care about their students and their success at school, and the sense of community and involvement at Saint Olaf is wonderful. I'm so glad that I made the decision to send my child here.

My children have been going to school here for 6 years and are socially, academically and emotionally above their public school peers. I would highly recommend!

My 2 sons attend this school and we have had a wonderful experience. You don’t just get small class sizes and the many known private school benefits of strong academics, individualized care, and higher test scores. You immediately become part of a community of parents, grand parents, and church members. Your kids are surrounded by a host of people all invested in helping them become their best self, mentally, spiritually, and physically. Who doesn’t want their child surrounded by the love, care, and safety of multiple adult mentors who really know your child! Thank you Saint Olaf!

I have 3 children in this school and love it. The school has small class sizes with quality teachers. My children are not only taught but know they are loved and safe. I would recommend this school to anyone!
