If your child has learning differences, even if they’re highly intelligent/gifted, look elsewhere. The teachers at this school don’t have the tools to work with kids who don’t fit the traditional schooling mold. This isn’t entirely their fault, as they aren’t geared towards dynamic teaching methods, but if you have a child who needs a lot of stimulation, might have ADHD or is hyper-aware, they will be bored senseless here along with being singled out, and you’ll be paying a lot of money for those privileges. Now, if your child does well in a highly structured, traditional class environment, this will be a good school for them.

St. Anne School goes above and beyond with educating the whole child!

My child is new to this school and had a great year. My child's favorite classes were Science and Spanish - both teachers are amazing and care about their students. My child felt accepted by the entire student body. St Anne is a great school and we are very happy with our choice.

St. Anne has been a gift to our community since I have lived here- almost 30 years. Even before I had kids of my own, I knew how respected and loved this school was to its families, parish, and just everyone here. We have an elementary and middle school student, and they have been at SAS since they were 3. We love it, they are excelling, and their confidence is leaps and bounds above kids I know in other schools in the area. Very happy.

Very glad our family left this school. What we hoped would be a great experience ended in many years . Although she majority of the middle school teachers were great, the Spanish teacher bullied our child and many more. I was appalled to learn that this behavior had been reported by numerous parents year after year and nothing down about it. My child was made to feel like they were dumb and went from a very happy school loving student to depressed and crying almost daily. My child had very close relationship with God prior to entering this school but I saw that dwindle as time went on here. Common sense is not utilized when it comes to discipline and ridicule we’re tactics we witnessed the Spanish, and PE teacher use. Social studies teacher was amazing, and made learning fun as well as the math, and English teacher .

Waste of money - students are academically behind. More than half of the KG isn’t reading. This will be our last year.

St Anne is an excellent school. They are the only accredited private school we found in the area. The children are treated as family by teachers and staff. Each student is known and acknowledged by all the staff. They really make you feel welcome and special at the school. While homework is given at all grade levels, it really prepares them as they advance thru the years to be more responsible and organized. The teachers recognize when students need more attention or need more challenging. They are more than willing to work with parents and help if a child is struggling in any aspect or needs additional challenges (I have one of each). They are flexible and helpful where it's needed. You don't have to be Catholic to attend here and all faiths are welcomed which is great. They get exposed to religion at school which is not seen in the public setting. They also get more attention being small class sizes. They teach the children compassion and integrity thru the work they do for the community and by having the older children work with the younger ones as mentors. Their preschool is top notch. When my daughter transitioned here from another preschool, her learning skyrocketed and the structure was a very good influence and experience for her. They start learning Spanish in preschool all the way thru middle school. Their middle school is also top notch with excellent teachers. They really prepare them to be organized and prepared for their classes. They all really work well together and the teachers even help kids who maybe don't get as much help at home. This place is a wonderful place for a child to grow with. They will be very prepared academically when it comes to transitioning to high school with the habits they instill starting in the early years all the way thru middle school. It is a process you can trust. Some of the work might seem challenging, but it really prepares them for what is to come as they get older.

Our son and daughter are so happy- this school has boosted their confidence in ways we never imagined possible. We are thrilled with our decision to switch from public school to St. Anne!

We have a son and a daughter at St. Anne. We love it for so many reasons- but especially for how much the teachers really do love these kids! Great place and wonderful part of our community.

Wonderful school for all faiths. Emphasis is on the child as a whole.

St. Anne has been a part of the Bristol community since 1949. We have extremely low teacher turnover, a commitment to ALL students and a genuine love for each of our families. Once a family is part of St. Anne, they are part of St. Anne forever. Our curriculum is rigorous but individualized. We do not have to “teach to the test,” so our faculty has the flexibility to address individual needs, while also creating a culture where learning is fun! We want our students to be hands on and engaged. Faith is at the core of what we do every day. Over half of our students are of non-Catholic denominations, and we welcome ALL faiths. We want our students to be confident, capable, happy, effective adults and members of society.

There is little consistency in discipline. When children are bullied nothing is done to stop the bullying.

I am no one of influence nor wealth and we love this school! It has a loving atmosphere and cares about the education and wellbeing of all the children.

Teachers and Parent's are VERY cliquish there. The more influence (and Money) you have in town the better you will be treated if not, you will feel unwanted, ignored and not included. My advice; there are better schools in the area to attend.

If you have a problem with the safety of your child even from a teacher or volunteer, administration will turn a deaf ear!

If you are wealthy and well connected, your wish is their command! If you are not, you must suffer in silence, for you will not be heard.

This is an excellent school with perfect people all around. I haven't seen a more professional yet warm and caring environment anywhere else. I am sure parents will be happy knowing their child is a part of this school. Just take a tour and you will start believing what I am saying here.
