My children have been at this school since we moved to the area 4 years ago. Overall we've had a great experience. The kids are receiving the support they need to grow both academically and emotionally. Most of the teachers go above and beyond for their students and are always willing to help when asked. There is a real small school feel that promotes inclusion and community. I'm especially happy with the 'middle school' teachers and their ability to engage the kids even when they start to really want to disconnect from learning as they're maturing socially. Would recommend this school to anyone.

My children are students of the school and it has been an amazing experience. My child was not thriving in the public schools when we started and within a few months she went up several reading levels and was happily learning. My other daughter and her friends all cried on the last day of school because they didn’t want it to end!

I'm a parent, and we are people of color. This school is not for us. Have gone through a lot of attitude and pain from it's Pre-K teacher. Though academically it's decent enough, it definitely does not have an emotionally healthy atmosphere.

We left a nearby disfunctional school and choose St. Peters Academy to continue our Catholic education. The experience here has been very calming and extremely rewarding. If I were to give out grades for a report card it would look like this.Principal McCarthy-A+, his calming compassion for all the students spoke loud and clear. Always doing what is right.Teachers and Staff-A+, they truly exemplify caring educators that go the extra and treat your child no different than their own children.Students-A+, they all cared and respected each other just like a family member. Parents-A+, all were kind, caring considerate.I am certain that they will continue to be friends as they venture out to different high schools and colleges.

Top notch education and the small class sizes really foster strong relationships among the kids. The school offers a lot of extracurricular activities that you won't find at most other schools in the area. The principal and staff are involved, caring and highly skilled. I know my child is learning in the best environment possible.

Saint Peter Academy is a wonderful school for most children but beware that Academics are stressed intensly. Very Challenging curriculum. The teachers are wonderful and truly care about th kids. The older kids are always looking out for the younger children. My oldest has been at the school for the past 8 years and has done extremely well, my 2 younger children have also done extremely well, both entering Kindergarten already reading and doing wonderfully in their academic persuits. The administration is good but could be better like any other school but as a parent you'll get out of the experience what you put into it, you need to be informed & involved. Overall we're very happy with St. Peter Academy!!
