I lived in Hilton my entire life and attended St. Paul's VBS programs growing up. I joined the church as an adult and felt extremely blessed when I was financially able to send my children to this school. What a huge, heartbreaking disappointment. My children were not welcomed there by most of the other children, they were harassed and bullied, and the students who were favored (came from families with money) by the "head teacher" were given a pass to continue the behavior. When I met with the principal on multiple occasions, he didn't seem to have the time nor the inclination to do anything, just empty words and a lack of compassion. Between the two of them, they should be ashamed of their lies and their desire to money before children. If Paul the disciple saw what was going on at this "Christian" school, he would write a letter to them.

I have been a member of St Paul since I was baptized there 38 years ago. My ENTIRE family including extended family are/were also members here. I chose to send my son here for school, and it was the worst mistake I could have made for him. Very cold and unwelcoming place. We are extremely disappointed in the lack of knowledge from his “teacher” (babysitter) all the way to the principal. The lack of diversity and the bullying/lying that come directly from the “teachers” was alarming and BEYOND unprofessional. Disappointed is an under statement.

My son is in the 5th grade at this school. I know that the building is clean and safe. With the limited resources they have, I believe the staff are trying their best but it's been a very lonely experience for my son. We are not members of the church so our experience has been from an outsiders point of view. I spend most days worrying about the bullying and the way the other kids isolate my child. Just because the school is located in a church it does not protect your child from all of the bad stuff that goes on in public school. I'm not sure why we continue at this school except for fear of the unknown.

St Paul has and is providing my children with the highest standard of education and providing a sound christian faith that will last a lifetime. Growing up I noticed that all my friends students from St Paul were heads above the rest of us in high school, both academically and personally. It was then that I decided that I would send my children to St Paul. Today my two oldest are in a public high school. Both of my sons have received high honor roll with distinction while taking advanced classes (AP) for the last 2 and 3 years. Teachers have told us that they are a pleasure to have in class because they are hard workers and they encourage others to work hard also. Both the boys play varsity and junior varsity sports and are very popular in school. In fact my son that is a junior received student of the month.This is the evidence for me that St Paul gives the students valuable tools that will help them succeed in life. Also it's not hard to transition from a small private school to a public school because of the confidence and faith that is instilled in each child. I have no doubt that my children will be successful in life because of what they have received from St Paul.

St. Paul has provided my children with the highest quality education in a safe, family-oriented school setting; a place where family is welcome and encouraged, where teachers go above and beyond standard lessons during the typical school day because they are called and compelled to do so, a place where values, character-building and respect are integral to all lessons, and a place where I know my children are learning in a manner consistent with what we are working to instill at home. Because of the partnership between school and home, my children are well-grounded in their faith and are supported and nurtured in academic studies as well as in extracurricular activities (including athletics and individual music lessons). If you are looking for a school where your child will be prepared for anything that life may bring, a place where they will want to go back to visit, and a place where lifelong friendships will grow, then St. Paul is the place for you and your family!

I attended St. Paul's as a child, and now my children are enrolled. I loved it then, and my children love it now. I really can't say enough about the techers and faculty at this school. They put in a lot of hard work, and are very dedicated to each child. I would recommend it to anyone who's looking for a quality education that encourages generosity, community involvement, tolerance, and really focuses on your child being the best that they can be. My daughter attended a good school before we moved back to the Rochester area, but St. Paul is a much better school by far!

St. Paul is a wonderful school with high academic standards that encourage kids to do their best and realize their full potential. Classes are small and individual attention is available whenever needed. We have found the teachers and staff to be dedicated to the children and the environment to be very warm and caring. The students treat not only the teachers with respect but also each other. The high level of parental involvement at the school means you not only know your children's friends, but their friends' families, as well. St. Paul is a great place for children to learn and grow in a caring, safe, Christ-centered environment.

Incredible! Teachers are talented, sensitive and academically solid. High expectations parallel a family-centered program where individual needs are met without reservation. Staff work collaboratively with family input, offer convenient daycare and hours for meetings. Teachers and administration are encouraging and the growth we've notice is truly impressive. Can't say enough commendations.

We are new to the St. Paul family, and are tremendously blessed by the faculty and staff at the school. The level of care for each student, the emphasis on true Christian values, and the small class sizes are all contributing to an amazing education for our boys. We fully expect to see our 2 sons remain at St. Paul until they complete the eighth grade.

Sending our children to St. Paul has been a tremendous blessing to our family. St. Paul has the best teachers and a dynamic school community. It is a small school with a really big heart."

St. Paul has been a wonderful place for my family. It is just that, a Christ-centered school ministry that reaches out to the entire family. I have the peace-of-mind that my children are not just receiving a wonderful education academically, but that are also being developed in body and spirit. With Christ a the center of what St. Paul does, everything else seems to fall in place. If you are a parent reading this and looking for place where you and your child are not just a number, but a valued part of the school and community, then St. Paul is the place for you.
