Our grandson’s experience here was nothing but stellar. Mrs Corcoran is an awesome teacher! So full of love and support for her kindergarten class. My daughter and son in law are very pleased with the progress that has my grandson has made. We highly recommend this school.

Kept my child at this school way too long unfortunately. A few decent teachers but they seem to only last there a couple yrs. The rest are terrible. They're constantly yelling at the kids, treat them like garbage unless you're the few select families. Those kids are treated like gold. My child got bullied, called racial slurs, had her lunch stolen several times and not one thing happened to the bully. My child makes 1 mistake in 9 years of being there and is treated like she's murdered someone. This catholic school is a complete joke. Forget about being treated with respect by the monsignor. I have never been so disgusted in my entire life with how my family was treated by this so called man of God and leader of the church. I wouldn't recommend anyone send their children to this school unless you want them to be treated horribly. There's 2 other much better schools to send your kids to in Drexel Hill.

I wonder if anyone understands what went on in this horrible school !! The nuns and priests would have been in the penitentiary

My kids currently attend SAS and I am quite happy with the school except for the music program. My oldest son has gotten honors and my youngest is developing quite well. Based on feedback from other mom's across the district, Saint Andrew is solid. The parent association is strong and the parents are very involved. There have been incidents and, from my perspective, each was handled quickly and appropriately.

As a previous Alum and parent to children who currently attend, I can't ask for a better school. Everyone is very friendly, there is such strong parent involvement, and teachers are very communicative and responsive to inquiries. It has so much more to offer then when I went there and I think that is fantastic. It shows that they continue to grow and change with the times. I enjoy watching my kids build their friendships with their classmates, as well as we with other parents. Plus you can't beat their social functions/fundraisers! Lastly, I love how the Pastor is all about growing the school and bringing the community together. He is definitely from a different/younger generation and is so much more approachable and engaging than previous ones. Also you can't help love his dog!

CONTINUED REVIEW: Please, know what you're about to put your child through and pick a different school. If you're in this parish you're in the same public school system as my sisters and its fantastic! Consider a different option. I already love my unborn children too much to send them to any Catholic gradeschool, especially St. Andrew's school. -Submitted by alum

CONTINUED REVIEW: This school was downright terrible! I graduated from this school in 2010 and have vowed to not let another person enter that school without knowing exactly what they are getting into. I have a large family, all raised in a Catholic setting, all five of my younger sister had to transfer out of the school due to bullying, lack of teacher ability, and many more. I'll start with bullying, yes all children have experienced bullies, unless of course they are the bully, but this is different. I'll give an example of what my sister had to endure; she went to the bathroom, four girls, three who she thought to be her friend and one known bully, followed her in there. She went into a stall and they proceeded to talk about how weird, disgusting and unusual she was.

School was not good for my child. Teacher yelled most of the time. Seemed like they were not trained. More emphasis on religion than academics. My child learned more at home than in the classroom. Parent association was very active, but if you are not a part of the parish, then forget about it. School made you feel like an outsider paying higher tuition and getting treated less than favorable to others that are associated with the church.
