This is a great school with a great community that feels like family. I love the teachers and staff they are dedicated to students reaching their full potential.

We have two children at St. Edward and have been here for 5 years. We were looking for a school rooted in the Catholic traditions and centered around Christ and his teachings. We found so much more. The sense/feeling of community is immediate upon enrolling, from the Principal to the Faculty and all the Front Office staff. The curriculum is top notch and includes a well stocked STEM lab. In addition and over the last few years, the school has added several extra-curricular activities that includes a robotics team, a string ensemble, and a choir. The school also offers many ways for students to volunteer; some examples are Campus Ministry, The Green Team, Student Council, and various fundraising programs. We love St. Edward.

This school has an excellent enviroment for your children. The teachers and students are very kind to one another. So you should consider registering your children into St. Edward Parish School.

Very disappointed. I applied to get my son into 2nd grade and took a tour of the school. The school is small for the amount of kids they have per class (35 p/c) but they seem to have it well organized. Everything went great and it seemed like the ideal school for my son up until I mentioned my son would need special accommodations based on his 504 plan. He went in to take the placement test and less than a week later I received the denial letter from them explaining how "...his needs are being met far better at his present school, Schilling, than we could do here." AMAZING! So public school is doing "far better" than a private school that charges close to $8,000 annually, not including uniforms, lunch, etc. The part that makes me really, really upset is that they didn't even take the time to ASK ME what the "accommodations and modifications" were! How could they make a decision like that when they haven't even seen his 504 plan... Very sad to see that a school who follows the Catholic faith doesn't take the time to ask basic questions. In summary, if your child has ANY type of special need, don't bother applying here because they don't have the accommodations needed.

I've been at this school for 5 years and so far everything has been great. The teachers here are great and they don't go too strict on you. It has excellent curriculum and the teachers are very helpful. I'd recommend this school to the approximately 6,000,000,000 people in the world.
