This “school” is horrible and I am not even sure how they are still open. I sent my son her for VPK and ended up pulling him out after 7 weeks. Immediately after school started I kept getting complaints about my son from his teacher. Little things about how he wasn’t sitting still etc. Well he’s 4 years old and has no interest in school that’s why he’s there to learn. My son started telling me his teacher hated him and would yell at him.I had called the school and spoke with the principal. She was just as nasty as the teacher. She was pretty much implying all the kids should be quiet almost like robots. After the weeks of harassment and complaints from the school I ended up pulling him out. I ended up putting him in another school for VPK and received no complaints and he’s so happy.

The overall environment of the school is perfect and secluded and provides a safe environment. All the students, of all ages and grades know each other and are friendly towards one another. I had gone to that school since the beginning (starting from pre- school all the way up to eighth grade and now I am in high school) and I have experienced this firsthand as a graduating student. Although, academic wise, the school claims to be the 'best' and highly advanced, it is NOT and provides the basics of algebra during middle school, whereas other schools are more advanced and onto more advanced algebra or even geometry which is a ninth grade course. In conclusion, the school is highly appreciated and praised for its "homey" environment although the standardized academics are not what are claimed to be. My earlier years in St.John's Episcopal were to be cherished and still are but, many graduates including myself were behind in academics when starting ninth grade in a public school who's entity is completely different than the small school. I for one, was a straight A student in St.John's and the academics in high school are very different than what I had learned in St.John's so it is taking time to adjust to the new system. Parents, this school is a nice option if you are looking for a safe environment for your child but towards middle school, the academics are repeated and not continuous and your child may have an issue adjusting to a larger environment with a completely different system in high school (or any public school). Best of luck.

St. John's is committed to be a school of academic excellence. It strives to be a "Level Above the Rest". There is great emphasis on Math and Science so that our students are prepared to enroll in STEM classes when they graduate and enter high school. Algebra 1 and Physical Science are two high school level classes offered to our eight graders. Small class sizes and advanced curriculum make our school the best choice for academic success.

St Johns is an awsome school, the gold standard educational institution that educators both present and future need to follow as an example. The 1 star rating thats posted against thier board is undeserving of thier outstanding efforts and was meant for a Charter school nearby. I recommend that parents enroll thier children in this school.
