My child attended elementary and middle at St Peter & Paul. Upon entering high school, I could not believe the lack of preparation for the level of expectation from the high school. I soon responded that his prior school experiences did not adequately prepare him to meet the level of rigor expected from the students. The nightly work load was absolutely insane. I myself, having Masters in Education, would struggle with the work right along side him until 1am some nights! It was all lecture and reading from textbooks. Textbooks that do not even supply! The tuition for the "new building " was ridiculous with SO many extra fees, needed supplies that were mandatory and not supplied! I am just absolutely appalled with the experience and the lack of care by the adults who are supposed to support kids not tear them down. Ultimately, we paid $16,000 for my son to be tortured and then told with his academics that it was "bad for business". So, you're essentially paying for a brand or title and not an enjoyable, supportive, student centered school experience. P.S. there's no accountability for the staff or administration so don't bother advocating for your child.

My daughter just finished her freshman year at Sts. Peter and Paul High School, and she had a great year. This school has a wonderful family atmosphere and works on creating a cohesive service oriented community. The academics are college prep and challenging. The teachers are fair and genuinely care about the students. In addition to the commitment of the teachers, what has most impressed me about he school is the students. They are involved, happy, motivated and honestly just great kids. The graduates go on to great colleges. For a small school there are an amazing number of sports teams that do very well and many other activities. All in all we are extremely happy with our choice of St. Peter and Paul High School.
