St. John is amazing. I love the way my children are loved when I can’t be with them. My kids are currently in the early childhood and grade school. We could not be happier to partner with St. John to raise our world changers!

In the Early Education part of the school, the teachers at St. John do not have the ability to handle children with any type of specialty learning needs. No matter what they profess they are willing to do to support or help the child or family, they do not. Some of the "teachers" are not able to work outside of a mold and the administration staff does not follow through with commitments made to families. This happened many times in our experience with St. John Early Education. After following the direction/recommendations given to us by the early education director in determining our child's learning needs, the director suddenly backed out of commitments to help our child and forced my family to move our child to a new school without justifiable reason. When we were asked to leave, it was not a conversation or substantiated with reason/reasons, it was her decision, with no consideration for our child or our family. When asked about documentation or information regarding techniques and ways our child was handled in the classroom, we were informed they do not keep files or records for each child and would not provide us with any other information. They did not cooperate with the public school district or with us. Whether it was due to a lack of ability to help our child or a dislike for our child's delays, St. John was not clear, straightforward, professional, or helpful with conveying this to our family. I would not recommend the Early Education Center of St. John School to any parent who is wanting a school with clear, professional, or constructive communication about what is occurring in the classroom. I would also not recommend this school to a family who is wanting a school that is willing to work with your child to develop his/her social skills, or a school that is willing to make commitments to the parents and children and follow through with those commitments. If your child has no special needs, delays, and fits the model of the student they want, this would be the school for you.

Excellent faith based education. Faculty is exceptionally gifted and truly dedicated to the students. Visit the school and attend an open house, and you'll immediately see and feel that this school is special. The leadership is superb and committed to an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome and supported.

St. John School offers an outstanding balance of excellent academics and faith-based learning. Our children have really thrived in this loving environment, and we feel at home in this award winning school. We have children in the preschool and elementary school, and have been so pleased with both.

St. John Lutheran School is an amazing school. The combination of spiritual growth and a strong academic program makes it a place where my child thrives each day. The teachers are extremely dedicated to their profession. They provide an excellent education while nurturing their students, building their confidence, and strengthening their intelligences. The small class sizes allow for individualized attention and differentiation within the curriculum. All children feel special and gifted. Additionally, St. John has an outstanding arts program. They offer a chance for all students to express their creativity and receive praise for their efforts and accomplishments. The principal of the school knows each student's name and greets all children at the beginning of each day. The welcoming atmosphere is felt throughout the school. Parents are allowed to participate in their children's academic and religious education. Overall, I would highly recommend this school. If you enroll your child at St. John, you will feel a strong parent community within a high quality learning environment that exhibits compassion and encouragement to all children.
