i went here grades preschool to 5th before switching because of how terrible this place was. im currently in 8th grade and think switching was the best decision i could ever have made. this school opened a dcf case on us because of me missing school for about 3 days after we had told them i was sick and that we'd have a doctor's note in the next day. that dcf case is still open to this day, all because i got the flu and missed school. there's also a severe bullying problem here, and i know at least three people who have also gone here before who could back that up, yet the school does nothing about it. the academics are okay, but if you're having trouble most teachers will put in no effort to help. this school also does not make any attempt to accondomate to those who need it, such as people with learning differences. honestly, this school is just a terrible environment for kids. i was constantly extremely anxious and deppressed when attending this school, and have been so much happier after leaving. the lunches here also constantly made me and others sick. lots of the food i was given was also expired, not cooked properly, or had things such as hair in it. the school is overly strict with kids and leaves no room for individuality. Lastly, the staff has their favorites and makes no effort into hiding it, and let me tell you i was not a favorite and many of the teachers constantly made me feel terrible about myself. leaving this school has allowed me to grow as a person, expand my social skills, and just be overall happier. dont send your children here.

Awesome school and awesome staff! My favorite part of the day was eating the delicious hot lunch, and spending time with my friends. The lunch ladies are also very nice! :D I have heard that they changed their lunch plan, but at least when I went there it was top notch! So much better than these soggy chicken patties they feed me in highschool.

This is a great school that helps build strong character in its students. I had a few issues with some teachers, but nothing major. Overall I rate 10/10. Also great principle!

Excellent school and administration. The children are well prepared for high school and beyond with this great foundation.

Horrible experience for my child and for myself as a parent. This school has many prejudice teachers that really should retire, especially in the 4th grade..The principal was very rude, sarcastic and just as prejudice as some of the teachers. Taking to Fr. Joe was no help at all...This school should be investigated .

Ten years ago my step-son has graduated St. Stanislaus School and now, again, I find myself as a mom of an 8th grader. My oldest daughter will be followed by her sister in 5 years. My husband and I have invested 15 years in this school not because we have too much money, but because of the results, we see in our children. They grow, flourish and thrive being nurtured and challenged. Is this school without the flaws? Of course not! There is no such thing as a perfect school, but it is pretty close.

Both of my children go to St. Stans. It's the best school in our area!

Recently, my son graduated from the school. My son had a academic history of average. He really struggles in content rich subjects. The teachers cared about his progress. They helped change his thinking. He was challenged in a good way. Next year in high school he is taking all honors courses at a private school. His core values are very strong. My son has goals for himself. He pushes himself to do better. He was not always that way. I noticed a huge change in him when switched from another catholic school to this one when he was in fourth grade. Yes, it take some getting used to but in the end it was worth it in the end. On my son's day of graduation, my son hugged me and thanked me for sending him to St. Stanislaus. He was aware of the great change he had made while being at St. Stanislaus. He acknowledged he was a better student and person for simply being there. He said he would not have gotten it at his old school in Springfield. This speaks volumes about the school. The principals were great. The teachers were great. The students were diverse but great to be with.

This school provides an environment for children to grow into their potential. Respect and integrity are modeled by teachers and staff, students are expected to demonstrate the same. Graduates of St. Stan's are the honors students in high school who go on to reflect the school in a very postivie light. Our children are third generation students at this school and we have the opportunity to send our children to any private school in this region. We would choose St. Stan's again without any hesitation,
