Our family loves SSM! We chose to send our 2 elementary age children to St. Stephens based on the sense of Catholic community we felt the school environment offered. Our experience with the teachers have been outstanding: attentive, and gentle yet structured. My husband and I both went to Catholic schools and felt it was important for our kids to have a similar experience. We couldn't imagine sending our kids anywhere else now that they are in!

Excellent! Can’t imagine sending my kids anywhere else. The community and commitment to the school from the parents is amazing.

Honestly in this school If you're diverse in any way wether it's your race or sexuality, you're going to get descrimintaed wrongfully so, and the board of education refuses to do anything about it

St. Stephens is an excellent school with dedicated administration and teachers. Kids are challenged are learn to be responsible and self-motivated. There is a great deal of structure and clear and consistent discipline. The Home and School Association is outstanding, and helps to enhance learning with modern technology. This school offers a robotics program that is amazing! Great school. My kids love going to school at St. Stephens!

St. Stephen's is a very good school. However, the "Boss" (Fr. Tiegs) unexpectedly got rid of our outstanding principal this summer. As of right now, we do not have a principal for the 2011-2012 school year, and school starts in less than a month. The new principal will have his/her hands full. We are the largest Catholic elementary school in the Omaha area. So we need to continue to be one of the best. But it is going to be a challenge with our current leadership (or lack of leadership).

Although academics are very strong, the most important assett is the people. Most of what I hear from other parents is that there is a lot of homework, and too high of an expectation, both very appealing to us. On the Iowa test, 86% of students ranked above Percentile 80 natiowide. 50% ranked above percentile 90. Although part of the largest catholic parish, you still feel like part of a family.

I started my children there, but it didn't take long to see that they weren't going to get the high quality education and opportunities available in the public schools here. If a child is average and not toward either end of the ability spectrum, then it's an ok school. There are parent cliques. Religion is emphasized, however, the church offers a wonderful religious ed program for the public school children.
